Hi everyone, I'm a basic DIYer and claim to be nothing more than that so please bear with me! I leave anything to do with electrics (apart from changing lightbulbs and wiring plugs) to the professionals! I've inherited a situation where I've got a load of GU10 down/spotlights which have...

Thanks. Does your EDIT invalidate the 'sucker' requirement? i.e. is the sucker for removing the whole unit, but this may not be required if I manage to remove the lens?

Bad move. When one fails you will not be able to find a matching replacement. Much better to get fittings with replaceable GU10 lamps.

Sorry didn't mean to confuse, previous bulbs were 12 v gu5.3 50w with individual transformer. New bulbs are British electric lamps 6w pro halo LED GU10 New dimmer - not sure of make - part no is KDM 250pl Transformer removed. Lamp info online states no driver reqd All components suggested by and...

Indeed. As I said, if that worked it would presumably be by far the simplest (and probably cheapest) approach. I hope all goes well. Kind Regards, John

i.e. a big 'IF'. Basically, sadders, unless you know that the luminaire was designed to be used at either 230V or 12V, depending on the type of lampholder fitted, the only safe thing to do is to swap the whole unit.

Sorry if I have introduced confusion! That may be true, but there are plenty of the latter around (MR16). You could - but, as I said, there are plenty of 12v GU5.3 LEDs around, and if you used them you could presumably retain the holders, and possibly also the transformers? Do you mean the...

Far better to dispose of the drivers, fit GU10 holders and mains voltage LEDs instead. No reason for that, with a moderate amount of care they can be removed without damage to the ceiling.

Assuming you have the correct part number... I know nothing of the product but they are supplied without bulbs according to the 3 sites i clicked on selling them. They use GU10 bulbs so yes less than ¼ turn anticlockwise and drop out...

Yes removed chrome fitting but this didn't give much more room to see anything more, tried camera can't get mine thru hole. will try mirror and light .... thanks for the suggestions. Above the kitchen is the upstairs landing, carpetted but you can quite clearly feel a few wobbly...

Diffusers or pearl glass can help to spread the light, but the LED often has a flat plate inside so be it a GU10, candle, or golf ball bulb the inside is the same, a flat plate with surface mounted components designed to remove the heat from the LED chips. Yes I know in the latter years of the...

Wow, 300 watts for a bathroom. Glad I don't have to pay your electricity bills.

It looks like a 230V GU10 lamp, But yuou still need to separate the front bezel from the lamp housing to get at the lamp. Its usually a small turn, ir a prise with a screwdriver. Usually you should not need to remove the whole fitting from the ceiling. PS That's horrible wiring...

Isolate power, remove lamp and fitting, and check if there's any adjustment that can be made to lower the lamp.

GU10 rather than surface spots ? If so there's a couple of methods. Best one is to feed the light cct TE(s) into the light switch back box and with block connectors have a mirror image of the ceiling rose terminations. Switch wires will be easy! Alternatively use a jb adjacent to one of...

Forget about separate transformers. The choice of LED lamps is far smaller, and you will still have the problems of the useless lampholders failing. Those are options, if you want to replace the entire fitting. This style...

Hi all, I just moved into a property which has 5 dead spot lights in the ceiling. I did what any useless DIYer did and watched a YouTube and thought that looks easy enough so I removed the bulb expecting the unit to fall like all the YouTube videos, making it nice and easy…. it didn’t. Does...

I wasn't around yesterday so just picking this up. So on the 2 lamps where the bulbs keep on failing, it's likely to be the current transformers that's causing it? If I get one of these and replace the existing transformer, I would be able to start using LED GU5.3 MR16 lamps? (I was able to...

Running a 2gang varilight 2x400 model. 1st circuit has 4x50w gu10s and runs fine. 2nd circuit had 8x50x gu10s and works fine most of the time. On occasion (can be days or a week) when either pressing the button or using the remote to trun on the lights they will automatically dim, if I then...
