It is about 60F in the garage. The CFL bulbs in the outdoor fixtures
work fine. They are a little slow to fully light, but the garage door
opener doesn't light at all.
Hi,
My guess is the light socket in the opener is contolled by a solid state
relay rather than electro mechanical relay. Then it won't light for
sure. For one thing SS relay needs certain amount(Watts) of minimum load
to activate.
Why is that, Tony?
