"I like the idea of these lights, but every time I purchase one for use, they trip the GFCI receptacle in my garage. I've had to return every light that I've purchased and have given up on the idea."
When I said that I've used this light in the rain more than once without any problem, he replied with:
"I believe that it's the pure wattage requirements of these lights, more than their quality (or lack thereof) that caused my GFCI to trip."
Does that make any sense?
If it was an current overage the breaker would trip not the GFCI so why would a "high wattage" device trip the GFCI?
