Why would pool lights stop working?
Hear this out loudPauseObviously, there could be a number of reasons for your pool lights to not be working such as a burned out pool light bulb, water inside the fixture, bad GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) just to name a few. All of these issues should be inspected and diagnosed by a qualified repair technician.
What happens if both pool and spa lights are out?
I want to preface this by saying if you have a spa and pool light, but only ONE of them is working, this most likely will not work.

What to do if your swimming pool light is tripped?
If the circuit breaker is tripped, turn off the light to the pool and try turning on the circuit breaker. If it trips immediately, you have a short circuit, in which case you need to get an electrician to correct this problem. If the circuit breaker is not tripped, you can now proceed to check the GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).

What happens if there is no tripped breaker on pool light?
But if there is no tripped breaker, you can proceed to check the next item on your pool light troubleshooting list: the GFCI. The GFCI, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, is an especially sensitive circuit breaker. It will trip, or shut itself off, if it detects even a tiny electrical current going to the ground.
