Photocell and GFCI breaker

Hello group:



I have a 120v post lamp adjacent to a pool/spa. I have installed a GFCI breaker to feed the post lamp and it works okay when using the breaker as the 'on/off'. When I wired the PEC in, the breaker trips. I am assuming that the breaker is sensing a 'leak' if you will and that is why it trips. What can I do to prevent this?



Thanks.

Find the fault(leak) on that circuit & repair it.

Maybe the lamp has some moisture in it ?

Thanks, sQuick.

I'll check that out and see what I can find. Never thought of that.
