Any electricians out there? Have a strange problem.

Sorry; this post is NOT about my Klipsch speakers :) 

 

Have a strange problem that I have been trying to solve for months now :(  One of my pool lights went "out." Pulled the fixture and replaced the LED bulb. Nothing :(  Thought it might be a transformer problem so replaced my (aging) electricals with a new (all-in-one timer/transformer) Intermatics box. Still NO GO on second light.  The strange part is that I do measure 10.2V at the fixture, but nothing when I screw in the light bulb :(  Even tried wires from the fixture directly to the bulb - NOTHING. And yes, bulb is fine - checked it with a 9V DC battery.

 

Appreciate any thoughts on this.

 

Many thanks, Emile

Run a Resistance Check on your positive wire and negative/ground wire for possible high resistance connection or break/corrosion..
