There are three possibilities (that I can think of)
1) the bulb is not seated properly, and because of that, moisture can get into the light.
2) there is a crack in the housing, which would also allow moisture into the light.
3) The sealant between the bucket and the lens might have a gap or a hole in it, which would allow moisture into the light.
If you have some time, pull the light out, and take the bulb out, and put the light in the sun until all of the water evaporates out of it, and then try running down the list of pitiable things wrong with it. You could even take some soapy water and cover the seal with it, and blow on the light bulb hole and see if you are getting bubbles around the light anywhere.
