Bonjour James, J'ai liké le tuto depuis la France... mais également votre mise en garde de ne pas toucher avec les doigts nus : Puisque part méconnaissance j'avais claqué une ampoule halogène sur la Renault 11 TXE (de mes parents). L'ampoule était claquée comme une ampoule de flash d'appareil photo à pellicules. C'est-à-dire qu'elle est devenu blanche opaque !! La deuxième fois : j'ai pris un tissu propre pour la manipuler et c'était parfait. Je précise que mon anecdote date des années 90 car les Renault 11 TXE n'existent plus et les flashs à ampoule jetable non plus (ampoule carrée de 4 flashs, avec 1 flash par côté). Merci de m'avoir lu :) car nous sommes le jeudi 24/03/2022. ----------------- Hello James, I liked the tutorial from France... but also your warning not to touch with bare fingers: Since I didn't know how to go, I had slammed a halogen bulb on the Renault 11 TXE (from my parents). The bulb was slammed like a film camera flash bulb. That is, it has become opaque white!! The second time: I took a clean fabric to handle it and it was perfect. I specify that my anecdote dates from the 90s because the Renault 11 TXE no longer exist and the flashes with disposable bulb either (square bulb of 4 flashes, with 1 flash per side). Thank you for reading :) because it is Thursday 24/03/2022.
Thank you for the video. I won't be touching the bulk with my bare fingers again. Learned my lesson. Thanks too for the tip about ensuring the "knuckle" faces to the rear.
The snag - as I thought it might be - is that the screw has been in for 10 years or better and now it's rusted in. How do I unscrew it? I've tried WD40 but to no avail.
Very helpful video. I tried changing my bulb but found the glass is stuck to the rubber and I was not sure if it was meant to be. I will have to get that off with a sharp knife or a chainsaw I guess.
Hi James thanks for the demo....I Have a question for ya. I have an old halogen lamp with a ceramic double end socket, and the one end has fried out because as we all know bugs think it is a bug light. I am in the dark here, I need to replace it, but it looks like they are using these new round single like fixtures on each side I guess instead of the ceramic doubles now is that right? Are these any better then the old ones that crack & fry out or is it just a cheaper made version in different form? Thanks kindly for any help you can spare....Critter Crazy
Thanks for the vid - i have a very similar light and my issue is that the unit clicks when it detects motion but the new bulb i have put in still doesnt activate. Do these bulbs have polarity so i may need to switch sides? I'm presuming electricity is still being fed to the unit giving it's trying to work. Both metal connectors are touching correctly. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
No. Touching a halogen bulb will not stop it from turning on, it will only reduce the life of it, although, if you did touch it, either replace it or clean it with alcohol as the glass envelope may rupture if the lamp is left on for a while.
All I wanted to know is how to take the bulb out, know I know, also exited with the knowledge of not to touch the bulb at all. Well besides the white parts.
Good straight forward instructional video, but . . . . . while summing up with four points, there was actually five, with two points both sneakily referred to as ‘number 3’. That was only meant to be a humorous observation but reading over this comment now seems like it’s by somebody who needs to get out a bit more. 😕

This is so incredibly nice of you to do. Top man. God bless you.
I am going to attempt repairing mine in the same way tomorrow!
This video very helpful. Holding in the bulb using the packing material is the key.
Very well presented. Thank you.
thank you for the explanation and instruction, it saved me some money and time.
Its now 2022 and I'm watching this great video.......Thank you.
Thanks so much - after AGES our first security light bulb EVER has gone - will watch again when the replacement arrives :-)
Thank you for the video. I won't be touching the bulk with my bare fingers again. Learned my lesson. Thanks too for the tip about ensuring the "knuckle" faces to the rear.
Thank you. Really clearly explained 👍🏾
Thank you for this video. I am able to save quite a few dollars by doing work around my home myself. Grateful!

I've tried WD40 but to no avail.
Thank you for the knuckle tip!!!
It works great and is easy to operate

Thank you for the clear explanation, usually delegate this job to the ex husband but this video gave me a bit of independence ☺️
Hello, what is the reference of such halogen bulb? What led bulb reference could be used to replace it?
How do you find out the size
Very helpful. Easy after watching this video.
Friend i am in the process of replacing my lamps and the screw for the frame fell and i cannot find it. Do you know what size screw that is?
K Clark , It will vary from fitting to fitting, if your in the uk pick up a small multi pack from B&Q wit a selection of threads
very helpful, thank you very much!
From South Africa :)
Very helpful. Thankyou. 🙏
Excellent - thank you!
Very helpful video. I tried changing my bulb but found the glass is stuck to the rubber and I was not sure if it was meant to be. I will have to get that off with a sharp knife or a chainsaw I guess.
Excellent video

Thank you so much. I will tell my to change for me.

Great video

I tried replacing my bulb before watching this video and touched the bulb, the light didn't work. Could it be because I touched it?
No. Touching a halogen bulb will not stop it from turning on, it will only reduce the life of it, although, if you did touch it, either replace it or clean it with alcohol as the glass envelope may rupture if the lamp is left on for a while.

Thank you for helping this blonde change a lightbulb!

Hello... Did you film this video at your own house ?
Hi Adam, No its at some flats I was working at

Why can't you just use gloves
Learn lessens, don't touch bulb by bare hands, knuckle on the back.
Checkout a brighter light with installation included. th-cam.com/video/d-2ceaxi-Aw/w-d-xo.html
