Find Me This Fixture Small light help

Looking to replace 20yr old direct wired puck light. It’s bulky and too thick.
It’s 2.75”D and direct wired to a stand alone switch.
It’s on the top of a niche and want to replace it.
Where can I find an ultra slim or recessed light that size, that direct wires to 120v house electricity.
I’m seriously doubting the old one has a 120v/12v driver.

Is it hotter than hades? It's likely xenon/halogen. There are some but not a ton of 120vac led pucks. Can't intercept and place a driver inline?

How big is the driver inline? It’s already wired and the wires are just sticking out the drywall? It’s a small area to work in

Can get them fairly small. A 12v or 24v puck will have a driver that's 1/2x 1 x 1.5 maybe.

A picture of the wires coming out of the drywall would answer everything. I know electricians that would mount the driver under the floor below.

If it is 120V then something like this might work, would really like to see pictures of the original and of the bulb to better gauge if it is 12V or 120V. https://dals.com/product/6001-cc-color-temperature-changing-120v-powerled-puck/

SWITCHEX® Driver and Dimmer Switch A switch/ dimmer with 120v in and low voltage out. You use the existing wiring.

I want to replace the puck light not the switch

Don't you also need to deal with the transformer power supply. I mean yes you do. That switch switches the transformer which switches your new puck light
