My new pool light took on a little bit a water. Is this going to kill me?

You need to jump in first to find out.

No, but you should replace the circuit breaker with a penny if you don't want the light to go out.

Make sure you have a good GFI.

If so? No.

I've seen videos of kids being zapped when touching metal railings. One knocks the kid out. This was a public pool though. Don't know watts and amperage involved.

110 would ruin your afternoon. 220 would make your pool the device they kill chickens with i believe.

Thanks . I replace the bulb and gasket but I believe it's taking on water in the back of the fixture so I think I need to get a whole new one

Meaning? I thought all pool lights were molded so the light area could take water but would not infiltrate the wiring. Even those should be GFI protected, good to test said GFI weekly as they say.
