Why won’t my landscape lights turn on?

Common causes include:

• Tripped GFCI outlet or breaker
• Timer or photocell set incorrectly
• Transformer turned off or unplugged

If these items check out and the lights still don’t work, professional service may be needed.

When should I call for professional service?

You should contact a professional if:

• Multiple lights stop working
• Breakers or GFCIs keep tripping
• Wiring damage is suspected
• Adjustments no longer fix the issue

Why do my lights look dim?

Dim lighting is often caused by:

• Voltage drop from improper wiring layout
• Too many fixtures on one circuit
• Long wire runs
• Aging bulbs

Proper system design and transformer sizing help prevent this.

Why are my lights flickering?

Flickering is commonly due to:

• Loose connections

A technician can quickly locate and repair the issue.

Can weather affect my low voltage lighting system?

Extreme weather, heavy rain, and freezing temperatures can sometimes affect connections or fixtures, especially if the system is older or was improperly installed.

Why do bulbs burn out frequently?

Frequent bulb failure may be caused by:

• Over-voltage
• Poor-quality bulbs
• Moisture entering the fixture

Using quality LED bulbs and proper installation helps extend bulb life.
