Replacement of internal flush deckhead spotlights?

[Pyramid]

I have a Beneteau - circa 2001, fitted with flush mounted deck-head spotlights, throughout, one of which, in the main cabin, has failed. For the life of me I cannot see how to extract the thing!

Any suggestions?

I suspect others will start to fail periodically.

I have a small suction cup for those at home. Might similar work on your boat lights ?

If its the same as I've got, the outer lens should just prize off, leaving the main part of the fitting, inc. the bulb and reflector, in-situ. If you need to remove that as well, it is spring-loaded with two quite-strong metal springs that bear-down on the upper-side of the deckhead. I've never removed one without dropping the headlining panel, but I would think it could be done with a bit of patience (and luck...).

BTW they take 12V, 5W G4 bulbs with the 2 metal prongs.

One of mine failed because of the incoming connector that the prong connects to. It was repaired with a very small crimp filed-down to fit into the small hole.
