Pool Light Removal at Closing

[Aspfam]

We had a crack in the light housing this summer that caused a leak. That has now been fixed but I'm nervous to remove the light for winter. I feel like the more I mess with it the more likely the fix itself will be damaged. The light is in the deep end of the pool and will be more than a foot below the waterline once I pump it down to close it. Is there any issue with leaving it in for the winter?

What model light are we discussing?

It's an older, flourescent style light. Pool is 13 years old. Not one of the new LED's.

I have never removed lights during winterization in 30 years of pool ownership.

Thank you.
