Hello all,
Having trouble getting lights in msr to come on. I have juice coming into dimmer switch and out of switch when I turn it on. Hard to believe there is a punccture in wire as they are well protected with jacket. Any ideas? thanks

If you've got juice at the switch (outgoing), do you have juice at the light?

What voltage are you getting out of the dimmer switch?

Tell me if this is right. You have 120v into a dimmer switch and 120v out. Then the power runs from the dimmer to a transformer and from the transformer to some low voltage lights. Is this right? If so, what voltage do you have into and out of that transformer?

Well, the dimmer has 120v on both sides, right? So are the bulbs in the fixtures 120v as well or are they low voltage?
