My panel has one breaker labeled for that. Sorry if yours doesn't. Old fashion way is to turn them off one at a time while someone watches the light. Modern way is to put a signal tracer in the light and use the detector to locate the correct breaker; but that equipment is not free.

Coach Lamp
I put Duct tape over the sensor causing the light to go on. Then went to breaker box and clicked breakers until the light went off. I pulled out the sensor and double checked the power using a cheap circuit tester. Then I proceeded to change my Coach Lamp. The breaker is usually at the bottom of the Breaker box with your sprinklers. Good Luck Len

I just replaced my light post and light fixture. To my surprise it was on the kitchen outlet circuit.

Ours is on the living room circuit.

Something sounds wrong here. The post light is supposed to be on a GFCI, and the living room will typically not have these. So just out of curiosity was the house always this way, or was this a resale that someone may have modified the wiring?
From a safety perspective be very careful around the post light, and do not use it for an outside outlet unless a GFCI is installed.
