Thanks bro, I’m here trying to figure out how to replace this flashing bulb asap and he’s here bussing Jokes💀

[@triscuit5103]

I live alone and have a very lonely life, got nobody to help me, this video was very useful. Thank you.

[@mariusignat3180]

I live on my own and I'm not from the UK, so this came in very handy, thanks for your help. Might have skipped the first step...

[@V_Ben]

This video helped me realise I wasn’t installing my light bulbs correctly. Thank you!

[@sunalouw348]

Best tutorial out of the 5 I just watched! Thank you!

[@davidwarwick4777]

Thanks man! I’m the World’s worst DIYer and this was a cinch 👌

[@mscargill1]

Brilliant. Very helpful and clear. I have subscribed and liked. Hoping this will help me replace my dead light bulb in the bathroom tomorrow morning when I have the daylight to see what I am doing while the electricity is turned off. Thank you.

[@silvianorman-v8c]

I was so excited when I found this video but my one seems encased and it doesn’t pull out.

[@julianturner2249]

Very helpful, thank you. It’s simple when you know how. I didn’t want to break it in trying to fix it!

[@cdwg273]

My light was really stiff and I turned it but it wouldn't come out, I then stopped trying and it just fell out the socket with no effort. It has smashed all over my stove, beanbag and turkish rug. Thanks for the tutorial 10/10 the bulb is replaced and I found out that the answer to "how many cdawgs does it take to change a light bulb?" is none because the light bulb will just fall by itself and explode.

Thank you thank you thank you. This helped so much and I have just changed the 2 bulbs in my bathroom without having to run to a neighbour.

[@barneybouy8879]

So pleased this was of use to you. Thanks

[@busisiwecindi796]

You are the best..,I managed to fix in five minutes

[@barneybouy8879]

Great stuff

[@lg_believe333]

One of my bathroom halogen LED lights went out and when I switched it around with the other halogen LED light that was working it triggered my ICON airflow fan to stay on and I can’t turn it off unless I switch it off from the fuse box downstairs. So I bought two brand new LED lights but this time both lights come on but when I try turning them off they go dim and will not turn off with the fan. So I have to turn on/off the fuse box downstairs to activate my bathroom lights. I’m not sure if the new LED lights from Toolstation are cheaply made which is why they are doing this, or maybe it is the metal holders that the lights plug into, in my ceiling.

[@SuperShroomieGaming]

Any chance of a clearer shot of it going back in? Can get one side of the casing back in the can but not the other

[@battmar3859]

You are a life saver thank you so much

[@davidhotchkiss3798]

Bear in mind there are different types of fitting, and different types of bulb. I watched 3 videos to find one that worked for me. Sometimes you press and rotate the bulb, sometimes you pull it. Sometimes you rotate the inner besel, sometimes you pull out the whole fitting. It's misleading for each video to just say 'this is the way you do it'!

[@nprincess90]

Thank you because I almost tore the plaster off :)

[@espepalilio7844]

Thank you so much,this video help me a lot.

[@mobilegamer3230]

Where can I get the casing from, quite similar to yours?

[@DVDfeverGames]

I think I have a similar recessed socket, but I can't pull the casing surrounding the bulb down far enough. I only seem to be able to pull it down a couple of centimetres, so I only see that casing and am not able to see the bulb's connection into the socket. I don't want to tug it down too hard and risk breaking the ceiling that surrounds it. Do you have any tips, please?

[@Hysteria2003]

I’ve got the exact problem with mine. Were you able to replace yours?

[@DVDfeverGames]

@@Hysteria2003 I made a video about my tale of woes just recently, but in short, I did get the casing down of one (after asking my usual handyman to change them), and I saw he had done this with one of them, but after I'd made a bit of a mess (because the spring-loaded clips are stopping it from coming down further unless you force it), I realised I only have to unscrew the circular chrome casing. So, while I might need to pull it down slightly to access the chrome bit, that's all I need to unscrew. Barney's video doesn't have a big casing - I presume - because his are LED, so I think the big casing is to protect the halogen light transformer. Hope that helps, but take a quick look at my video and let me know what you think.

[@facundogoya]

Hello, in the United States do you use lamps with a gu10 socket? Could you explain what is appropriate? What lamps would you use to illuminate the interior of a hotel in the USA?

[@Jango1989]

Thanks! This is so useful. Even if it just confirmed that I was doing it right. It's so helpful to have that. Thank you. I really appreciate this.

[@zeldagoblin]

Barney, I have spring loaded recessed leds, ip65. Lecky left them popped out so I could paint the plaster, so I've had a look but can't see how you'd change the bulb. Can you help? It looks like an entire enclosed unit.

[@PVesey-yf9hc]

Simple - but brilliant. Thank you.

[@Narruut]

Am grateful 🙏🏻 thank you so much

[@joannawang8060]

Thank you, your vedio is very helpful, thank you very much!

[@lemonbade]

Is it possible to get LED versions of these lights to try to save energy?

[@tonyforsyth1029]

Looking to replace the mounts in my bathroom which are the same type as in this video. Any idea where I can get them? The only ones that seem to be available are mousetrap like spring clips.

[@Drive-byGuy]

Good, I have exactly such type of LEDs, glad that I found this vid, only too bad it play blurry even at 1080p. What did you film it with it, is it an iPhone?

[@lisadempsey]

Watch out because if the springs spring on your thumb or fingers, it is extremely painful! Great video, thanks.

[@dayhill9855]

I've just read your reply before doing it and it still effing got me, This video didn't help whatsoever, didn't explain how tough it can be and how painful and dangerous!

[@miceforlent]

Mine was held in by a bear trap too, but the video helped and I now have light to look at my sore finger by. 😢 & 😊

[@penfold0077]

Just found that out 😂😂😂

[@jacquelineturner-l8r]

How do I change a bulb in a kitchen light fixture, doesn't seem to want to come out

[@MrRawMonkey]

Most holders use strong springs to keep the holder firmly in place and can be a nightmare to get out.

[@jekylthorn8969]

I have spring mounted spots. Whenever I try to change the bulb the hole in the ceiling just crumbles and the light wont go back up. Help!!

[@ss123-r5n]

What are these called? The ones u can replace yourself

[@namoanantyogi9235]

What type of light and holder it is?

[@RJBSandC]

Thank you so much for an informative video!

[@ragingsilver]

Strange, the ones in my bathroom almost seemed completely sealed up. Got a piece of glass inbetween the GU10 bulb and housing unit. I've tried pulling the ring bit off but I can't.

[@Shusein]

My light the connector wire is too short, I can’t get the bulb out… what to do? How do I remove the black casing?

[@kinocchio]

When i try all pull it out it gets stuck .. there are some metal spring type things preventing it from coming out

[@cosmapereira3116]

Wonderful explanation thanks for making important video

[@barneybouy8879]

Pleased I could be of help. Please subscribe. Thanks

[@stephaniecorbett5356]

[@BabelColour]

The camera is too far away from what you are trying to demonstrate. You seem to have set the camera up to get you in the picture, but people want to see the the actual electrics rather than you - which isn't rude, merely a statement of fact! Try getting the camera closer to what you want to show us.

Led light bulbs are crap, they always blowing, rubbish. Old halogen lights are better, don, t blind you, are nice and easy on the eyes not overly bright that your squinting, led lights are a false lumen that are too bright for the human eye, they suck. Yeah your right I don, t like LED lights and always blowing and too expensive
