Can I fix a pool light that stopped working myself?

You can safely run the first checks: reset the gfci for the light circuit, and confirm any timer or automation is switching the light on. Anything involving wiring, gas, or a submerged fixture should go to a licensed La Jolla pro.

Does La Jolla water affect this?

La Jolla water is rated moderate at 10-12 gpg, so scale is less of a driver here than coastal air and normal wear.
