Recently decided to investigate replacing the blown bulb in my pool. Has never worked since I moved into the house in 2015. I turned off all power and removed the fixture to inspect and determine if it is 120 or 12 volt. Purchased a new 120 v led bulb and gasket. Before installing the new bulb, i decided to try a regular light bulb and discovered it didn't work. Looks like the gfci switch/outlet combo has a bad switch. I measured voltage going into the switch but none coming out. Would you replace the gfci switch/outlet combo? Or replace the 20 amp breaker that feeds the switch/outlet with a gfci breaker and use a regular switch/outlet combo to power the light? Why? I image one of them needs to be gfci according to code. Also, should the 20 amp double pole breaker that feeds the pump also be gfci?
Contemplating changing from 120v to 12v as 120 in water makes me nervous. Is that change as "simple" as replacing the 120v light fixture and pulling a new cord through the niche and adding a transformer or is a new niche needed? Some pics of my old panel for reference.
Thanks for any feedback.
