What type of light? What type of leak? If water leaks into a light it usually needs to be replaced. If water is leaking at the light niche, that is another issue that usually has nothing to do with the actual light fixture. Those can be repaired most times.

Whenever I turn it on it immediately trips the gfci. I replaced the GFCI. No fix. Pool company wanted over $1500 to replace the light. The old one was a Pentair Amerilite. I think they are discontinued. I have found a Pentair SpaBrite lite. Not sure if that is the proper replacement.

Amerilite - large and very much still available.
Spa Brite - small and also available.
