OK I know I'm going to look like an idiot for asking this...but how on earth do you change a halogen spotlight bulb when it has a clip thingy on it??

Erm, never done it before . I need light on the situation

Oh bumping for you as I couldn't work it out and although I know now I am crap at explaining things

NB DON'T try to kind of gouge round it with a screwdriver . I did that then worked out after a bit of ceiling came out how to properly release the clips.

hehe was about to get some kind of tool. Thanks OPOBS

I hope you get better advice soon.

Oh and whatever you do make sure to turn off the electric first (just saying...)

bump

is the clip thingie a piece of wire that goes about 3/4 way round the cirle? Just squeeze the wire and it comes out, then the bulb falls down (still attached to the wire) and you can change it. Had to do it last week - though hadn't then got a replacement, so currently have a bare wire hanging down

ooh thanks CS - much appreciated. Will give it a go!
