I'm trying to change some lightbulbs. I'm disappointed it seems beyond me.
Basically, we got new lights fitted in our bathroom after an electrical safety check told us the ones we had were not safe for bathroom use. However, the electrician fitted disgusting, cold bluish bulbs which we want to change.
My wife emailed him to ask how to do it, but he didn't reply - not even a "Sorry you don't like my work..." which is a bit disappointing too.
Anyway, I've had a look and I can't figure out how you'd change them. The light fitting seems to pull down on a spring mechanism, but I can't see how you'd get the bulb out of it. I can't pull it very far out and I don't want to do more because I'm not sure how strong the spring arms/ceiling are.
Any ideas?
