Generous with time and tried hard to diagnose issues. Fixed several previously unidentified issues and followed up on my questions after the fact to explain what he had done and what my next steps were. Diagnosis on the main issue turned out to be incorrect but electrical issues go that way sometimes.

This light usually is turned on 24/7 , only about 40cm in size, it stopped working suddenly today. I tried re-tie the wire and even cut out the broken part, still not working, maybe need to replace the transformer but I’m not sure. It’s plugged in, I’ve checked the power point. The green light was on on the other side of the cable so it shouldn’t be the cable or power issue. Please make offer.
