Ceiling Lights

[Bramleyboy]

Are there any tricks to changing the GU10 bulbs in ceiling lights? I find them a nightmare and each one takes ages trying to line up the pins. I'm sure electricians must have an answer!!
Many thanks in anticipation for an easier life.

Is there anything that doesn't have a Youtube video showing you how to do it?

These things are designed by people who never have to fit them, Bramley. The worst ones to get out are those with a suction cup supplied. It does work ........... until you try to get the cup off.

I'm afraid there is no easy answer to fitting a bulb back in. I just look at the fitting and note the orientation of the two holes. Then, line the bulb up in the same way ........... then faff about ;o(

On a good day, it goes in first time ;o)

While we're having a rant......... one of the things hate most is fitting the lights in the first place. There are never enough terminals, or space for other cables. Invariably, this means shoving junction boxes/enclosures up in the ceiling void.
