This was so so helpful! Had a bulb flashing at us for weeks with no idea how to change it! Thanks so much!!!

@anichodron7915 Год назад

Luke, just want to thank you for you simple, precise instructions which i followed and put the metal ceiling light rings into bathroom ceiling by myself. With gratitude, for your generosity

@24HOURELECTRICIAN Год назад

Happy to help 👍👍

Wow - what a lovely thing to do, to help all these people with their little problems (that seem like big problems to those of us who don't know). I'm very grateful to you as I faced a scary night at home with just lamps and torches for light. Thank you so much.

@julieroberts2110 5 лет назад

Thank you so much. First method wouldn’t budge the sucker. Second method worked a treat. Really helpful and clear instructions that worked. Now I am off to the dreaded Bunnings on a Sunday with the dead bulb in hand.

@jieunbae1129 3 года назад

Thank you so much for nice explanation! I had to change light bulbs alone and I had no idea to do it!

@jamesgavigan4179 3 года назад

Thank you for the help. I was clueless until this guy advised me

@MzJenx0r 10 лет назад

Thank you, thank you, thank you! As someone who is only used to changing your normal screw in light bulb the halogen lights were so confusing! (didn't know I had to pull it out like that haha)

@balmedout1 6 лет назад

thanks from Canada- my problem was putting it back as my ring has an additional 3 prongs, but son-in-law came to my rescue.

@KP-mb9jx 9 лет назад

Thank you for taking the time to share this. I now feel confident enough to do it myself.

@commonlawq1761 Год назад

Top banana. Most my bulbs have blown and I didnt know how to replace them. Glad I found this video

@jon6467 3 года назад

Lots of help. Only difference was the bulb I'm replacing was stuck in the hole and required a gentle downward tug. Thankfully I didn't force the bulb and made a mess of things☺

@GuthrieWatson 8 лет назад

Thanks for sharing I had a different light but your video gave me an idea of how to get the 'spring' wire holding the bulb in place out using a screw driver.

@y2julio226 3 года назад

Thanks for this video! Finally figured out how to replace these bulbs in my kitchen

@shannonh6855 5 лет назад

@timr4416 5 лет назад

I always thought that the 'surclip' needed to wrap around the lip of the bulb itself before being pryed back into the fitting. No wonder it always seemed like Mission Impossible! Thanks!

@DesmondNgBC 10 лет назад

do you have a video to show how to switch from fluorescent to halogen?

@pegsbarton6353 7 лет назад

thank you for your wonderfully clear instructions! Can I ask if it is possible to change the rims of these down lighters without removing/replacing the whole light? I have white surrounds and would like to swap them for chrome/silver coloured ones. Thank you.

@PrincessGold1 9 месяцев назад

You can paint them silver.

@bozomonster 7 лет назад

@TassieEV 2 года назад

I'm renting and there is no glass in the one I have as I have touched the tiny bulb thinking that was what was to be changed would this be the same type as you mention in your video?

@BrokenRomantic 10 лет назад

Are there any other types of downlights? Mine looks most like this one but it doesn't have the metal ring.

@Hotcube2 3 года назад

@StevenAzari 5 лет назад

@peddiegeneral 8 лет назад

Mate i have one of these but when i get rid of the little rim the bulb inside doesn't pop down, thoughts?

@majorasyamask7124 6 лет назад

Having the same problem. Did you ever figure it out?

@stefanilie1606 5 лет назад

You have to gently press the bulb and rotate it to the right or left wichever way it allows you not much just a little bit and it will come of

@spiritualphilosophy4170 7 лет назад

Do you know where to buy a replacement of the metal ring that keeps the light from falling out? - Ours has been misplaced!

@titchmoynihan4722 6 лет назад

You cant. You need to buy the whole fitting. Typical capitalist trick

@OBIFLY14 4 года назад

If you old bulb is dead, you don't have to wait for the housing to cool down. Just turn off the switch and replace it already.

@myopicthunder 3 года назад

@srprice2383 7 лет назад

But they've got glass across them in the bathroom. I can't do that.

@thestar4397 6 лет назад

I think people watching this video had lost that clip that keeps the light in place

@anichodron7915 Год назад

Ok. Do I close and insert the metal ring first, before I put the bulb in? Signed: Thick as a brick

@24HOURELECTRICIAN Год назад

The metal ring must be below the bulb. The metal ring is what stops the bulb from falling down. The bulb must be put in first, then you must put in the metal ring, against the bulb, to prevent the bulb from falling out.
