Just pulled out the down light fitting and it appears to be pretty much the same thing as the other light but in a spring rather than screw-in enclosure (thanks @Spooky_head for the video!); this one doesn’t say MR11 on the bulb it but also appears to be a GU4 fitting? Are there any downsides to just pulling out the halogen bulb and plugging in an LED one? Seems overkill to rewire if I don’t have to (though not averse to it if preferable of course).
Also, how do I avoid damaging the plaster in the ceiling if I’m pulling the spring fitting out - the spring arm catches on the edge and I’ve not got enough leverage at the pivot until I pull it slightly out..
