The forecabin port and starboard berth reading lights, on the bendy concertina stalks, are running dimmer than usual, on both the white light and red light settings.

Has anyone come across this?  Does it mean the LED bulbs need replaced and if so, how do you access the bulbs for replacement?  I have tried unscrewing the metal bulb casing unit, to no avail.

Thank you!

I wonder if you found a solution to this?  I have experienced something similar on some (but not all) of the reading lights and the lights in the engine and cockpit locker don't seem to be working either.
Next time I am on the boat I will swap one of the working lights with the non-working light to determine if the fault lies in the light itself or the wiring.

I have not found any dimming of these lights so far but I do find that the casing gets quite hot. Any thoughts on whether this is something that is normal for this design?
