[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 476022, member: 1607"] Until you have tested any proved anything you are guessing. As a general rule it is far easier to confirm if a light works or doesn't work simply by applying some power manually. And if you have also proved that you have a supply to the photocell by default you would have proved that the cell was faulty., and this would have saved you asking your opening question. The golden rule of fault investigation when anything has stopped working is to assume nothing. Start breaking the problem down and prove individual items are functional or not. Prove and test the easiest and quickest bits first to eliminate as many unknowns as possible. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
