Pool Light Notes

It appears the pool light is in working condition, as I was able to turn on the pool and the spa light via the switches nearest to the sliding glass door. However once turned on for longer than 1 minute the circuit breaker fails and the GFI trips.

I feel that because I do not see water inside the light that the fault is in the GFI breaker. Recommend breaker replacement ($125) vs Pool Light Replacement (575).
