I was about to unscrew and open the whole lamp and I had the idea to watch a video about G9 and I found this one that saved my life. Thanks.

Thank you ... didn’t have a clue how to do the clips, and now I know, what would we do without ppl like you? Cheers .

93 thumbs down? What madness is that for an extremely helpful video?

I don't know if these UK version (240V) apply to US (120V) by type names, but seeing the different variations of contact & insertion/removal was very helpful as I try & figure out what I have.
Many thanks!

I tried to take out a GU10 bulb for days, watched your video and in 1 minute out it came and I replaced it in no time. Thank you so much.

[pattersoncat]

Thank you very much. This video has been a fantastic help. Just moved into new house with just about every type of bulb mentioned here and nearly all of them needing replaced. Diamond!

[markfelderman]

Thank you for posting this. I would not have been able to change my light without your help. I wish contractors would consider that the next home owner wishes they would have just put a a regular light bulb in!

Great video. I had to change a downlighter bulb for the first time and had no idea how to get into the fitting. My Mate Vince's video solved the problem nicely.

[rosemarybeale]

Thank you so much for this Vince. Been struggling to work out how I change the G9 Halogen 240V bulbs in my kitchen light fitting since moving into my cottage. Now I know ! So easy ☺

[marissal.]

Thank you also for your How To video! I waited 3 or 4 years to change my vanity bulbs in my bathroom sans no BF or hubby 😊👍

[paulsummerhill]

I never knew about using a sucker for replacing the bulbs in our kitchen. So easy when you know how. Thank you.

[bluelobster]

Very nice, very thorough explanation. 👍 I just moved to Thailand from the US, completely different light fittings, lol.
I do have a helpful saying for you...
" *Left-y loose-y, Right-y tight-y* " 😁

[piyushjoshi]

I was afraid to break the bulbs in my vent hood. Going through the bulbs help me. The suction cup was great advice. Thanks.

[sharonm]

Thank you, I'm glad I found you on youtube! Having had my house rewired the electrician failed to inform me how to change the spot bulbs which are all over the house. I need to invest in a 'sucker!'

[riekodi]

Thanks so much for sharing the different varieties of bulbs and how to change/replace them. Extremely helpful. God bless.

Used video to replace GU10 halogen bulb. Excellent explanations with video. Changing a light bulb is no linger easy!

[catherinecampos]

didn't know where to start - this video made it simple took less than a minute to replace bulb Thanks!

[stuartfranks]

I've been losing my mind trying to work out how to remove the (some smashed to buggery by previous owners) MR16s from my kitchen, life saver!
