Upgrading Obsolete Anthony lights as a beginner

Hi!
I'm looking to upgrade my over 30 year-old Anthony pool lights while we are finishing a replaster.
I've pulled out the fixtures and taken photos but there isn't much in the way of model numbers visible to me. I believe they are 120v fixtures.

Can I replace the bulbs in these bulbs, or if not the entire housing with a color change LED?
Where can I find a gasket to replace the old one, I'm sure if I disassemble this it will not go together again.

There is 1 large light in the deep and 1 smaller one in the shallow end. I did not open them as they still work somewhat and I don't want to risk the gasket not sealing.
Photos attached of the 2 lights.
I also have to upgrade the breaker to GFCI when my electrician comes around.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Smaller light is a Pentair SpaBright. Many options for bulbs and gasket. Anthony light is obsolete. A standard or LED bulb will fit. Gasket can be found here:
Would be better to get the GFCI in the light circuit before upgrading much. Even a bad cord can trip them and the whole assembly has to be replaced.

The Anthony light is, I believe, the same diameter as a Pentair Amerilite, the "standard" pool fixture. This part can be installed with a replaster:

Or an Aladdin light-ring adapter installed afterward and an Amerilite installed. The mounting screws must be bent inward after installation so the fixture will fit:

Thanks so much for the details and specifics!!!

I’m going to probably have to leave the current finishes as the plaster is being finished today (after delays) and they do work for now, but I will look into these and get it done either at season’s end or when they die.

Much appreciated!!
