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
