Underwater light leakage detection apparatus

The method of detecting a water leak in a region of a light fixture mounted on a wall surface of a swimming pool, said light fixture being mounted on said wall surface in a location submerged below the surface of the water in said swimming pool, comprising the following steps:

• providing a housing and a leakage detection tube attached to said housing, said leakage detection tube having a distal free end, said leakage detection tube being in fluid communication with the interior of said housing,
• immersing said housing into said swimming pool water such that said housing is affixed in position over said light fixture of said swimming pool submerged below the surface of said water,
• positioning said distal free end of said leak detection tube below said surface of the water in said pool,
• inserting a dye into said distal free end of said leak detection tube while said distal free end of said leak detection tube is positioned below said surface of said water in said pool, and
• observing the movement of said dye in said leak detection tube distal free end from a position above said surface of said water in said swimming pool.
