Appropriate wire for splices and xConnect runs?

I'm sure there's a million answers to what wires are "appropriate" for 12V lights. I was given a 250ft spool of Syston QSH-CBL-M wire which is a 16AWG pair with a 22AWG pair.

Question, this seems to me like a perfect fit for 12V light runs (thicker for power, 22AWG retains data better) whether I'm splicing to wire ends together or making longer runs with xConnect ends. Anyone see any reason why this stuff wouldn't work? My current pixels are 3 strand so I would just leave one of the 22AWG unused, but I guess if I ever got 4 strand pixels it would work for them as well.

The only downside I see is that the jacket is blue which might stick out a little during the day... but free trumps a little blue :)
