Surely you should be asking the electrician?
And don't call me Shirley.

Hi westward10. I'm not sure why he disconnected it. He didn't end up fixing the problem - just said I needed to drain the pool so the light could be worked on as there was little current/voltage getting to it (water in the cable).

I really hope those rusty terminal blocks are on the 12v DC side.




And even then....

I wonder whether they became rusty "after" being removed from their weatherproof enclosure

Thanks for nothing guys. If you don't know, I'd have alot more respect if you just said so rather than the cocky smart --- comments.

All the best.

Its hard to tell from what you have posted.
You have shown us two transformers there, they need a mains feed in to them. And they need wires out of them to the light or lights that they are powering.

Unless you can identify which is what of the several wires you have photographed, then the only option is by a site visit.

Looking back, you said

So, I imagine, that that light, or lights, were causing problems of some sort. So have you drained the pool, has the light been worked on, replaced. Has it been tested to check it can be reconnected??
Or are you hoping that it has magically healed itself and it will work if you connect it up again?

Of course pal. I'm hoping it's magically healed itself. A bit like I'd hoped to get a sensible response from a 'know it all.'

Ahh, I've just noticed that you are one of those digger deviants.

So, if its all been drained, replaced/repaired and ready to go, you need to identify which of those cables in your pictures go where, and maybe can advise more. Its kinda difficult, you see, in the second picture there's only one cable end. This MAY be the 230v feed (or whatever you use in Wallabyland) but where's the other cable that goes to the light(s)?

I'd come and have a look but Australia is a bit far for me to travel.

So.. more information = more help.


EDIT The bl;ack transformer in the second picture is cracked, so you cannot use that anymore. the first drop of rain and - pop
