A couple of years ago we had our bathroom re-done and the ceiling was replaced and eight LED recessed ceiling lights put in. Since then, half of them have stopped entirely, or have gone super dim. I’m assuming they were a cheapo job lot and I’m happy to replace them all. If indeed I can…
However, getting the units out of the ceiling is proving to be an issue. They appear to be sprung, with two sprung arms keeping them in place in the plasterboard. I can remove them some of the way, but then it seems very hard to overcome the spring tension to get them out – and there doesn’t really seem to be that much room to get the springs to clear the whole with the light unit too. I can get them far enough out to get to the lamp unit, but I’m not sure how to access the bulb from there.
From what I can see, they seem to be similar to these. Any ideas? Or do I just yank them out and replace the whole units?
