Hi there!
I'm in the process of replacing my Hayward Color Logic light with another light and I'm trying to determine which wire is hot, and which is neutral.
From the Hayward logic board/circuit board, the pool light wire goes into an Intermatic transformer (model PX100), converting 120v to 12v AC.
When I cut the pool light I was expecting a black & red wire, or at least two different color wires. However, they are both yellow and neither one has any discernible markings on it.
I used my multimeter to test the votage coming out of each wire, but no matter which way I put the two wires to the multimeter, they are both testing at 12v.
Similarly, when I touch the black wire on the multimeter to ground, I'm getting a reading of a few volts from both wires when touching the red cord to either.
In other words, it appears both wires are exactly the same.
Am I doing something wrong in my testing? This is my first time replacing a pool light, so this is new to me.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!
