Hello guys,
My light isn't working. I've verified that the light has electricity going to it and it's not tripping the GFCI so my assumption is a basic blown bulb. However, the water is incredibly cold and dipping my hands in there for even a minute leaves me feeling hypothermic. My light is a pentair and it looks a lot like the one pictured on this thread

Anyway, when I go to try to remove the set screw in the top it doesn't *appear* from the poor angle I am looking at it that there is a screw there. It looks like there might be some dirt there but when I try to scrape at it it doesn't come out. When I try pry at the side of the light (gently) to see if it'll come out it's in there firmly. Anyone have any idea how to approach this considering the pool is so cold? I'm mainly having trouble getting a good look at it but I think the video camera in a ziplock bag might be most helpful. I just came up with using a mirror half a second ago too and I think I'll try that. Is it even possible for there to be no screw in there and the light stays in? I'm not sure how it clamps in.
