En suite light over shower.

[Skyedriver]

We've a light unit over the shower and the bulb seems to have dimmed a little and is now flashing too.
Tried removing it in the same way as a GU10, push & turn, but while it has some spring it doesn't want to break free.
Before I inadvertently break something how do I remove it and is it a special bulb due to location?
May be able to access from above.
Thanks in advance

A photo might help.

As it is over a shower, it should be low voltage, which means it is almost certainly LED, lots of them do not have a bulb, they are a sealed unit.

Our ensuite has 12v downlights that look remarkably similar to the twist fit GU10 bulbs, but are push fit (2 prongs) MR16 bulbs. On ours, you twist off the retaining ring as normal and pull the bulb down, but then you just pull it out rather than twist it.

The photo I took this morning to accompany this question but forgot to attach it. And they let me loose with tools,

How many PHers will it take to change a lightbulb...?

12v on two pins. It'll pull straight out.

Is it one of these fans with integrated light?

If so it says they can supply replacement lamps and presumably advise how to do it!

It does look very similar, I'll get onto them on Monday morning.

The definition for Low Voltage (LV) according to UK wiring regulations could cause confusion here...

Low Voltage (LV): Between 50V and 1000V AC or between 120V and 1500V DC. This is the range for most common electrical appliances, sockets, and lighting in homes and businesses.

Many 230V/240V mains voltage downlight lighting fixtures are IP65 rated and are suitable for installation in shower zone 1 and shower zone 2.
