2 D light cover stuck

20carrolls · 2012-10-24 17:46:19

Hi I have a 2 D light in the kitchen. It was left on over a weekend and it seems to have blown/burnt out. Was trying to remove the plastic light cover which usually twists off easily but now is stuck and wont really turn much. picture attached. Does anyone know how I might remove it to get at the bulb? Thanks

Id reckon its just a case of gentle persuasion usually if you apply upward pressure as you turn the cover then it will move, they get jammed a bit if it was turned and the little groves were not lined up to one another.
