Common Problem
Pool Light Not Working? Common Causes and Next Steps
A dead pool light is sometimes just a bulb — but a tripping GFCI may indicate moisture in the fixture, a serious safety issue. Orlando's high water table and heavy storms make niche leaks more common than in drier climates.
Most likely causes
- Burnt out bulb
- Bad GFCI breaker
- Moisture in fixture
- Damaged cord or conduit
What to do now
Do not swim if the GFCI is tripping. Consider scheduling a licensed electrician to inspect the niche and fixture before replacing the bulb.
