Outdoor lighting help
 
We've got an outdoor, low-level, lighting issue. Can anyone suggest someone who can help? The lighting seems to work intermittently. Could be a short or a frayed wire somewhere. Need someone to diagnose and fix. Thanks.

I had similar problem. Check all the connections to each light. If they used a spear type connection, make sure the connection is tight, press the spear connection together. The spear connection just pierces the outside insulation of wire, to make easier installation, but these connectors fail, because they loosen easily.

As noted above the compression insulation type connections are subject to failure. If the problem is 1 or 2 lights, what I do is take a pair of lock jaw pliers and use them to tighten the connection, hand tight does not work. If you have multiple lights in one area that are all acting the same, then you probably have a bad connection in the wire feeding this area, I have seen landscapers clip wires with weed whackers. If ALL of the lights are flickering, check the connections at the power supply, including the outlet it is plugged in to.
If all this fails, send me a PM and I can help you.
