If all of your Trex ® lights are out, or your lights are blinking...
Have you overloaded the circuit? Check the transformer capacity calculator below.
YES
NO
Purchase another transformer and use it to power the second half of the circuit.
A short in the wiring can cause your lights to blink.
Connect the transformer to just the first light. If the light continues to blink, replace the transformer. If the blinking is not present, connect the first half of the circuit.
If the first half of the lights connected to the circuit blinks, work backwards checking each light. The possible short is likely in the first half of lights. If the lights do not blink while the first half is connected, go ahead and connect the second half of the circuit.
If the second half of the circuit blinks, work backwards from the last light checking each light. The possible short is likely in the second half of lights.

Above listing is for maximum number of each individual types of lights. If mixing and matching lighting, contact Trex to determine if more than on transformer is required.
If you think you have found a short...
General guidelines regarding shorts: If your lighting is wired with wire nuts, make sure the wire is not damaged and that a staple has not penetrated the wire sheath. If you’re using Trex LightHub ® plug-and-play lights, remove the 5' male/male wire that connects the light to the splitter, and try a known working 5' male/male wire.
