Eh, I thought this too but the problem still remains that neither the black or white wire has 120 volts on them. Since I'm not even sure which breaker circuit the pool light switch is on (maybe used to be on the pool pump breaker? idk) I just grabbed my insulated meter probe and popped the locked in wire out. Not that the shock hazard mattered because testing the switch proved it was fine, and neither wire had continuity to each other OR to the common ground. So for sure a busted circuit. I'll try to wire the transformer directly to the 20amp breaker as mentioned above and see if the transformer activates with the 20amp breaker switched on. If THAT doesn't work, I'm looking at a much bigger electrical gremlin.
