Help with Kitchen Spotlight

    I had a LED bulb go in one of the kitchen spotlights - no problem I thought, I have spares. When I went to replace the bulb I couldn't figure out any way to remove it. The fitting doesn't look like anything I've seen before - it's basically a kind of think disc that's attached to the housing with no way I can see to remove the bulb.

    Anyone any ideas? Google has failed me.

    Looks like it could be an integrated fitting, not one that uses bulbs, but it's hard to tell.

    What kind of replacement bulb do you have that you think fits it?

    Sorry, wasn't clear - I have no spares - I have no idea if the bulb can even be replaced. Could it be that it's not replaceable and an entire new light fitting is required? Seems like an incredibly stupid design if that's the case.

    It looks possibly like the inner separates from the shell, hard to tell .Not great for replacement if it doesn't

    You might have to see settle for a similar white downlight

    If you're anyways competent you'd take it down and examine it easily

    Could also be a problem with the connection to the light, rather than the light itself.

    Could be alright , unusual looking fitting

    Usually better to have separate parts rather than integrated imo .Not just repair but contributes greatly to waste.

    Power supplies separate to TV. Turntable separate to CD etc .
