Newb question - this is a pool light that is controlled by a relay on a RP hat. The creator made this illustration. I am wondering if the black wire intersection (indicated by the red arrow) is correct? Shouldnt it be "not connected"? He's a very competent person, so I am questioning myself. Thank you.

 

it should NOT be connected

 

It should not be connected.

Notice that the connection "dot" is only above the horizontal wire. This is probably meant to be the old style arc that "jumps over" the vertical wire. But because the wires are so thick, the arc needs to have a larger radius to make that clear.

 

Do it this way:

 

Thanks everyone.

That makes sense.
