Great article.I have the same lights - hard to get the lenses out carefully. I didn't like the color or intensity of the Marinebeam lights and went with a replacement LED light that has a single CREE LED, and it looks the closest I've seen to nice warm light. I didn't like the light from the original halogens either - they were too harsh over the main table. Wrote some about it here: https://sailbits.com/projects/halogen-light-replacement-cree-leds/
I am attaching a picture.Pictures are always a good idea to make sure we are talking about the same model of lights.
