Troubleshooting 

 

 

 

Problem 

Probable Cause 

All of the lights fail to work 

y

 

Check that the transformer power is on. 

y

 

Check if there is a loose connection at the transformer screw 
terminal with the cable. 

y

 

Check that the power switch is not in an OFF setting. 

Only some lights work 

y

 

Check the connector to make sure the wire barbs have pierced the 
landscape cable. 

y

 

Halogen or incandescent bulbs (if applicable) can be burned out. Use 
caution as the bulb can be hot. 

The lights are on during the day 

y

 

The photocell is mounted in a dark area which causes  the lights to 
turn on unnecessarily. 

The lights do not switch on at dusk 

y

 

The photocell is mounted in an area that has too much constant light 
at night ,preventing the system from turning on.
