I install low voltage exterior lighting. I have a customer who asked me if I would look at her post light which is 120v in line and controlled only by a photocell on the post itself. She said the post light only worked for a couple of weeks after they moved in and no longer works. I figured it was a bad photocell however when I removed the top of the post and checked the main wire, I was only reading 12 volts.
Could a damaged wire be a possible cause for such a low voltage reading? The post is about 75' from the house.
