Power pack burned out. Here's why:
1) Match wattage of bulbs with wattage of power pack
-15 each X 20 watt bulbs = 300 watts, so install 300Watt power pack
2) Installing a 500W power pack on 300W of bulbs will burn out bulbs and power pack.
3) Replace bulbs as soon as they burn out or other bulbs will burn out and power pack will burn out.
4) When working on bulbs, unplug power pack or it may burn out.

Malibu 120 has photoeye. At night, the darkness causes photoeye to turn lights ON Lights located near to the photoeye can cause the photoeye to 'think' it is daytime... so photoeye turns lights OFF... Then it's dark again because lights are off... so photoeye turns lights ON. The cycle repeats ON-OFF all night long. http://waterheatertimer.org/Malibu-power-pack-stopped-working.html Gene If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/gene_9f0ef4df2f9897e7
