Could use some guidance and clarification on my lighting situation. Quick background: Final stage of the pool build completed today (acid wash) and pool is currently filling as we speak. That said, we just had our 3 Pentair GloBrite LED Bubblers installed as they get placed after plaster is done. In total now, I have 6 Lights, 3 GloBrite LEDs, 2 IntelliBrite Color LED Pool Lights, and 1 IntelliBrite Color LED Spa Light. All 12V, connected to a single 300Watt Transformer and 1 relay. Now in doing some research, I am seeing that this may not be the ideal setup, but I initially went with this approach as I did not mind being all in for the lights (everything on or everything off).
However, this evening while doing some work outside and with the lights on, I started to notice something odd. First, my spa light went out. All the lights had been on and running for at least 10mins without noticing anything odd. Then as I said, spa light went out. Shortly after, I noticed 1 bubbler light went out. Then another, then a minute later, the first bubbler came back on. Now I started to feel stumped. I would have thought that there was something potentially in the programming (which I admit I haven't gotten far yet on) if it would have just been the bubblers as they are different (GloBrite vs IntelliBrite) but the fact that my spa light was the first to go out made me nix that theory. Eventually the spa light came back on but these 4 continued to randomly turn on and off. Even more odd, the 2 IntelliBrite Color LED Pool Lights never changed. The color for everything was set to just White.
Has anyone seen this before? Math wise my wattage should be well under what is recommended in the manual(s) for these lights, so I can't imagine that is the issue. But I'm no electrician so I would defer to those folks!
Happy to share any additional detail but would appreciate any insights!
