GU10 Bulb Replacement

[securespark]

Try putting a rubber washing-up glove on, for extra grip.

Get some gaffer tape, scrunge it up a bit to make something to grip and stick it to the lens.

I have GU10 lamps in sealed holders in the bathroom.

The units came with rubber suckers to grip the face of the bulb after the glass cover was removed from the front of the fitting.

These were the size of the suckers on the children's arrows mentioned above but had wings on back to grip and turn. They worked well.

got one of them out using this method.

Unfortunately, the second one took the lens off the bulb and the third one just didn't budge. Will have to break and use the pliers on them.

I guess they aren't sold separately?
