    Default Another electrical question

    So I'm in the process of troubleshooting my pool light and I'm stumped. I just installed a new switch and still have the same issue.

    Switch on left is the pool light, right is spa. Spa is working fine. Meter is showing 85 volts on the pool switch, 121 on the spa switch.

    It looks like a mess using interrupted hots. But I cant really see enough. Can you lay the switches flat and take a shot straight on?

    Why aren't the neutrals hooked up?

    No idea. I opened the box and this is how it was. Don't know enough about electrical but it seems odd to have unused wires in there. Not sure how the spa light is working though

    The whites together looks to be correct. Perhaps this image will help. Someone will come along to correct though.

    EDIT: I removed the image so as to not be confusing. The image I posted was two switches, controlling one light. Looks like you have two switches, controlling their own appliances.

    Not a 3 way so I don't think there is a traveler. 2 switches each powering a different light.

    Check hot to neutral at the switch.
