Lowering the load should not affect the GFI receptacle trip other than you might be removing whatever piece of wiring that is causing the problem.
You might try spraying some WD-40 into the ends of the extension cords and on the plug end of each light stringer. Or, wait until it rains again and unplug 1/2 of the lights, this will narrow down your search. Once you determine which 1/2 is causing the trouble, divide that bunch in 1/2 again until you finally find the culprit.
Finding GFI problems can be a frustrating experience. |
