I have spotlights all over my apartment and one in bathroom blew at wkend, my living room spotlights seem to be that you push up the bulb and replace but in bathroom I had to take down whole spotlight (bringing some ceiling too!). I have yet to replace the bulb, have whole spotlight in bag and plan to bring to DIY store but does anyone have any advice on these because they seem to be the most awkward lights in world and I can't figure how I'm actually going to get bulb out of light hopefully DIY shop people will help.
Also the light above my mirror went in bathroom and new bulb isn't working so must be problem with actual light fitting but the idea of asking an electrician out to just look at overhead light seems extreme - anyone have any ideas of what I could try first.
