What type of wire can I use/should use for light controller??

It asks for 6/3 wire for 220v 8 outlet, and 10/2 for a 4 outlet one... my issue is what type of wire do I need??? Romex it looks like what I’m supposed to use?? It’s beyond more pricey than something like Gray Stranded CU UF-B W/G Wire... which is mainly for burial... can I still SAFELY use this?? Or go with a romex?

Just this guy, ya know?
I'm not an electrician, so take this with a grain of salt, but from my understanding the UF cable is fully waterproof, like you said it can be buried, and is usable in and out doors. "Romex" is a brand name of non metallic sheathed wire and I am pretty sure they only have polymer on the outside, the inner wire wraps are normally paper, so not suitable for outdoor or burying. If it's just a matter of cost I'm 99% sure you can use the UF inside for your purposes. You should probably double check your local wiring codes before you do anything though. Good luck :tiphat:
