How to change a spotlight bulb

A quick and easy guide showing how to remove and replace a 12v spotlight bulb.

[@torsteinv34]

Finally a short and to the point how-to video, no asking to like and subscribe and dragging the video out for 10 minutes with nonsense.

[@catchmeintherye2102]

Its the week before Christmas and despite my general good luck no electrician can be found in my part of the world for such mundane call out.
So after I attempted to do this just by staring at it and subsequently injuring my ring finger from those horrid springs I found your video. What a beauty.
Thank you and I really mean it.

[@lovepeace417]

Easy to understand , and straight to the point . Thank you 😊

[@Graceismad96]

Thank you! Someone wanted to charge us £25 to change it. Plus the cost of the bulb cheeky sod! Thanks for showing us how simple it is!!

[@layioye1]

Changed my spotlight in less than 60 seconds, thanks to you 😀

[@KarenChungIvy]

Thank you so much. You've helped a woman maintain her independence! 😊

[@samtomy7076]

Tell this for the feminists (just joking my dear😂)

[@TheGodfather2731]

And for a man too 😂

[@irisay804]

Thank you very much from a woman who just changed two bulbs by herself 😊

[@MsHampster123]

Thanks - all 4 in my bathroom had gone. After the first one I went to change the bulb, saw wires and panicked. Arranged for an electrician to come and give me a quote. Finances meant I cancelled and checked your video instead. All changed now by myself. Thank you :)

[@checkwithrob1158]

Starry Eyes. Great job. Well done. Money well saved. 👍

[@lavenderlanterns7835]

[@Charlie123307]

Thank you so much the lady I clean for has eight to change, your video was so helpful

[@pestilany6]

Great job. I couldn't work out if the prongs fitted into recesses somewhere on the rim, or what. Thanks a bunch!

[@marymagda5066]

Love you Bob. You saved me 😍

[@barbaratucker9246]

Thanks, I thought I would need a university degree to figure this out! Nice and clear.

[@justalex3525]

That cuppa surely was delicious. Thanks, though!

[@leenabhandari5949]

You're the best

[@checkwithrob1158]

That particular type of spotlight bulb is called a 2 Pin MR16 bulb. It's 50mm in diameter. There is also a 2 Pin MR11 bulb which is 35mm in diameter. I hope that has helped. Thanks for watching.

[@LouddlesLou]

Perfect!! Helped so much :)

[@waynebelfast]

Very helpful. Just need to work out what you call this style of bulb.

[@davedogge2280]

Getting the spring clip back in was tricky but seeing someone do it pushed me on to do it.

[@111Lemmings]

Fantastic, really helpful thanks

[@othmanalfozan780]

[@malekabdullah8938]

Thanks for the video. I changed mine but it is still not working. Any idea why?

[@GTA-bp4vf]

Brilliant! Thank Rob!

[@MsLindy57]

I’m going to try. Thank you.

[@susanhollis1933]

Thank you. Couldn't work out how to do it! 30 seconds later two out and changed

[@megspoetry]

Wow I wish I watched this before I took the bracket off by bending the prongs with a screwdriver like the eejit I am :D we live and learn

[@Stormynight96]

Nice and clear👍

[@ranshir]

thank you

[@polluxtroy2010]

Thank you so very much!!!

[@panteraroz48]

Thank you!

[@chintaariyaratnam5755]

Thank you so much

[@User888User]

Damn, Why did I not think about this?
Well hoho
Thanks!!

[@lornad2964]

I still can't work out how to get the clip back. Sorry but what way up do the prongs go and do you have to have them in a particular place when you put the light back? I can't seem to do it though I've watched this three times. Sorry...

[@milliekelly587]

Thank you very much :)

[@joyt1825]

hello can i replace a 3 prongs wire cable and connect it to a 2 pins spotlight?

[@raphaelpz]

thanks mate

[@ejwaterstone3497]

verry helpful

[@naledikumalo9833]

Thank you

[@KpxUrz5745]

Mine would be easy if it were designed like yours in the video. I'm still looking for a way...

[@paulrnaylor]

I hope its that easy. A job for day light though

[@user-fn6zh3tp1c]

شكرا

[@shawafhussien]

thank you.................

[@sineadbarry5242]

What do you do if the bulb doesn't drop when you take the bracket out???

[@checkwithrob1158]

It could just be stuck in place as it hasn’t been removed before. Just give it a wiggle and a twist and it should loosen.

[@wcgcjd]

i need you in my life .. god damn i can't do it

[@jesperstergaard6469]

[@durragas4671]

Bracket came out bulb won't move what do thanks

[@checkwithrob1158]

Sometimes the bulbs just get wedged in. Once the bracket has been removed just try and give it a wiggle or use a small spoon or blunt knife to try and leaver it out carefully. Please ensure the lights are turned off and the bulb is cool. Good luck.

[@fastteddyb]

I don't have any bracket at all - otherwise looks identical.

[@TheGodfather2731]

And bobs your uncle

[@shushhhsh6683]

really isnt that easy its pissing me off its just popping back out

[@fionagowenlock1210]

so what about spotlights with no clips holding it in place? Not very helpful.

[@checkwithrob1158]

Please check out this video. I hope it helps ruclips.net/video/VnF4IRIVN30/видео.html
