I have a spa light that keeps tripping the GFCI. I have taken the light out of the niche, replaced the bulb, and cleaned the internals. The light will stay on for hours just sitting in the floor of the spa. But when I install it in the niche and turn it on, it immediately trips the GFCI. Any ideas what may be causing this??
I have to add that the niche was put in the wrong way. It is turned at a 90 degree angle... such that the 'pilot screw' for the light assembly is at 3:00 instead of 12:00. I have contacted Pentair to make sure there is no risk involved with this orientation. Of course, I have not heard back. Any input on that would be appreciated, as well. The pool is 15 years old; so, the pool company will not fix their screw-up.
Thanks in advance
