Word! Early in my career, I have learned, a person who with a journeyman's card means that they supposedly met the time in service and passed a written test. This dont make them electricians.
I coach the engineers in my department to pass the ICC inspector's test and they do on their first try. The tests are simular. Time in service is just letter(s) stating they met the time in service from employers. Someone on this board made a post of, are you an Electrian or an installer. Very good philosiphy. A license does not make you an electrician. Your pears do by proving to them you are one.

Wait... line voltage pool lights are allowed in the US???
Pool lighting has been PELV here in Europe for ages, probably since it became popular!

I agree with sparkyinak: a license does not make a person a capable electrician, no more than a drivers license makes a person a safe driver. Almost anyone can pass a test given enough tries, especially an OPEN BOOK test!

Yeah Tex, you can use 120v lights in a pool but they need to be GFCI protected.

There are times (to numerous, sadly) that I'm amazed at the lack of workmanship & common sense by some in the trade.
Book smart is one thing, but....
