Downlight fittings

[kristoffer10]

Hello,

Hopefully an easy one here. The downlights in my bathroom have packed in. I can't change the bulbs because a glass bezel has been installed with no other access to change them.

I want to change them so that when they pack in again I can just remove the normal clips. Is this an easy job and what would I need? I basically need a version of the bezel I have attached pics of but without the glass.

Many thanks in advance,

Kris

The bezel is removable, as shown in the picture of you holding it.

I don't recall asking how/if it can be removed, I was asking if there is a type of bezel without the glass, etc

In short, no. They’re like that in a bathroom so steam etc doesn’t get into the roof/floor rot the timbers.

You can get them with bezels that aren’t siliconed on so you can’t get them off though

Iggifer, thank you very much for that information. Are the unsiliconed ones easy enough to find out, do you know?

 

[Iggifer]

All I mean is some muppet has used silicone or caulk to either tidy the finish or hold the rings up - hence your difficulty in getting them out.

Any IP65 rated downlight fitting will be fine - I would go for something with a built in LED so you don't need to change them for a LONG time but it's your choice.

Perfect info, thank you again.

Every light fitting sold in the UK is IP rated

Yes, thanks for that helpful nugget.

How about actually expanding on that and making it a useful post for once?
