A couple months ago, the light went out in our pool. After shopping around, I finally bought a Color Splash 3G LED bulb to add some pizzazz to the pool and back yard. Yay!
So today, I took the fixture out. When I got the lens and gasket off, a couple teaspoons of water came out. There is also a little bit of corrosion around the fixture itself. It's not completely rusted out or anything like that, but this fixture is clearly a few years old. I'm more concerned about the wiring and safety than I am the little bit of spots of corrosion on the fixture.
My question is, at what point should I replace the entire fixture? I've included some pictures here.
I don't see any obvious damage or anything, but as I said, this thing has been a round a while. My biggest concern I guess is the wire.
Also, the pool light is hooked up to a breaker that has a "Test" button (GFCI I assume?) If there were a problem with the fixture or wiring, I'd be ok... right?
I kind of think I'm being a little paranoid here, but submerged electrical appliances make me... what's the word... nervous.
