Kitchen lights are already gu10 fittings. They will be replaced with new led fire rated equivalents. Similar lights will be added in the dining room for consistent look and feel. Everything is accessible from above and below by removing floorboards. No insulation in floor.

Thanks all. Bought https://www.screwfix.com/p/wolfcraft-wfc-5499000-gu10-lamp-removal-tool/6084k which despite some negative reviews works perfectly. Also job lot of https://www.screwfix.com/p/lap-0317782731-gu10-led-light-bulb-345lm-3-6w-50-pack/771pp Much prefer the white light to the...

sorry, just to make sure I fully understand would you suggest pulling the entire light fitting from the ceiling and then adding the light and put it all up together?

We've got a few rooms with downlights, and after a few years a number of the bulbs have gone. They are GU10 LED bulbs. I have removed the dead ones and sought direct replacements, but I am struggling to find them. In the kitchen and the bathroom I have 4.3w dimmable bulbs, although they are...

Thanks, what I don’t understand is how removing one 12v halogen caused both the GU5.3 and the GU10 bulbs not to work. All the other lights worked 100% fine. As soon as I replaced (blown) halogen, as said in my original post, both the GU10 and GU5.3 started flickering for a min or two and now...

You can get 35mm diameter lamps with a GU10 base, changing to those would just mean fitting a GU10 lampholder connected directly to 230V. Existing lampholder and transformer removed. Choice of lamps will be rather limited and they will probably cost far more than you want to pay, particularly...

i have an issue with my communal lights in a hallway in my house. There are 7 x 50w GU10 spotlights 240v . 2 days ago the lights went out and will not relight. This has not tripped any MCB`s or RCD (as it is a 17th edition consumer unit). There are 4 switches in total in the circuit. 2 x...

Get one of these & you won't need to remove it...

Could I just swap these out for GU10 fittings which are double insulated and therefore if a lamp goes in future I don't have to remove the fitting but the lamp itself. Or could buy 230v double insulated led fittings without transformers.

Not sure if this is a dumb question.. how do I remove the bulb from the pictured fitting? I think it should twist maybe but it seems completely solid. Thanks!

There seems some confusion, As said: one transformer/switched mode does not like LED's. And already said: The high street seems favor either 230v GU10's or 12v GU5.3's LED. So as I already had 12 - 12v MR16 GU5.3's Halogen's with transformers/switch modes and tried being clever to just change...

I appreciate this but am just wondering how to easily increase the hole size as a cut out won't have anything to centre itself on. The only way would be to do it manually or is there another way?

It was a while before I learnt this tip A GU10 lamp has the pins 10mm apart A GU4 has the pins 4mm apart Can you see where I'm going here? What can you deduce about a GU24? Edit removed the MR line due to crotchety replies.

I am trying to work out what you have done. It seems you have bought a GU10 lamp and removed the lamp holder and replaced it with the old G5.3 lamp connector. Now the GU10 actually holds the lamp in the holder but the G5.3 only makes the electrical connection and the lamp is held in place with a...

LAP? Yuck.

No, they are halogen ceiling burners, probably 50 watts each. Perhaps 35 if you are lucky. Equivalent LEDs are 3 or 4 watts. From the pictures they look like GU10s, which are twist to remove as advised above. Box of 50 here...

Out of honest interest how can one decide by looking at some GU10 halogen in two pictures and confirm that they are poor quality. every gU10 halogen that i have seen looks just like that to me!

The glass in the fitting protects you, the glass in the OP's hand (if Iggifer's correct) is the remnants of a defective GU10/MR16 lamp. They do very occasionally just fall to bits. Those fittings are almost impossible to do a lamp swap without (partly at least) removing them from the ceiling.

Just removed the central ceiling light and fitted 3 led down lights, but didn’t have any lamps to hand, so I fitted 3 old coloured led gu10 ones, now no dimmer fitted just a standard switch but the lights are dimly glowing when off

The above are good for DL wiring, hide in ceiling, note position on site records and remove GU10 (or other similar fitting) to access. The shape makes them easy to pull out of 'the hole' for inspection or remedial work.
