I replaced my bulb and gasket on my Hayward Starlite 500 watt/120 volt light. I am having someone come to check the switch for me, as the light is still not working. A tangent to the story is that when I replaced the bulb & gasket & put it in about 2 weeks ago, I didn't notice till this week there was light in the fixture. I pulled it out Sunday, and saw that the gasket had twisted when I put it on the first time. I dried everything out, reset it (without any goop) and when I screwed it all together I made sure I could see the gasket peeking out around the perimeter of the outer frame.

With the old bulb, there was never any water in the fixture - the bulb blew and until an electrician can confirm it, I feel stringly I just have a switch issue since the pump and luight are both on the same GFCI fuse in the basement.

Hayward tech support tells me since there was water in the light the entire fixture has to be replaced. Is this them just trying to sell me a new one?
