Outdoor light keeps tripping breaker

Anonymous user - 04/22/2026 - 5:22 PM

Every time I switch on the outdoor light, it trips the breaker. Could water have got into the fitting?

Yes, moisture inside an outdoor fitting is a common cause. Replacing the fitting or resealing it usually solves the issue.
