pool cabinet is located 20' from the pool, and has a low voltage transformer installed below it, feeding the pool lights.
1- is the XFMR considered an outdoor outlet requiring GFCI protection?
2- does the voltage of the secondary of the XFMR dictate that no GFCI protection is required?
 
That's a good question.
Taking into consideration the definition of an "outlet" and also taking into consideration the exception for "lighting outlets" in 210.8(F), I can see why LittleBill didn't answer :)
I also will await some of those more versed in the Code.
