Morning. One of the bulbs in the bathroom lights went last night so looking at it this morning and puzzled about getting that bulb out.

It looks a sealed unit with no easily identifiable way to release or unscrew the bulb.

Posting a picture and a plea for any ideas.

They don't all come off the same. Options are a quarter turn anti-clockwise of bezel from can.
Or they do sometime just push on, so they need pulling away (flat head screwdriver between bezel and can, then prise away gently)
 
The bezel should twist off. However as it appears to be a Click Flameguard there is every possibility that it is permanently seized together and will never separate again.
 
Thanks..Well it wouldn't twist but a screwdriver and some less than gentle leverage popped the bezel off. Bulb replaced and back together.

To change a lamp, you should not need to remove the fitting from the ceiling.
As you (now) know there is nothing to be gained from doing so.
