Friday evening I came home to find my landscape lighting system off. The circuit breaker inside the transformer enclosure was tripped.
I was a little down about it, but the Clamp-Connect Transformer and Pro Junction Hubs helped simplify the troubleshooting process. I started by unclamping all four of my runs from the transformer and then reconnected them one at a time to determine which leg/zone was tripping the breaker. Then I did the same thing at that hub - disconnecting all of the lights wired to the hub, then reconnecting them one at a time.
Using that process I was able to trace the issue down to one spotlight. I couldn't find any physical damage to the cable between that spotlight and the hub, so I swapped the bulb from a known good spotlight in another zone. It worked, so the diagnosis was a bad bulb. Volt Lighting has a lifetime warranty on their LED bulbs, so I called them and they are sending me a new one. They said it should arrive in 1-2 days.
Great set up! I went the same route with Volt (12) spotlights, (8) path/area lights, (2) 150 watt transformer, (4) hubs. I still need to add some additional lighting in the back, will be installing (10) well lights. Everything came out to be $$865.
