My pool lights went out and I am finally fixing them. I had Pentair Amerlite 120v and just purchased the Hayward Universal Colorlogic 12v lights. I know there are Hayward haters out here but I have a Tristar 950 with the Omni Hub and it works for me and I wanted the color and show control I get with the Omni when using the Hayward lights. So here is the question. I have an open smart relay from the Omni, then it needs to go to the 120v -12v converter. From there I run it to the Junction box all my 3 light cables meet at. Can I use the current 4 gang Thermocraft junction box? It says "suitable for line or low voltage fixtures" in the top cap.
Also, why is 12v safer than 120v? I read that i do not have to have a GFCI with 12v, but should I? ANd will the GFCI still trip if it is GFCI breaker-OMNI SMART RELAY- TRANSORMER- LIGHTS?
Thanks for the help.
