Does anyone know what type of lighting this is?

I moved into my first home recently. The hallway has a suspended light fixture - and I quickly noticed some lights worked and others didn't. Unfortunately they have all gone out!

They seem to be hooked up to the ceiling to I'm confused about how to replace this. I managed to get inside one and unscrew the tiny bulb but again no clue what it is called. Any help?

Ps. Don't mention the ceiling dust please Grin

G4 -assuming one of the pins has been pulled out?

I can see it’s snapped off, they sell them loads of places. Sainsbury’s, Amazon, even next sell them.

Take the broken one to B&Q for comparison.
There’s a few G type bulbs.

Get the LED equivalent if you can.

Oh thank you! I would've had no idea although I suppose I could've take one to a shop if need be.

@Insanegotnobrain one pin snapped very easily even though I was being so careful. I couldn't easily tell if the pin was part of the fixture or the bulb - but seems to be the bulb and therefore easier to replace?
