    Outdoor Light blow out
    Any outdoor electric expert... I am having a problem with my outdoor post light. I have been getting my light blown out every time it rains. Not sure how, but my light bulb gets broken and water gets into it. What is the problem? If I change the fixture it is possible for it to continue?
