Light in my pool is currently not working. Worked last season though. I have it ran through a 120v to 12/13/14V transformer.
At this point, not sure of the light manufacturer as I've yet to pull it from the pool.
When testing voltage today, I found that I do have 120v coming into the transformer but my usual connection of 12v only gives off 8v, 13v gives off 9v and 14v gives off 10v. Think my transformer is dying, however, I've read that these usually just go out totally.
For kicks, I went ahead and connected it to the 14v (to get 10v) but light still doesn't come on, not even a little. Hence my questions:
1.) Does a pool light need the necessary voltage to work, even at a dimmed capacity?
2.) Is there anymore testing I could do to verify it's the transformer and not the bulb/light fixture?
Thanks in advance!
