Pool and Spa Lights

I have an electrical related to my pool lights. I have a pentair spa light that bulb needs to be changed. It is a 100W fixture, R20 medium base bulb. I would like to replace it with a colored bulb. I found a few R20 colored bulbs but all are about 2 cm longer than the bulb in there and don't fit. I would have thought all R20 bulbs would be the same size. Since I can't fins an appropriate size R20 could I put in a different bulb say a PAR20 medium base bulb equal to or less than 100W? Does the shape of the bulb matter or type of bulb?

Here is the spa bulb that is in there:
Replacement Pool Spa Bulb R20 100W 12V Flood Reflector R20CL100/12V

Can I replace it with something likethis?

Both your links are the same thing. Please post the corrected link.

You should be able to use any bulb you want as long as the socket is the right size, and the wattage is no more than the rated watts. In your case, 100 watts.
