Need to replace my Jandy RGBW LED Lights

My pool is almost 10 years old. About 2 years ago my GF breaker would trip occasionally. I pulled both lights out and one of them looked to have a little moisture on the inside of the glass....fog really ...as when i opened it up it wasn't wet per se but i can imagine it was enough to trip a GF.
I dried it out really well, put everything back together and it worked for a while. About a year after it started doing the same thing so i simply removed the light wires from the relay and just had the one light turn on. Well over the last few weeks the other light has been acting up and im guessing that i need to replace both lights now.

Im pretty certain what I have is the Jandy RGBW Water color LED. Its the larger size ( there is a small and large..assuming the small is the 3rd light i have in my Spa). These are 120v.

Im wondering if i should just bite the bullet and order 2 new Jandy lights at near 1000 a piece or if i should look for other options. Ideally i'd like something that works with my Jandy pool controller. These are 120v. I believe they cycle through the colors by the system cycling power on and off to the light.

Anyone know of a good light out there that will fit in the existing light niche that will work the same as my Jandy but at a more economical price?
I've even thought of buying the standard incandecast light module and installing one of the 3rd party screw in light bulbs..but don't know enough to make a decision.

TIA

Updating my post.
I stumbled across a light from J&J. Sadly its not compatible with my version controller. According to the rep ( based on the light types i had available on my PDA) he said they would be compatible if i upgraded by board.
Im running a Jandy Controller and Jandy PDA. Any ideas what board on the Jandy Controller he is talking about?
"Your Jandy system will have Intellibrite when it is upgraded to the newer system. This happens when the exterior control board fails."
Might only coast a little more to upgrade the board and lights than simply replacing the lights with another Jandy Water Color.

Curious about replies.

I was just sent a quote for about $5,500 (it’s) to replace 2 pool lights and 1 spa light with Jandy RGBs. Seems absolutely ridiculous. Especially, for what amounts to a wear item.

Needless to say, the standard lights are looking even better. Or I’ll just replace them myself.
