Pool Light Won't Stay on for Longer Than 3 Minutes Breaker Is Not Tripped Light Comes Back on After

what color light does it put out. High pressure sodiums go on and off. Its normal.Thats a yellowish light. Have a halogen or metal halide installed by an electrician. There a white light and you wont have that issue. The luminair has thermal protection. When it gets too hot it will shut off. Turns on when its cool again

1. Pool light trouble? What is wrong with it?

your gfi needs to be replaced yes the one that is suck. the light should be on the load side of that gfi with the switch not very fair way

Swimming at night is safer and more fun with a pool light. At night, underwater lights can help swimmers see their surroundings, as well as aiding any lifeguards in patrolling the water. Underwater pool lights are typically made with the use of halogen bulbs, though these days the use of LEDs is increasing. The water around the light fixtures acts as a cooling agent to help to dissipate the heat generated from them. How Do Pool Lights Keep Dry Pool lights are tightly sealed and designed to keep dry. The glass is very thick for extra protection, held in the pool by a strong clip or screw. If a bulb needs to be changed, it can be pulled above water and replaced. Pool lights are designed to minimize risk of injury from electricity-the whole light fixture is tightly sealed against water entering for exactly this purpose. Pool lights also usually have a ground fault circuit interrupter, GFCI, which means even a very tiny leak will shut the power off.

3. Billiards (pool): light or heavy stick?

Light or heavy stick is up to you, I recommend which ever you feel you have more control with, if you are looking to purchase a break stick, I would suggest looking for a jump/break, and will generally break down into 3 pieces, they also tend to be light or very back weighted as you do not want to raise a heavy stick in the air for a jump. As for the method of breaking, I would recommend that you: 1. Never break off the rail. bring the cue ball onto the table enough that you can use a full closed bridge and still strike at the center of the ball. I will usually put the cue just behind the headstring. 2. Minimize any english you use, for breaks in games where you want to maximize the spread of the balls. If you choose to use english at all, do not use a lot, no more than the edge of the cue at center ball. when you move the stick off center you reduce the amount of energy transfered to the ball. 3. Use a hard tip, phenolic is best for breaks, break/jump sticks a hard or extra hard leather will do also, do not use the same amount of curvature on the tip of a break stick as you do a regular stick keep the tip a little flatter than normal. again this is about maximizing the amount of energy transfered. 4. Always look at the rack, see that it's straight, proper spotting, tight, a loose ball might be a weak spot in a rack or a way to help you pocket something easily. 5. for games like straight pool (aka 14.1 continuous) a softer break at one of the corners will minimize the spread of the balls

4. How to pick a transformer for a pool light?

The Intermatic can control multiple devices, within its load range. Its just that all those devices will be on the same schedule. They do make Intermatics with multiple circuits and timer programs (say you wanted one for you main pump, one for a booster pump, one for lights, etc...) Think there's one that controls 3 circuits and costs $200. All digital. What are you using now for timers? Any lighting will need to be protected with either an GFCI outlet (cheaper) or GFCB (GFCI breaker, which is more). You can use 1 transformer for all lights, as long as you do not mind them being on same timer circuit. Keep in mind deck lights and landscape lights can use LED bulbs, which use very little power. My 3 spot lights (for Crepe Myrtles) and 4 plant bed area lights use less than 50 watts. I do not know what a "pool code" transformer is, but I suspect its all about the housing. Which is a shame/sham because that $80 Intermatic transformer is a metal box with a $10 transformer in it. Same could be achieved buying a cheaper transformer like the one danpik listed and puting it in a water tight box from Home Depot (those grey pvc boxes with water tight fittings). But thats a personal thing if someone wants to diy the components vs buying off the shelf. Again, all this is protected by the GFC outlet or breaker.
