Luke, just want to thank you for you simple, precise instructions which i followed and put the metal ceiling light rings into bathroom ceiling by myself. With gratitude, for your generosity
Wow - what a lovely thing to do, to help all these people with their little problems (that seem like big problems to those of us who don't know). I'm very grateful to you as I faced a scary night at home with just lamps and torches for light. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. First method wouldn’t budge the sucker. Second method worked a treat. Really helpful and clear instructions that worked. Now I am off to the dreaded Bunnings on a Sunday with the dead bulb in hand.
You absolute legend , you explained that so easy , I was thinking how does the clip go back in struggled for minutes and then found your video and wow was done in a minute thanks man 😂❤🎉
Lots of help. Only difference was the bulb I'm replacing was stuck in the hole and required a gentle downward tug. Thankfully I didn't force the bulb and made a mess of things☺
Thank you, thank you, thank you! As someone who is only used to changing your normal screw in light bulb the halogen lights were so confusing! (didn't know I had to pull it out like that haha)
Thanks for sharing I had a different light but your video gave me an idea of how to get the 'spring' wire holding the bulb in place out using a screw driver.
I always thought that the 'surclip' needed to wrap around the lip of the bulb itself before being pryed back into the fitting. No wonder it always seemed like Mission Impossible! Thanks!
It took me 6 months to get around to changing the globe and 2 minutes to change it (1.47 to view your youtube and about 15 seconds to change it). Thanks
I'm renting and there is no glass in the one I have as I have touched the tiny bulb thinking that was what was to be changed would this be the same type as you mention in your video?
The metal ring must be below the bulb. The metal ring is what stops the bulb from falling down. The bulb must be put in first, then you must put in the metal ring, against the bulb, to prevent the bulb from falling out.
Must hv deleted yr answer. LT bulb just like yours, metal ring like two large parenthesis marks that do not meet bent at the ends. How do I install, must lt bulb be removed first it is dangling from ceiling hole
Unsure without seeing it. This video shows how to do it with this style of downlight fitting, with this style of metal ring. The bulb must be up in the light fitting first, then while holding it up with 1 finger, so the bulb doesnt fall down, you need to insert the metal ring with your other hand. The circular metal ring, when out of the fitting, will have a gap because it opens up( as its usually under pressure when its inside the fitting). You need to close the gap in the metal ring for it to fit into the fitting, below the bulb, then it works by putting pressure on the fitting, and holds in place. I put in one side of the metal ring, first, so it it pushing up against the bulb, then push the other side of the ring, into the fitting, and push the rest into place. The metal ring gap must be held together to be able to fit . You could use 'cir-clip pliers' which are a specially tool, but 9/10 you can just hold the metal ring together and slide it in. I hope this answers your question, but it's hard to explain as there are many metal ring styles.
thank you for your wonderfully clear instructions! Can I ask if it is possible to change the rims of these down lighters without removing/replacing the whole light? I have white surrounds and would like to swap them for chrome/silver coloured ones. Thank you.

Happy to help 👍👍
This was so so helpful! Had a bulb flashing at us for weeks with no idea how to change it! Thanks so much!!!

Wow, thank you for your clarity, generosity is replying so swiftly. You are a good teacher of mechanical things. With gratitude
Happy I could help you.
Thank you so much from UK. I was unsure if I was doing it properly, so your video helped!!!

Top banana. Most my bulbs have blown and I didnt know how to replace them. Glad I found this video
You absolute legend , you explained that so easy , I was thinking how does the clip go back in struggled for minutes and then found your video and wow was done in a minute thanks man 😂❤🎉
Thank you so much for nice explanation! I had to change light bulbs alone and I had no idea to do it!
Thank you for the help. I was clueless until this guy advised me
thanks from Canada- my problem was putting it back as my ring has an additional 3 prongs, but son-in-law came to my rescue.
Thanks Luke! 11 years later, but in an older house now.
He sounds like a professor lecturing an anatomy class
He does
😂😂😂😂yes
👍😂👍
Thanks for this video! Finally figured out how to replace these bulbs in my kitchen
Lots of help. Only difference was the bulb I'm replacing was stuck in the hole and required a gentle downward tug. Thankfully I didn't force the bulb and made a mess of things☺

Omg. That's helped me out loads!!! I was trying to unscrew the round thing. Doh 🤦♀️
Thank you. Couldn't figure out how to remove the metal ring because other videos had only the metal spring clip.
Thank you, I was doing this completely wrong and unscrewing everything! 😅
This video finally gave me the know how I needed, thank you so much!!
Thanx a ton.i saved money for electrician and i did it on my own.
Thanks so much, I literally need to change 3 led's exactly alike. God bless you
Thank you very much for explaining so perfectly. It was really helpful . My husband changed bulbs with confidence after watching your video
Thank you my husband has been trying to fix them for weeks x
It took me 6 months to get around to changing the globe and 2 minutes to change it (1.47 to view your youtube and about 15 seconds to change it). Thanks
me too ! i use the par20 led bulbs Luxvista ,warm led, i change it by myself, It works very well.amzn.to/2NKIf9X
Thank you for taking the time to share this. I now feel confident enough to do it myself.
I'm renting and there is no glass in the one I have as I have touched the tiny bulb thinking that was what was to be changed would this be the same type as you mention in your video?
Nicely done & well explained. Certainly made my day more fun! Merci.
You're the man !! Thanks from Portugal
Thank you SO MUCH!! Wouldn't have gotten that damn metal ring out of that fuckin' thing!! Thanx for saving my day!!
Ok. Do I close and insert the metal ring first, before I put the bulb in? Signed: Thick as a brick
The metal ring must be below the bulb.
The metal ring is what stops the bulb from falling down.
The bulb must be put in first, then you must put in the metal ring, against the bulb, to prevent the bulb from falling out.
Thanks mate. waiting for my mum to come home and turn on the lights ;)
Cheers mate, very helpful, from Scotland
OMG Thank you! Such clear instructions meant even I was able to do this!!
Thanks, very straightforward
Thank you man for your help. Now it's feasable and simple.
do you have a video to show how to switch from fluorescent to halogen?
Very good instructions. Now I'm going to try. Thank you.
Thanks from England - now my daughter and I don't have to rely on my husband.
A great thank you from Algeria
One of the wires came out of the plug that drops down. What do I do in that case?
Are there any other types of downlights? Mine looks most like this one but it doesn't have the metal ring.
I wish someone had answered this

Thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!! You're my hero. From a literally illuminated Lizzie in England xxx
Thank you very much from us in Scotland, been driving me crazy. :)
Do you know where to buy a replacement of the metal ring that keeps the light from falling out? - Ours has been misplaced!
You cant. You need to buy the whole fitting. Typical capitalist trick
Mate i have one of these but when i get rid of the little rim the bulb inside doesn't pop down, thoughts?
Having the same problem. Did you ever figure it out?
You have to gently press the bulb and rotate it to the right or left wichever way it allows you not much just a little bit and it will come of
Your clip saved my life (it's long stupid story)
I switched off the light an waited 20 minutes an the it was to dark 🤷♀️
Thank you very much. We did it!
Thanks to your video. You are very nice.
Thank you for this, very helpful
thank you for your wonderfully clear instructions! Can I ask if it is possible to change the rims of these down lighters without removing/replacing the whole light? I have white surrounds and would like to swap them for chrome/silver coloured ones. Thank you.
You can paint them silver.

If you old bulb is dead, you don't have to wait for the housing to cool down. Just turn off the switch and replace it already.
Mate I swear this helped
