      What ever was tripping dried out. You should put your outside plug on a GFCI .

      My Florida home only has 2, which I’m not used too. One is outside on the front of the house in an outside outlet and one is in one of my bathrooms for the entire house. Hope this helps

      If they aren't LED lights you might have to many plugged into one outlet. You can run another extention cord from another outlet.

      The 15amp circuit breaker trips when you plug outside lights. When a breaker trips, the switch only moves to the middle, and when you tried to reset with outside still plugged in, that's your problem area. Something shorting the circuit. TV and Christmas lights should be way under 15amps. Most likely one of your extension cords is faulty. Move them around.... you'll find it.

      @wbunch by GFIs are built right into the receptacle. When they were installed the electrician said that only one is needed on each breaker circuit. That one protects all the plugs in the run no matter how many. Glad to hear that there are now GFI Circuit breakers. They are a good safety item. Especially in kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor damp locations

    We used to trip the fuses too, but be sure to use electrical tape when you connect strands of lights and when connecting to any extension cords so rain or condensation does not get in between the connections….. if you don’t use outside timers, you totally should…… that way you don’t have plug them in each day…. Digital times are your friend…

    Kyle - fellow Celebration resident here. Check Celebration Back Porch about an electrician referral or ask on the site and you will get some response to your inquiry unless you know one already. You are basically a victim of newer construction code with the fuse panel components and types. Outside plugs should be wired on their own circuit for two reasons. If you are going to have a GFI incident, outdoor decor is a primary trip cause with water etc., and with the sprinkler system being active, your chances r greatly multiplied. Apparently, you have both inside and outside on the same circuit, and without separate circuits, overload is more likely to happen like you r experiencing when the holiday decor is put up. Several comments have spoken to this as well. Have been there before in new build and the bedroom circuit breakers were arc fuse type and drove me crazy. Would trip if light bulb burned out!! Good Luck!! Also loved the scavenger hunt, do the same thing anymore in Publix getting items on a list it seems!!

      I agree with what you’re saying, I don’t like having an outside receptacle on with an interior one. However to my knowledge it is not a NEC violation. As long as the outside receptacle is GFCI protected in some way there’s no violation. As far as Florida building codes haven’t a clue I’m in Ohio

    “Jer Bear” explain to Kyle that was a gfi breaker. It was just doing it’s job. Gfi measure minute amount of electricity flowing. It’s to protect you. Unfortunately all the cheap stuff we get to buy for outdoor lighting just doesn’t play nice with a gfi. Spray plug with wd40 may help a little. Ps all breakers trip half way. Then you reset them

    Hi, some animal may have bitten the wires. But from what you indicate, the problem is in the exterior lights. Even though they are waterproof, there may be a light bulb that moisture is getting into. At the time you tried it was during the day that it's hot and dry, try at night to see what happens.

  • @terancedecker-harris1041

    I am seeing this answer thru out this video but could be a bad breaker or GFCI is bad or needs replacement. But yes callan electrician thats not work you do yourself unless you have done it before.
    Also with all the flooding and water tou had a few months ago the seal on the outdoor plug could have let water in and held it, now its dried out its fine.

    You absolutely have a short so you’re going to have to take your outside lights and plug them in one set at a time rule out that it’s not the extension cords that is causing it and if it doesn’t on every set, there’s something going on with your outlet or your GFI outlet It is going to be tedious, but that’s the only way to troubleshoot a short again do it by one extension cord at a time or one set of lights at a time and plug them directly into the outlet now you can do us a group of lights that are in your bushes and see if that causes it or does it

  • @cynthiaa6025
    @cynthiaa6025 7 днів тому

    The breaker is maxed out! You have too much current flowing through it. It's a matter of time until it will trip again. You need to unplug some of those lights and move them to another circuit. Problem solved. Electrician here.

  • @debs1692
    @debs1692 9 днів тому +3

    Love the scavenger hunt, that is such a cute idea!
    With new construction you could have AFCI everywhere (been a residential code requirements since the 2015 cycle, but not sure what FL has adopted for their code, but it does look like AFCI circuit breakers in the video), so if the circuit keeps tripping on the inside there's a chance it's due to an arc. Definitely not something you want to mess with on your own, if it keeps happening you should hire an electrician to get it looked at.

    If you got water in the outdoor plug it will trigger the gfci outlet. Once it dries out you can reset it by pushing the buttons on it. Sometimes it resets on its own. I'd get an electrician to check it out to ensure its ok.... also if the Christmas lights are from Amazon they could be cheap chinese knock offs. I bought led light bulbs for inside my house and they kept flickering. My electrician checked everything and it was ok. He told me to throw out the Amazon light bulbs and install Phillips (or some other name brand ones) and I've never had a problem since.

    Your porch outlet appears to be a regular outlet not a GFCI outlet, which will have a trip and reset buttons on the outlet itself. Since it's a regular outlet it tripped the main circuit for that area that feeds the house. My house has GFCI outlets in the bathrooms and outdoors on my porches.. I would call an electrician and replace the porch outlet no matter what.. Something had gotten wet and dried out... Also Home Depot or Lowes may still have those power stakes for Christmas decorations still out for sale. Sometimes those can trip and you can reset those .. It may help for now.. Double check your decorations and make sure something isn't sitting in water when it rains or when the sprinklers run.

  • @jsheridan02

    The breaker going into the middle position is the position it goes when the breaker trips. That’s normal. That breaker appears to be a GFCI breaker (that little button on the breaker will test the breaker, the same way a GFI outlet works) these breakers are more sensitive. You solved the problem, when you plug the outside lights in breaker tripped. That means there is something wrong w what you plugged in, prolly water, dew etc. The breaker is working as it should.
