Hello all,
A light fitting with MR16 dichroics seems to have a stuck bulb. I was under the impression that these were just pull-out The shrouds around each bulb are one-piece, with no apparent option to dismantle the shroud. The bulbs are recessed into the shroud.
There is a circular spring clip - but the bulb seems well wedged even with this removed. Is there a possibility the inner shroud (black plastic?) has compressed against the bulb body with heating?
All I have managed to do so far is remove the flat glass disk exposing the capsule There seemed to be only some clear softish sealant material holding this disk in place (cheap bulbs?). The circlip does not hold the glass in place.
So I now have a working bulb (was intermittent - hence my gentle attentions), with the capsule exposed, and a glass disk to look after 'till I can do a fix.
Any advice?
Many Thanks,
CB
