Low Voltage Landscape Lighting Transformer Keeps Tripping

[@anthonyasterita]

This guy is spot on, yes problem fixed due to a bad spotlight that shorted out the entire system. A huge thank you!

[@FBIsurveillance62]

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your experience. This is helped me tremendously diagnosing several customers systems without digging up all wiring.

[@TheDIYMoneySaver]

Glad to help brother

Thanks for posting! I had the same problem with my Volt system . It was also a short in a bulb. Took a bulb I knew was good & started replacing the other bulbs one at a time until I found the bad one (didn't trip the breaker). Saved me a lot of time!! Thanks!!!

[@TheDIYMoneySaver]

Glad to help. Have a nice weekend

[@Rbro-513]

Thanks! Just the hint I needed. I removed all the bulbs in the leg that was tripping the breaker, then turned it back on, added the bulbs back one by one and the last bulb sent of a puff of smoke.

[@marcbrungardt859]

Genius! I was about to start pulling wires until I saw this. Low and behold it was the 2nd bulb in my Volt system I checked out of about 50 options, so lucky there. I will be calling them tomorrow for a replacement.

Glad to help. Had my
Entire yard ripped out

[@joehirschegger7723]

Thanks for this! I had the same issue today and it was the third light I looked at. I was worried that I had to dig up over 120 metres of cable. It was a pagoda style path light that I guess just gave up the ghost. It was 11 years old it had a good life. Thank goodness I had an extra in the garage...those things are dang expensive!

[@TheDIYMoneySaver]

Glad to help

[@ChrisBurnsATL]

Thanks man. Same problem tonight after rainstorm. I guess I’ll be changing out some labels tomorrow morning to find the short. good tips!

[@TheDIYMoneySaver]

Any update on this? Was it the bulb?

[@FredBloggs-tp4yj]

Thanks for this. The comment about the smell was very helpful. I separated two leads, just like in the video, and all except 1 light then worked without tripping the internal breaker. I also zoomed in to the faulty light by smell alone.

[@TheDIYMoneySaver]

Glad it helped!

[@TheDIYMoneySaver]

For sure. I would go around and just smell the fixtures. You’ll know immediately

[@russellmckittrick7434]

Thanks man Im going to check for a non op light for the few seconds the switch turns on before I start ripping out wires

[@lawrence6622]
