I am currently SLAMing away at some Black Algae for my pool at the house I bought a few months ago. I removed the pool light to see what was lurking in there and it was pretty gross. The light never worked so we assume the bulb is out. There are no markings on the bulb (I think I saw the word pool on it somewhere but it wiped off when I was cleaning it so...) I don't know what the inside is supposed to look like but its pretty gross. There didnt seem to be a lot of water within the metal fixture but some was trapped between the lens and the cover. There was lots of algae on the o-ring and inside the lens and some on the edges of the metal fixture along with some slime/baby puke but it didn't seem flooded.
Do I need to replace the entire metal fixture or should I just try buying a new bulb (which I have to figure out the size for) and see if it works? I am mostly concerned with the color of whatever that... ?insulation? is at the end of the metal fixture but I am really clueless here. Thanks so much for the help in advance!
