Back 4/28/11 I replaced my old fluorescent lights with T8s and they've been working great... One section of my lights feed through an outlet and then to a switch then to the lights. Yesterday I replaced this one outlet with a GFCI .... I use this outlet a lot..The GFCI works good...The test/reset works and there is power through the switch and to the lights...This morning I went to shop and that section of lights isnt working...Everything else is working fine ..GFCI included .... I don't know how to check the ballasts but there is power to the light.
Yesterday and I have wondered this ? before. I traced which wire was the line and which was load and am sure I hooked this up right...If I had that backwards would it still work ? Im sure it isnt but just wondering on that.....
Any ideas on the lights? I bought them from Lowes on 4/28/11 ...Maybe the ballasts???
I did change the bulbs...they are good ...If the line/load is reversed would anything work in the outlet ?
