Please help - I can't change the bloomin' light bulb!

[MissDoingItHerself]

I've recently bought my first home and didn't realise the bulbs started blowing just how many down lights there are - in the hall, the kitchen, the living room, and even the bathroom.

I believe that this is the brand of light that I have:

I have managed to replace two of the bulbs, but can't undo the bezel on the other lights. My fingers are sore from trying to turn the bezel but I'm wondering if there is some sort of tool I could purchase that would be able to grip the bezel?

Any thoughts... Really appreciate any help!! Thanks

You (or the previous owners) could well have fitted the wrong lamps, which will overheat and fail prematurely.

On the fittings you have managed to replace the lamps on, is there any sticker or other indication as to the type of lamp required for the fitting?

There is no tool to remove the bezel. It's not the outer bezel but the inner ring you need to remove. Usually, they twist anticlock and then it drops down.

Your lamps should be aluminium reflector lamps, not dichroics.
