What to do when the light bulb falls inside the lighthouse?

We can try with a vacuum cleaner at maximum power, or with a magnet - but in this case it is not guaranteed to work, because the metal inside the bulb is very little - and also we have to see how the bulb has fallen inside the headlight, because depending on its position, the magnet may not be able to retrieve it.
