One landscape light not working. Most of the outdoor solar garden lights come with ONOFF button and that button needs to be turned ON. Common problems include pinched wires near the fixture or loose bulbs. You could remove one fixture at a time to see if you can find the bad one.

If its an LED system one bad fixture could be causing the whole system to not work. And 90-percent of the time the loss of power is due to a tripped Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter or GFCI. Open the transformer for access to where the landscape wire is attached to the transformer output terminals.

V I R where V Volts I Current and R Resistance. Reverse the hot and common wires on the Photocell 120v input. The circuit breaker or GFI got tripped.
