How do I run a GFI outlet off an existing motion light?

Question

I have a 100ft run. The wire is in pvc conduit and will be buried. I am attempting to run the wire off an existing motion light. I tried taking the light completely off and connecting the wire to the wires in the box. I get no power to the outlet. The outlet will power a 12 volt pool pump.

Answer 1

Try pressing the reset switch on the GFCI.

If you have constant power at the light and have spliced it correctly, you should have power at the outlet.
