The pool leak sites recommend using a butyl rubber "tape" for this. It's also used for auto window installations. You can get it at Auto Zone for about $14. Even though the conduit is supposed to be sealed, it is a potential source of a leak.

Re: Pool Light Question
I really hate that putty. It is some nasty stuff. When replacing a light that has the putty in the jbox, I remove it and do not replace. The wire plugs are good if you remember to put it on before wiring up the new light. If not, I've also used Marine Epoxy to plug the hole around the wire. Also, as mentioned above, use butyl tape on the connections. I've run into a few that weren't up to code and flooded.
