To disconnect the light from the power source without finding the breaker, hit the test button on the gfci plug below it. That will trip the gfci and make the light safe to handle. I would go as far as to remove both the black and white wires that supply power to the fixture from the marettes and the equipment wires to the light. After the wires are moved a safe distance from any metal surface (and only if you feel 100% comfortable!!!) hit the reset button on the gfci and take a multimeter AC voltage reading. You should see voltage in the 118-122 ish range. If that is the case, hit test on the gfci again and redo the splices.
