We don't do any pool wiring so I haven't paid a whole lot of attention to the code changes, I was aware of the GFCI requirement some time back for the pump etc but I'm a bit confused by this statement in Mike Holt's latest newsletter

the wiring, including the equipment grounding for all 120V pool lights, needs to be disconnected at the panel or the light needs to be low voltage without an equipment grounding conductor


Are line voltage pool lights now forbidden, even existing ones?
