Hey all,

Not sure how to do this.
Unfortunately the bathroom has no natural light; so once the main is off it's all a bit tricky while holding your phone as a torch!

Photo attached. The unit 'pulls' down some of the way but I don't want to force it - I can feel there's some spring or clip fighting me.

There appears to be no obviously way at this stage to actually get at the bulb - any suggestions appreciated!

Cheers

There will be spring clips holding the lot up, but to access the lamp the bottom of it probably just unscrews. I'm not sure if it unscrews clockwise or counter clockwise tho.
 
And you're going to want to push up at the same time as you twist, this helps stop the whole fitting from moving - the pressure on the lip helps keep the light fixed.

I find the palm/heel of my hand generally works well (the bit where your wrist joins to your hand)
