I moved into my home in Memphis, TN in February 2017, and it was built in 1986. My guess is that the pool has been here since that time, but I am not sure. It is at least 20 yrs old for sure. The home has a kidney shaped pool that is roughly 25-28k gallons.
I have struggled with water getting into the light fixture since we moved in. There was a ton of water in the fixture initially, so I took off the cover and drained it. I scraped some corrosion and the 12V light actually worked, so I replaced the gasket and cover. I couldn't make out the specific brand, so I measured the size and found parts that looked similar to what was there before. I bought an expensive LED color changing bulb and replaced everything, only to have it flood again 2 weeks later. I assumed that I didnt tighten the cover enough, so I tried tightening more but that didnt work. I also tried to silicone the edges and cord, but that didn't work either.
I have concluded that it would be best to buy a new fixture, but I have run into a major challenge. I cannot find the junction box anywhere. There is definitely a stepdown transformer located with the pool equipment, so I don't think the cord is going directly from the pool light to the transformer, but I could be wrong.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to stop water intrusion in the existing light fixture or how to locate a lost jbox? I am at a loss on how to handle.
