Yard Lamp Post Not Working

We found the sensor was partly melted we figured from a lightening storm.

Yard lamp post not working.

Jack heads out into the yard to look for shorts check the transformer and all the other points on his list that may be why their landscape lights aren t working. I have an outdoor lamp post light that stopped working. We have a dusk to dawn yard light that quit working. If there is a photo sensor between the base of your yard light and your light fixture and the tester does not light up the photo sensor may need to be replaced.

I have an outdoor light that is not working right. Unfortunately solar lights have a few quirks that may make them less reliable as time goes on. I have tried several bulbs a new light socket and a separate lamp connected to the two power lines black and white. The light worked but did not turn off after a week or so now the light does not work again.

We replaced the sensor. They re simple to install and can be moved around the yard because they re not connected to electrical cords. There is on off button it s not turned on. Most of the outdoor solar garden lights come with on off button and that button needs to be turned on.

Ensure that the ansi numbers of lamps and ballast correlate. It could also be that your lamp is not properly positioned in the socket simply position the lamp well and tighten it. In many cases this simple thing is ignored by many people and this is one of the main reasons why your solar light isn t working as expected. I have checked the power to the light many times it keeps lighting the 120v on the power checker.

To fix this check your lamp type and compare it to the label on the fixture. First i wired a single pole switch to the light box and this is correct because i verified the wiring using another light fixture and it works just fine. I does not light. If the tester does not light there is an issue with the wiring between the base and the top of the yard lamp and the wiring could need to be replaced.

Outdoor light fixtures electrical question. How do i fix an outdoor light that is not working right. Solar lights seem like a great idea when they re brand new. Many times this can go bad causing the light to stay on or off.

After a few hours he finds that the reason is the wire leading out of the transformer to the lights was damaged.
