Super helpful video and instructions! Just what I needed. Cheers!
Glad it helped!
Found this and realised that I couldn't replace the bulb in my downlights as I have these integrated sockets in all bar about 2 of my downlights. Then you show how to find the K value which is exactly what I was after, killed 2 birds in one stone after 90 minutes going down rabbit holes on YT. Thanks!
Glad to help
Ah no 🤦🏻 I think I have the same problem, how much are these whole enclosure replacements?
Great explanation. Just replaced one of mine in no time.
Great to hear!
Do you have to yank it down? I am not trying to do anything with the wires only change the bulb.
Thanks
@@T-London You can't change the bulb. That's the point. It's like having a car and having to replace the entire thing when you get a flat tyre.
Really helpful thanks! I need to buy a voltage tester but I doubt it'll get used much so don't want to shell out loads - can you provide any recommendations?
Very helpful. Thanks mate
Glad it helped
Thanks for the advice as I'm going to attempt to change my spot light🎉
You got this!
Moved into a property with these installed, 2 failed so far - why would you fit something that you can't change the bulb in? Seems like a backward step. Thanks for the video, have now replaced them all with suitable fixings.
it's so the suppliers can make more money.
What did you do after taking out all the cables from the connections? Did you put them back as they were or did you cut them a bit?
I have Ip65 lamps. Hw do you take the light fixture down, do you have to pull it from both sides? Also will i need a complete new set. Thanks
it is really helpful, however I am unable to remove the light from the ceiling
question please I have Ip65 lamps can it be connected to a smart switch ( wifi) for alexa connectivity and sort. how do i even know how to check if they can be connected to a smart switch and then alexa, dont know if am making any sense - if that dont work wld i have to considering removing all ip65 lamps and installing new lights that are smart ?
Hi! Any lights can be controlled by a smart switch, there are some things to consider to avoid compatibility issues though. 1 - Dimming, if you are wanting to dim the lights you must make sure the LED fitting/lamps are dimmable. 2 - Some smart switches require a neutral at the switch. Hope this helps.
I've a problem with these and not sure whether mine is just simple twist or pulled down type.
Thank you
You're welcome
Snapping? How do you remove the clips from the ceiling????
Surely if i only want to change the bulb i only have to change the bulb cable and not the actual cable that goes into the ceiling?
New downlights are integrated meaning they are fixed (no bulb)
Very helpful.
that looks a right faff compared with just replacing a bulb. Think I'll stick with GU10
I could just about hear you😊
Is there an easy way of telling if it’s an integrated LED? I’ve been trying to change the bulb in a fixture and it’s completely defeated me.
Hi Rob, if it’s not the integrated type the downlight will have either a twist and lock section holding the lamp in place, or a circular spring which you pinch and pull and the lamp comes down, another way to check is give the lamp a little push and if there’s any movement on the lamp it’ll be the type you can replace. I hope this helps
Its a super bad idea if you are a tenant who just wants to use her smart bulbs without having to replace the entire unit! Looks like my new apartment has this type and Im not happy at all.
So depressing that theyake these integrated lights. Why cant i just change the fxxxing bulb instead if having to replace the entire unit? So dumb.
It's so the suppliers can make more money.
@@tommytraddles And so the world can run out of resources more quickly. This sort of shit should be illegal.
I think it’s absolute SHITE that these are even being manufactured. As a homeowner these may well have lasted five years BUT I don’t want to be getting an electrician out every five years years instead of just being able change the bulb myself! Even asked my electrician and he kept insisting the bulbs could be changed. Perhaps all these morons should grow a brain. Massively pissed off that I’ve spent months with no light and now damaged my ceiling wrenching the damn thing out. Never again.
