how to change a 12v globe STUCK in a twist style fitting. A few different ways in 1 video
This is a raw, un-cut video of how i try to change a 12v globe in a twist style downlight fitting when its stuck and just wont come out. This may help you, but wont help everyone. There are a few other ways I've put up you can try too. Paint usually sticks the fittings and makes it hard to do. ALWAYS turn OFF the electricity at the switch. TURN OFF THE POWER. and let the globe cool down first. These ways wont work for everyone, but may work for some people. Be careful when pushing up the globe, it will only go up a little way, and if you smash it it may cut your fingers, but i haven't smashed a globe or cut my fingers in 15 yrs so just be careful and you should be fine. If you feel unsure...

How to change a 12V down light globe in a older cir-clip / metal ring holding in globe type fitting , which is in some old houses/ buildings in Australia .If unsure at any stage , please use a licensed electrician . ALWAYS make sure the switch is turned OFF, the fitting has cooled down and proper safety precautions are taken. Never work with the Electricity on . Find out more about me on Spotif...
Great tips fellas. Thx
Thank you
Love that , bash the crap of it 😂l
Thanks, very straightforward
Thank you
Thanks Luke! 11 years later, but in an older house now.
Thanks for this video - really helped me. For one of my downlights I did have to go the final stage of "bash the crap out of it". But hey, it worked!
Thank you so much...cheers!
Power off first folks, before you go jabbing your butter knife around. Then you can bash the crap out of it, to use the official name for the technique.
When did light fittings become so complicated and potentially dangerous just to change a darned bulb? Give me the old tungsten bayonets any day.
Solid finishing , hahaha love it!
Thank you! Worked great and have me confidence to wiggle things around (terrified of breaking things!)
Got mine out with help from your video, thanks!
Wish you were closer. Having this exact problem and nothing works.
Sometimes the heat from the bulb can heat the paint and cause the parts to stick together. Especially if someone has painted over it before. Otherwise it may be another style of fitting, that only looks similar. A licenced electrician will be able to sort it out !
@@24HOURELECTRICIAN I think I will have to get someone to look at it.
Helpful thanks 🙏
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
Happy to help 👍👍
Wow, thank you for your clarity, generosity is replying so swiftly. You are a good teacher of mechanical things. With gratitude
Happy I could help you.
Ok. Do I close and insert the metal ring first, before I put the bulb in? Signed: Thick as a brick
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.
Must hv deleted yr answer. LT bulb just like yours, metal ring like two large parenthesis marks that do not meet bent at the ends. How do I install, must lt bulb be removed first it is dangling from ceiling hole
Unsure without seeing it. This video shows how to do it with this style of downlight fitting, with this style of metal ring. The bulb must be up in the light fitting first, then while holding it up with 1 finger, so the bulb doesnt fall down, you need to insert the metal ring with your other hand. The circular metal ring, when out of the fitting, will have a gap because it opens up( as its usually under pressure when its inside the fitting). You need to close the gap in the metal ring for it to fit into the fitting, below the bulb, then it works by putting pressure on the fitting, and holds in place. I put in one side of the metal ring, first, so it it pushing up against the bulb, then push the other side of the ring, into the fitting, and push the rest into place. The metal ring gap must be held together to be able to fit . You could use 'cir-clip pliers' which are a specially tool, but 9/10 you can just hold the metal ring together and slide it in. I hope this answers your question, but it's hard to explain as there are many metal ring styles.

Top banana. Most my bulbs have blown and I didnt know how to replace them. Glad I found this video
Brilliant. Worked perfectly 👍🏼
Very helpful. Thank you 👍
The only problem for me is that THEY CAN'T BE PLUGGED IN
"Before you attempt removal of the light bulb"🧑⚖️
Thanks for this. Very helpful.
Love it
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?
You're the man !! Thanks from Portugal
Thanks 😊
Thank you so much for nice explanation! I had to change light bulbs alone and I had no idea to do it!
thank you!!! very much.
Excellent instruction.

So great and helpful!! Thank you!!
Thanks for this video! Finally figured out how to replace these bulbs in my kitchen
Thanks so much, I literally need to change 3 led's exactly alike. God bless you
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☺
Nicely done & well explained. Certainly made my day more fun! Merci.
This video finally gave me the know how I needed, thank you so much!!

Thank you!!! You saved my life🙌🏻
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.
