Sometimes the heat from the bulb can heat the paint and cause the parts to stick together. Especially if someone has painted over it before. Otherwise it may be another style of fitting, that only looks similar. A licenced electrician will be able to sort it out !
Without seeing what you've done, or what sort of fitting you have, it's a bit hard to know. But, you could try a downlight suction cap, under $10 from EBay, just attatches to the glass on the downlight globe, then you can pull it back. 'GU10 & MR16 LIGHT BULB REMOVER $8.33' Otherwise, if you take out the whole fitting from the ceiling , you can reach the globe, by reaching up the hole in the ceiling the downlight fitting was in. Depends how far up into the roof you pushed it but if it's just inside the fitting you should be able to use a 'downlight globe suction tool to get it back'. 👍
Power off first folks, before you go jabbing your butter knife around. Then you can bash the crap out of it, to use the official name for the technique.
Why would anyone invent something so horrible and think it's a good idea??
Thank you for helping so many people!
Ask Volkwagen - they specialise in making goddamn impossible to easily replace headlight bulbs.
Thanks for this video - really helped me. For one of my downlights I did have to go the final stage of "bash the crap out of it". But hey, it worked!
Thank you! Worked great and have me confidence to wiggle things around (terrified of breaking things!)
Got mine out with help from your video, thanks!
Brilliant. Worked perfectly 👍🏼
Solid finishing , hahaha love it!
Merci vraiment tu viens de m'apprendre quelques choses 😊
Really helped, thank you!!
Helpful thanks 🙏
Thank you
Wish you were closer. Having this exact problem and nothing works.

@@24HOURELECTRICIAN I think I will have to get someone to look at it.
Thanks you🙏
I’ve punched the bulb right up and I can’t get it out , what do I do ? 😮

When did light fittings become so complicated and potentially dangerous just to change a darned bulb? Give me the old tungsten bayonets any day.
Thank you help heaps
Thank you so much...cheers!
