December 28, 2024Dec 28 At my elderly parents house for the holidays. My step father (dementia) decided to physically cut the power lines in the back yard that were running the outdoor lights. It's out of my skill zone to figure it all out.
December 28, 2024Dec 28 Can you post a picture? Just lights? Edited December 28, 2024Dec 28 by Bevo&Pevo
December 28, 2024Dec 28 A lot of landscaping lighting is low voltage. If it is, you shouldn’t need an electrician. Just get a handyman to patch it up for you and save some cash.
December 28, 2024Dec 28 Electricians charge $100 an hour or more, a strand of lights is about $5. Thought about throwing away the lights and getting a new strand?
December 28, 2024Dec 28 If it is low voltage lighting, the cable will most likely be all black. That cable should go back to a control box/transformer mounted on an exterior wall. Unplug the transformer and tie the two ends of the cables back together. You can get some water proof cable terminators at Home Depot or Lowe’s. You would need two. One for each leg of the circuit.
