Hellamarine bicolour - changing bulb

[Blue Drifter]

Grateful for some assistance with this apparently simple task. I have a pulpit mounted Hellamarine bicolour that is not working, trying to get into it is proving difficult. Anyone know the technique, there is a button on the bottom of the unit which I can depress but cannot work out how to remove and gain access. Anyone able to help?

Many thanks

Push button then at the same time tilt ( hinge) the cover upwards I think.

You have to press the button REALLY hard and waggle the lens slightly.

As said, push the button HARD and tilt backwards - you may have to ease it with a screwdriver.

from the picture it looks like somebody put some waterpoofing sealant around the joins that may now be gluing it all together. These lights were never very watertight and the internal leccy bits corroded so someone might have attempted an 'improvement'

Thanks for the advice - for the record push button hard and lift the base of the lens fitting forward and up. It was a dud bulb, now replaced with suitable LED:
