Pool Lighting & Railings

I'm trying to wrap my head around pool lighting.

My #1 thought was to go to 12volt lighting, to replace the 20 year old lights. Now I'm finding out you need to change the housing, and hire a pool company to install the housing, & cement / marble dust the new housing into position. Big $$$$

My #2 thought is to leave the existing old lighting in place. Disconnect all the wiring in the pool junction box. Tie the hot, neutral & ground together for each cord, and simply electrically disconnect all the lighting. I still don't like the fact the housing is metal, but I figure it's better than being connected.

Next topic: We are considering adding railings to the in-ground pool. Stainless steel of course. Do they need to be bonded / grounded ?? Do they make plastic railings????

Thank you

now I go back to my residential / light commercial for the work day :)
