How To Reset Outdoor Light

Your outdoor lights are an important part of your home's security and curb appeal. But what do you do when they stop working? One of the first things you should try is resetting the light. This is a simple process that can often fix the problem.

Here are the steps on how to reset an outdoor light:

Turn off the power to the light. You can do this by flipping the breaker that controls the light or by unscrewing the fuse that powers the light.
Wait a few minutes. This will give the light time to discharge any remaining electricity.
Turn the power back on.
Try to turn on the light. If the light turns on, then the reset was successful.

If the light still doesn't turn on, then there may be another problem. You can try troubleshooting the problem yourself or you can call an electrician for help.

Here are some additional tips for resetting outdoor lights:

If the light is controlled by a dimmer switch, make sure that the dimmer switch is turned all the way up.
If the light is controlled by a motion sensor, make sure that the motion sensor is working properly.
If the light is controlled by a timer, make sure that the timer is set correctly.
