I purchased a 120V 45W LED light off Amazon to replace the old light bulb which is also 120V which looks like a spotlight.
But can I change the lid and glass that face out to the pool but use the same cone?
It is very discolored now but maybe I can clean both with something before they put it back in tomorrow or Saturday?
Is this something I can pick up at Leslie's or Amazon?
The current brand is of lid or round cover for the light is PUREX.
The light fixture seems to be UNDERWRITERS LABORATORES INC. and super old, but the old light still worked.
Are these standard?

Purex lights have not been made for decades. You, likely, won't be able to find many replacement parts. The lens can be cleaned. Inyopools.com lists a new lens, but most importantly, they also show the lens gasket. You must replace that gasket or you will find the light fixture will leak and damage you new LED bulb. You would be better off getting a new fixture pulled in and replace the incandescent bulb with your LED.

Thank you. Not sure if I have enough time to find the gasket, but I will get the PB to open it up the fixture and see if I can get a similar gasket (rubber right) locally while they are doing the tile tomorrow hopefully.

Follow up. I was able to find a gasket at Leslies that matched perfectly. When I opened the light, there was a greenish blob of a mix of algae and maybe silicone? Gross, sticky blob of a mess. I tried to scrape most of it out of the can as best I could. Soaked, wiped down the glass and the ring, added the new LED bulb and I guess once the pool gets filled up, we will test it.
