But sadly you do bother wasting your time coming up with the incorrect rubbish in the first place.

you can't lever it out, you may need to purchase a special remover, like these ones here. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-X-LIGHT-BULB-LAMP-SUCKER-REMOVAL-TOOL-LED-GU10-MR16-12V-/130927794755 Basically the suck onto the surface of the lamp and you can pull it out. You can try your local...

Sounds fair enough, but the regular 4X MR16 that were removed just seconds before fired up no bother? I think the transformers have a soft start in them, would that cause problems?

I had a full rewire and the electrician removed the MR16 12V IP65 downlights from the bathroom and replaced them with fireproof 240V ones. The problem is these, although LEDs, they are hard wired to a junction box in the loft and have no replacement bulbs. So does that mean that when the LEDs...

First of all thank you very much for you help in the past. This problem involves a en-suite shower room in a 16 year old house ... we have only had the house for 2 years. At some point 3 modern flush fitting MR16 halogen lights were fitted and a forth one in the centre of the ventilation fan...

I switched MR16's to GU10 led's by removing the transformer and adding very cheap lampholders from screwfix that have held up well and were straightforward to fit: Luceco GU10 / GZ10 Lampholder | Light Fittings | Screwfix.com Blup

Once you get that steel tray out with the lamp-sockets on, You can then remove the individual sockets and replace them.... Here you go-- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MR16-GU5-3-SOCKET-LED-BULB-HALOGEN-LAMP-LIGHTS-HOLDER-12V-BASE-WIRE-CONNECTOR-/121455605744?var=&hash=item1c475177f0

Hi all... I have an IKEA Magnesium light fitting with 5 MR16 12v 20W bulbs in and have just bought GU5.3 85-240V 5w smart bulbs for it. Bulb instructions say.. For 12v systems remove the transformer. Can i just remove the transformer? Will the extra volts overload/melt/burn the bulb track...

No such thing as an MR 16 lamp holder. What you show is G5.3 lamp holder. MR16 lamps can come with all types of lampholder. There is no requirement and never has been for 12 volt lamps in a bathroom. Where did you get that idea from? To change to GU10 get a sparks to remove the 12v power...

Mr16 has nothing to do with the lampholder thats the lamp size If its 12 volt its usually a G5.3 which is a lampholder with 2 holes 5.3mm apart then it will be connected to a tranformer If 240 volt often a GU10 lampholder then its connected to mains voltage Either way there is...

We have completely gutted our ensuite, At the moment there are 4 mr16 12v 50w downlights dangling down. These need replacing as, at some point whilst removing ceiling for renovations, some of the lighting fixtures were taken off and have been lost in the rubble. I would like to replace these...

The only reason I have g5.3 12 volt spots in my bathroom is I am lazy and have not wanted to fill the holes which will be left after removing the pods, they were MR16 but I suppose since the LED version does not have a multi facilitated reflector and has cooling fins so does not cover the 16/8"...

I have bought Bathroom rated GU10 mains voltage downlighters to replace the mr16 low voltage downlighters. Is replacing them as easy as this: 1:Remove current LV downlighter unit and transformer by disconnecting from junction box 2:Wire new Mains voltage downlighter unit directly to...

You want a lamp sucker, http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/GURS.html. Depending on lamp type, it could be a quater turn for GU10 or a direct pull out if MR16. Edit: Looking at your picture the glass lens could either require a twist to release it, or could be sprung fixed and requires...

Irreverent? What was the point of wittering on about MR16 versus G5.3 bases when the OP is removing them and throwing them away!!. Just another example of you just airing another of your hobby horses and not adding a grain of benefit to the topic.

Why was it unhelpful? It was clear the OP did not know what MR16 meant. What is so wrong with correcting mistakes?

As said GU10 are MR16 lamps, MR16 refers to the reflector size and type, and has nothing to do with voltage or how connected, the 2 pin type are G5.3. I have found the intensity is linked to size, so a 2" does not light as well as 5" but is better than 1" if the lumen is the same, so at around...

Depending on the fitting type it could be the lamps (light bulbs). If the fitting is fire rated and looks like a tin can when removed from the ceiling you need to make sure you have fitted light bulbs or lamps that have an aluminium reflector. The aluminium reflector allows light and heat...

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?

Swapping over the lamp holders and removing the transformers is not a problem. I suppose what I am asking is can one room have both low voltage and 240v bulbs running at once or do I have to convert them all at the same time?
