DIY HELP with changing recessed spotlight!!!

0 replies

OrangesandLemons88 · 30/08/2018 14:05

I have just moved to a new flat with recessed spotlights. Went to change one today and it doesn't look like any recessed bulb I've had in the past. The bulb appears to be attached to the wires rather than the usual GU10 spotlight fitting with the two prongs which is what I have always had in the past. (I think they might be quite old).

I attach a photo here. The white plastic end bit looks like it should unscrew from the glass bulb, but it doesn't and it is definitely glued to / part of the bulb. The bulb has writing on it saying "key lamp CCFL".

It looks like I need to disconnect the black wires somehow...???

Anyone got any clue how to change these and what I need to buy to replace them with?

Thanks in advance
