Rather then cleaning the used wire tips, cut at least three inches off and start over with clean wires. And when placing the clean wire on the side of the screw place on the left side of it, becasue the screw tightens clockwise.
I’m a newbie to outdoor lighting. I just bought a Harbor Breeze 200w transformer from Lowe’s. The back connector plates don’t indicate COM or 12v. Just 4 terminal clamp screws. The instructions say to twist the strands of a cable run together once split and stripped and then insert them under a single clamp screw. This is different from what you are showing here. Help please!!
With the low-voltage 12 V do you have two sides that just have to be attached to the screws and they lead out to your lights I’m not familiar with Harbor breeze. I’d have to see it to know what to do. Good luck. Thanks for watching.
I have this same transformer providing power to several landscape lights. I only had one wire going to all of them (just connected to one set of the COM and 12V terminals). The system has been working great for about 8 months but recently stopped working. The transformer has power and when the wire to the lights is not connected, there is voltage at the terminals but when I have the wires connected there is no voltage but the transformer still turns on. Any ideas what may have caused this to stop working?
You may have too many lights on the one circuit and need to put some on the other or you may have a break in your line somewhere sometimes the yard guys cut them with your Weedwhacker’s
If masks work, you don't need a shot. If the shots work, you don't need a mask, Since neither one has worked, you don't need mandates telling you to do the 2 things that don't work.
@@TomLeeman You're absolutely correct. Since it has nothing to do with electrical wiring, why would you include that in a video upload about electrical wiring? --- Makes no sense. ---

Excellent tip. Thanks for the info. Good luck on your install.
Never trust an electrician who wears sandals at the job. Plus fire an electrician who wears a covid mask when working alone.
Yeah I know exactly what you mean
Completely agree, what a lunatic
Amen to that
Agree must be a Brandon fan
😂😮👍🏼
Shouldn't they have a GFIC outside?
Probably
Yes. GFCI and waterproof. Also an in-use outdoor outlet cover.

Curious to know if you are running a long line and you hook up the line to the transformer what happens to the end of the other line?
I have lights out about 50 feet, so it works pretty good
How many lights you can run on every output of the transformer???
I’ve got 10 on each one but I’m not sure how many you can do for sure thanks for watching
What happens if the Com isn’t identified? On the new Portfolio, it’s blank.
I will have to do a little research on that and get back to you
I think if you're out in the open air with plenty of ventilation and not really near anybody, shouldn't need a mask
Required by property management
😆 you're outside
So how was the last one installed in parallel?
The other one only had one line running off it

Don't be dumb wear proper footwear.
good tip
Dumb question how do you know which side is common or not?
Thats a good question?
Why are you wearing a mask outside with no one around?
I wear a mask everywhere no matter what
@@TomLeeman talk to a therapist
@@TomLeeman lol yeah that protects you......not. just keep breathing in the co2 you're good and its healthy.
You lost me when tried tried to do everything with one hand.
I know should I use the tripod?
Skip the mask lecture and dwell on the basics.
If masks work, you don't need a shot.

I don’t think it has anything to do with outdoor lighting

@@lanceleavitt7472 exactly "oh wear your mask"
Sorry cant trust a guy that wears a useless mask outdoors in the open air......... but the exposed toes are very safe sir
