GU 10 stuck?

Qprmeath

Bulb blown. Its in a wooden ceiling of a sunroom so cant get behind it. Dont think its an ordinary Gu 10 light fitting as it swivels and seems to be on some sort of spring? Cant turn it to remove it. Am currently searching the house for one of those black suction pad things to turn it but Im not convinced that will do the trick.

those suction things will do the trick, do you use suction hooks on bathroom or windows at moment, as sometimes these we use to hang up our face towels and things, or the christmas decorations did you use suction cups to hold lights on windows, they also do the trick, trust me, i have had to do it with them, and they worked,

All suction thing did was take the face off it. Its a pliers job or is there any other way?

M cebee

can you pull the fitting down

Qprmeath

The surround seems tight but I thought I should be able to pull it down. Ill give that another go
