I have an outdoor photocell that's hooked to 4 gfci outdoor outlets (makes
them work dusk to dawn) put Xmas lights up everything all good until while
sitting here tonight the llights went out about 30 seconds then came back on.
They seem to do this every few hours. Outlets aren't tripping and breaker
doesn't trip .... any ideas?

Why not cover the cell with tape so it's completely dark. Does the fault go away?
