Moved into a new home, featuring over a dozen of these lights. Never seen them before, and this video helped. Right to the point, no fluff. I salute you!
My spotlight is circa 1991, not the same installation as yours. Thank you for your video anyway as it did clue me to pry this thing out of my ceiling. Then cutting it free of wires. Everything I tackle seems to evolve into phases. Phase two will be disassembling and examining this beast to satisfy my curiosity about how anyone could have designed this mess. I've already concluded that it likely took an entire team of genius federal regulators.
You’re an absolute angel for thinking of the public and making these awesome videos. Thanks to you I was able to change these lights by myself! Thank you thank you!!!! You’re awesome!!!
We’ve been living with ONE bulb left in our kitchen after moving to this house 3 years ago and my husband never being able to figure this out. I just did them all! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🎉🤩💃🏻😅
Won't he be surprised! Love it. These buggers are tough to figure out. Down to one light left in my kitchen and decided it was time to look into it. This video is great.
This tutorial is EXACTLY what I needed, thank you! About 2 months ago, all of the lights in my bathroom & kitchen started to go out one by one. I attempted to replace myself and even did a lot of research online but couldn't figure out how to remove the bulb. So i've been living with a good amount of my lights having a new (working) bulb just dangling out of the ceiling with exposed cord (classy, lol) and a bunch of others simply burned out. Due to COVID, my apartment building does not allow maintenance orders other than for emergencies. Well, 30 minutes ago yet another bulb in my kitchen burned out and I decided to do some digging on youtube again and FINALLY found your video. Apparently this mount must be rare, can't thank you enough!
Ha ha! Been struggling to remove the inside portion to get to the light and could not get it out. Saw you taking off the whole outer part and did the same. Switched my light in literally seconds. Genius!
Took me 2.5 years to change 2 downlight bulbs, kept putting it off…Watched your video and changed them in 2 seconds, thank you! Wish I’d done it sooner 😣
Super helpful, thanks for the video! I’ve had bulbs out for years because I couldn’t figure out how to change them 😂😂😂 yet another quarantine chore checked off the list!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I was wondering whether I could get rid of the bright halogen and switch it to something else. The halogen bulb I have is way too bright and casts an ugly light. I'll try an EcoSmart LED.
A 71 year old who was stumped as to how to replace a bulb 😂 Was afraid to grab hold of the edges for fear of breaking the unit. Again, thanks for the video, finally after living in the apartment for 2 years.
Thank you. I've taken the bracket off the ceiling vut I can't dislodge the bulb from the bracket. I'll take it down to Bunnings (Home Depot) tomorrow and ask for help. I need to buy a replacement bulb anyway.
Was wondering if you could help me figure out why my light fixture doesn’t pop back into the ceiling. My figure looks exactly the same as yours except it does not have the two metal pieces I see in your fixture.
@@GetToThePointplz123 thanks so much for getting back to me! I don’t have the manufacturer because it came with the home. My fixture has no spring, no metal pieces whatsoever. Is there a way I can send you a picture to show you what it looks like?
I have these in my basement. It looks like that steal wings are not on them. Is there a way I can replace those? Thank you for "Getting to the point" I am so sick of hearing life stories before getting to the project. 100% approved!
The old bulb should have watts printed on it somewhere, I would take old one to store with you and get the LED equivalent...they last longer and don't get hot. The max wattage might be printed inside the fixture sometimes too
Ok so with the heat shield it won't connect so it won't fit turn on. If I take the heat shield off it goes on.. so is it safe to just not use that heat shield?
If you use an LED replacement bulb you can lose the shield, if you're still using the halogen bulb you probably shouldn't ( halogens get extremely hot, leds do not )
@@GetToThePointplz123 so there is a box in there once you remove it. What im asking is if i can use the box for pendant or i have to run new cables etc
If its an electrical box yes, if it's just the housing for the eyeball probably not. If there's access to the wires inside said "box" and you can connect and mount new fixture safely then yes

