Garden lights - anyone know how to replace these?

[nexus5]

hi,
I inherited these garden lights from the previous owner,not one is not lighting up. Any ideas on how to replace the bulb and also where I can purchase these types of light?

Many thanks.

Can you remove the bulb cover ? If not the light fitting might be sealed for life.

Are they getting power if none are powering on ?

Struggling to remove the bulb. Rest of the bulbs are working, just this one is off.

Sorry I read “ not one is not lighting up“ as they were all not lighting up

My best guess would be that the top or bottom sections unscrews. Get hold of a couple of strap wrenches, as used for car oil filters - Try holding the bottom with one and turning the top section with the other.

Can you try the others as they maybe easier to see how to get apart

I don't suppose that LED array can be unplugged to replace it?

Your best way forward, will be to check there is in fact a 240v supply at the light and if there is, maybe see if you can track down someone local with electronics ability to see if the unit can be repaired. It might be something as silly as a capacitor dropper, where the capacitor has gone open circuit.

According to q&a on the website it seems that these have integrated LEDs in non replaceable sealed units.m

Quite expensive, so well worth seeing if a repair might be possible.

I would not expect LED arrays to be replaceable, which was why I suggested it might be possible to find someone knowledgeable to repair the LED array. As said, I would check the unit has a mains supply going to it, before worrying about repairing it.

Didn’t think garden lights would be 240v.
