Default Replace underwater pool light bulb- Safe ?

A whole new fixture here in AZ is only around $250.00 - $300.00.

The 'reamed out screw head" turned out to be a
perfectly good ss hex/allen key bolt. The whole unit is held
on with 2 tabs at the bottom and the one hex screw at the top.

The bulb is low voltage - cant read it but its 2 digits and the first
is a 1 so its probably 12 volts, and it looks like 100 watts.
The gasket had failed and the enclosure was full of water.

The whole fixture is very primitive and looks like it was
designed about 50 years ago. I might upgrade the whole
thing depending on the cost.

Thanks to all.
