Matt,
This transformer was put in by the OLD electrician! This is NOT a residential
grade piece of equipment; It is a widely used transformer and is available at
Lowe’s. Please read my e-mail carefully: we don’t need an electrician to change
out this transformer! I will be changing it myself because it is a simple plug
into the existing live outlet. The issue is whether the board wants to spend
$60 or not!

Why are we using residential grade equipment? I thought when we had the new
electrician he was going to do commercial grade equipment. It seams like we
have been having way too many issues with the lighting. I feel like we keep
putting bandages on something that needs a surgeon. I think we need to get a
“true” professional to do it once and not need to worry about it.

Hi Y’all,
As you may have noticed, the middle island lights on Park Forest have not been
on for the past ~ 2 months. I have checked and found that the 120 V power is on
at the outlets. However, there is no power coming out of the LOW VOLTAGE side
of the transformer. We don’t need an electrician to change the transformer
because it is a simple 3-pin plug on the 120 volt side (see attached picture).
The price is ~ $ 60 at Lowes.
I am requesting permission from the board to spend this $ 60. Please respond
ASAP
Thanks and wish you all a Happy New-year
