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...

    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.

      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 !

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

    • @24HOURELECTRICIAN
      @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.

    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

    • @24HOURELECTRICIAN
      @24HOURELECTRICIAN Год назад

      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.

    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.
