Have you changed the bulb in a picture light like this?

I have taken the photo from underneath, looking towards the ceiling.

I think the channels that the bulbs are in are too small to get my fingers into, but am I missing a trick? They are little halogen bulbs that will pull straight out if I can get purchase on them.

Do I need to unscrew the tiny screws and remove the brass arms? I can’t see what a sort of screws they are, but smaller than any of my screwdrivers anyway, so I’ll need new ones.

Have you tried pliers to rotate the bulbs / pull them out? It’s possible to use the tiny screwdrivers you need in glasses on some of these lightsz

You may be able to get little plastic tweezers made to fit the bulbs and pull them out. Something similar is used in cars.

There's a faint chance a specialist lighting shop will know.

Have you got a spare bulb for identification?