OMG that is exactly what is happening in my basement. I have a good 10 bulbs out and 1 that is hanging by the bulb. lol Girl, we got this. :)
Thanks for the clear, straightforward instructions, free of the gobbledegook of other videos, which are also often missing essential information.
The only good video on how to do it, thanks! I don't understand how so many other videos had so many likes
Our lights have been out for over a year. I thought I was breaking the light. I appreciate this so much!!!!
That's awesome!
I was going crazy trying to figure out how to change my eyeball spotlight bulb, and this is the only video on the subject that helped! Thanks!
I wish all DIY videos were as good as this. Very clear instructions!
Perfect! 67 y.o. woman just completed the bulb replacement.
Ha ha! Been struggling to remove the inside portion to get to the light and could not get it out. Saw you taking off the whole outer part and did the same. Switched my light in literally seconds. Genius!
Thanks, I had never changed one of these bulbs and was stumped. Your video made it very clear and easy to do.
Thank you so much for this video! You just helped me switch my light bulbs in the kitchen and I didn’t think it was that easy!😅 Have a wonderful day
thank you! Could not figure that out, and didn't want to break anything. you saved me a $70 electrician bill! 🙂
Thank you, this definitely help a lot replacing two bulbs that were burn out for months. I was about to get rubber suction cup to pull it outward.
Thank you so much! Very helpful video and clear explanation and demonstration
Took me 2.5 years to change 2 downlight bulbs, kept putting it off…Watched your video and changed them in 2 seconds, thank you! Wish I’d done it sooner 😣

Very helpful! I don’t think I would’ve been able to change the lights if I didn’t find this video thank you!

Awesome, good for you🎉
Thank you! Finally figured out what to do because of your video.
Thank you so much for this! I was able to easily change my spotlight lightbulb after this simple tutorial!!
Awesome 👌
Thank you.
I've taken the bracket off the ceiling vut I can't dislodge the bulb from the bracket.
I'll take it down to Bunnings (Home Depot) tomorrow and ask for help.
I need to buy a replacement bulb anyway.
We a ton of these in our new house, and very glad to see the swap out process is easy. Great tutorial!
After watching many videos yours is the one that helped! Thank you!
Super simple and straight to the point then you sir.
Never thought I'd need to google changing a light bulb....very humbling. Thanks!
It happens
Thank you! You saved me a lot of aggravation and time!
Was wondering if you could help me figure out why my light fixture doesn’t pop back into the ceiling. My figure looks exactly the same as yours except it does not have the two metal pieces I see in your fixture.
The 2 metal pcs are what wedge the light into the ceiling can...do you have the name or manufacturer of your fixture? I can look it up
@@GetToThePointplz123 thanks so much for getting back to me! I don’t have the manufacturer because it came with the home. My fixture has no spring, no metal pieces whatsoever. Is there a way I can send you a picture to show you what it looks like?
@@Jenkim91 how did it come out?
@@GetToThePointplz123 I just pulled it down. There’s nothing broken for sure it just won’t pop or twist back in.
@@Jenkim91 you'll have to contact a local lighting company or electrician to help you further
I suspected the whole thing pulled off, but I wanted to be sure I wasn't gonna break it. Thanks!
Oh my god THANK YOU! I have been trying to change the lightbulb in my bathroom for two days!
Yay
Omg i am having a hard time keeping the bracket or mount up on the ceiling. Where did you get these clip wings at? Think that will help me.
You should be able to get a replacement, take old one with you to supply store if your not sure
Definitely helpful and straightforward.
Thank you so much man you helped me from Morocco hahahaha
Awesome
Very good, helped me at my mom's house.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
was it the same way for the LED lights?
I have these in my basement. It looks like that steal wings are not on them. Is there a way I can replace those? Thank you for "Getting to the point" I am so sick of hearing life stories before getting to the project. 100% approved!
Not sure about that ? you would have to look around
If they are halogen bulbs, what wattage should the bulb be? I have 50 W right now.
The old bulb should have watts printed on it somewhere, I would take old one to store with you and get the LED equivalent...they last longer and don't get hot. The max wattage might be printed inside the fixture sometimes too
Thanks for this! This wasn't the exact method for me, but it was a good course-correction video for me since I was doing it all wrong heh
Thank you - I tried everything possible, simply pulling it out was never in my mind ! ah ah ah
I could figure out how they pop out. But how do you replace them when they are on a ceiling 16 ft up?
You can rent a 10 or 12 ft step ladder
Thank you sir! Very handy tip!
Thank you for teaching me how it's done.
Do you know if it's possible to place a light fixture in there instead of adding in a new bulb?
I wouldn't be able to say without looking at what you have and what you want to put in its place, probably have to call your electrician to look at it
THANK YOU! This video has been very helpful!
Awesome👍
Thank you soooooo much! Made switching the bulb so easy.
Thank you. So simple when you know how.
Ok so with the heat shield it won't connect so it won't fit turn on. If I take the heat shield off it goes on.. so is it safe to just not use that heat shield?
If you use an LED replacement bulb you can lose the shield, if you're still using the halogen bulb you probably shouldn't ( halogens get extremely hot, leds do not )

How do i convert an eyeball light to a pendant light??
Remove eyeball fixture, no way to convert
@@GetToThePointplz123 so there is a box in there once you remove it. What im asking is if i can use the box for pendant or i have to run new cables etc
