Hello So I want to install hue lights in my lounge. I already had some integrated downlights which I have removed. I bought a GU10 downlight from tool station and bought some Philips HUE GU10 LED's. However, they seem to big to fit.. I thought that fact they are both GU10 they should just...

Hi all,ok i am trying to remove a gu10 bulb from an enclosed holder. The suction tool supplied turns it until slightly loose but not enough suction grip to extract the bulb. Is there a suction grip tool that has a stronger suction grip available. Thank you.

I have just replaced 24 halogen 50W GU10s with 7W GU10 LEDs. Currently the transformers from the previous halogens are still in place. I was planning on removing them as they are unnecessary, however I am curious as to their power consumption... does the presence of these 24 transformers...

GU10 bulb has blown, tried to remove it with the rubber sucker thing (its in a spotlight cowl, so cant get to the sides on it). The bulb turned but would not pull out, the lens came off. Any ideas / tips. I am at a friends house, whilst they are away, If it were my house, I think it would be a...

Hi. I've just removed the GU10 on the left and, on attempting to replace it with the GU10 on the right, I note that the original is a good 10mm longer ahan the new one. Of course the fitting is 100m deeper and I can't insert the bulb. If I did manage to insert the bulb, it would be so recessed...

I'm looking to replace bathroom and kitchen GU5.3 downlights. I had planned to remove the holders and transformers and replace with GU10s instead. But I've now seen that there are integrated units (such as...

Because of water damage I've had to replace a plaster ceiling. Before reboarding and replastering I removed the GU10 downlighters that were installed. The ceiling is now finished and decorated and all I have to do is replace the GU10 downlighters BUT the person who originally fitted them...

Hi, I have fitted 3x 50w GU10 lamps into a bathroom. Originally the room was bright, when just the GU10 bulb was hanging from the hole. I have now fitted the chrome/glass shroud and there is a significant reduction in light levels. When fitted to the downlighter, the bulb is approx...

My son has a four-lamp hall light fitting, with the GU10 light bulbs sitting flush with their housings. Using the correct bulb remover to twist out a dead bulb, the glass front came off, leaving the rest of the bulb in the fitting. Any ideas on the best way to remove what is left please?

I have in the bathroom GU10 spots, the fitting has glass on the front, so I have prised the fitting from the ceiling. The bulb is held in with a spring & there is a metal bracket stopping me pulling the bulb away from the glass. I cant seem to slid the bulb away from the spring, toi replace...

I would like to convert our kitchen R80 downlighting to GU10. I understand Screwfix sell kits but I’m not sure which one to get. Also I would like some advice on how to remove the R80 housing, if indeed I do. The diameter is 180mm.

I have a lot of GU10 halogen bulbs in my house and decided to replace them with Megaman GU10 11W bulbs as they were on sale for 6squid each from an internet retailer. They were advertised as direct replacements, but when I came to fitting them it became obvious they aren´t. They are about...

I've replaced three GU10 fittings like the one below without issue. It's been as simple as grabbing one or two of the lugs and twisting anticlockwise. The inside white ring then twists about a centimetre and then falls out from the middle ring. The light blub with then fall down slightly, and...

Hi I have 25 MR16 Aurora fire-rated downlights like these in a few downstairs rooms, installed by an electrician during building work 5 years ago. All wired via small black JBs and Aurora transformers. I'm converting them all from 50W halogens to 5W LEDs. I've had some false starts with...

A few years ago, I made the mistake of buying some GU10 lamp fittings a bit like these (although these look like the surrounds may unscrew giving access to the lamps, whereas mine do not). I can't find the actual models, probably because no-one is daft enough to buy them any more! The front of...

Hi, I am replacing halogen recessed lightbulb in bathroom of my apartment (no attic). I was able to remove metal retaining clip and coverglass but halogen lightbulb is blocked by black plastic ring and there is not enough room between bulb and fitting to remove it. I am not sure if bulb is gu5.3...

Hi, sons just moved into a new (to him) house. kitchen has 3 GU10 bulbs in light fitting, landing has 6 GU5.3 bulbs. All halogen. Only one of the six on the landing was working. I removed one of the others (which is how I found out they were GU5.3) and only two of the three GU10 in the...

Recently tried removing a dead halogen GU10 bulb from a recessed spotlight, I did the usual pushing in and turning but it was very difficult to get out and I forced it, so the whole bulb came out intact except for one of the bayonets, which is still stuck in the socket. The metal bayonet piece...

For 12V halogens, it's usually easier and cheaper to remove the old transformers and fit GU10 lampholders instead. Far more choice in GU10 LEDs.

I'd remove the driver and just use GU10 lamps. Drivers always seem to fail eventually. Will need Gu10 lampholders to replace what you have
