Solution

• Reset circuit breaker in main panel or the GFCI usually located in a bathroom, garage, or kitchen.

Solution

• Use a high-grade model such as the Hubbell #GF5252I.

Solution

• Test cable for voltage. If none, it is cut. If there is very low voltage and the cable is hot, there is a short. Check all fixtures and splices for defects.

Solution

• Drop the affected cable run down to the next lower voltage tap or increase wattage load on that cable to drop voltage. Also, some lamps are rated for a very short life such as the 4414 (300 hours). Use halogen lamps.

Solution

• The closest lamp will always have a higher voltage reading than the last lamp. Cable fixtures so that there is about 40' from first to last within a lighting zone. See system layout for details.

Solution

• Move affected cable to the next higher voltage tap or reduce load on cable. If possible, run additional cable to first fixture to reduce voltage loss.

Solution

• With spring type sockets, it is important to leave some slack so the socket contacts make a good connection to the lamp base.

Solution

• As non-waterproof splices corrode, they create electrical resistance, which reduces voltage.

Solution

• In order to operate properly, the photocell must have a good look at daylight. Move to a brighter location.

Solution

• Schedule the irrigation to come on after the lights have gone off. This is especially true with the 50 W spots — very hot.
