Change bulb in outdoor light...

[iron1899]

Hi any ideas how I can open the light fitting to replace the bulb? (I've already removed the metal cage)

Thanks

There's either a retaining screw(s) that needs removing or it twists off. Looks like there is a screw top leftish?

That is probably one of the retaining screws for the cage. Usually the cage holds the glass in. It may just prise off.

I had a similar a few years ago. Give the glass a sharp hit with the heel of your palm whilst holding the opposite side.
Mine had a rubber sealing ring on the inside, which helped make it weatherproof, but which had caused it to stick to the base.

If you've already removed the cage, the glass MAY just be stuck to fitting. There may be a rubber gasket that's making everything a bit sticky. Give it a gentle pull.

EDIT; this has already been said.

Bugger.
