Documented field work
Installation details and completed work
The need
The reported problem was an outside light that remained on all the time. The electrician replaced the switch, but the light continued to stay on in both switch positions. The recorded work also notes that the existing light was faulty and needed replacing.
PTX's approach
PTX reviewed the situation and worked on troubleshooting. The switch was replaced and the outside light was opened for inspection; no issue was found in the light fixture during that check. The wires were then separated at the switch, but the outside light still remained on. A new motion light was sourced from a wholesaler for the replacement.
The recorded result
PTX installed the new motion light on October 22, 2026. This job is recorded as complete in North Vancouver. No further outcome beyond the installation is recorded.
What this job helps another property owner consider
If an outside light stays on regardless of the switch position, changing the switch may not resolve the problem. This documented service call shows why the switch and light should be reviewed together before deciding whether a replacement light is needed. It is an example of one recorded fault, not a diagnosis for another property.
