Best lighting for playing at night would be a 120 volt pole style street light with full cutoff, say around 20' high. Maybe not as pretty but more light for play time.

Sorry but your question lacks enough detail to begin to answer it. What type of fixtures are you seeking? There are literally hundreds of quality manufacturers out there.

Tim, just for giggles call the power company and have them do the Beast of Burden test on it. I don't know if that is what they call it in Indiana but I think it's a neutral. I don't know if the surge protector will stop that from causing havic on the equipment. That is what I wanted to ask Intermatic. If the voltage swings and you get say 150 volts on A and 90volts on B, you would still be under 240 volts and maybe that is why...

The IlluminFX product is a great suggestion! I havent seen a play set lit this way but I think it would look fantastic!!!

Unfortunately I do not have photos available...but go to www.illuminfx.com and you will see some application photos of other types of installations using the fiber optics product. Fiber Optics is also one of the best ways to light water features as there is no electricity in the line, just light.

As it is fun trying to help with troubleshooting and I always love troubleshooting I mean in no way to offend or point at any manufacturers products in a negative way. Troubleshooting is awsome because once the problem is resolved everybody learns something. My intention was to suggest looking there, as it could of have been a loose connection causing the high ampacity. I was taught to follow the power and check every connection on that...

Gerry, I am not familiar with the regulators. Can you elaborate on them a little. You say they will handle up to 75W. Most leads have more than 75Watts.....????? Do they mount inside the transformer or is there one at each fixture, etc.? What is the cost? Thank for your willingness to help! Ros
