I have a gfci inside my Hayward panel the lights run through. None of my breakers have it either.

During the recent sale of my home with a pool, the two inspectors mentioned that a GFCI breaker was required. I think I found via the google machine that if the light is 12v or below it isn't required. Not really wanting to start a pissing match, I went ahead and spent almost $100 bucks on the replacement breaker....

Okay, after reading comments (including this one) I forgot about the outlet on the side of my panel which is indeed a GFCI outlet. The conduit drops directly below this outlet to another mechanical switch for the light. Without taking the panel apart to confirm, I bet the 120v to the GFCI outlet feeds the light switch. When I change the bulb I will trip the GFCI and see what happens to the light.

Thanks, all.
