Fixed halogen reflector lamp GU10

Turned fixed halogen reflector lamp GU10 out of socket, but how?

If anyone has ever had this problem, I do not know. I had it. A halogen lamp arm with 6 halogen reflector lamps a '35 Watt under the kitchen ceiling. This is basically a fiasco because 6x35 watts result in 210 watts. As you get in the face of electricity costs tears in the eyes. Especially since a lot of energy is converted into heat with halogen lamps and the hangs directly under the ceiling. Thanks, it does not help me.

Well, one was broken and I did not get it with the associated sucker solved. I twisted the nipple but the bulb stopped it. Solution: M12 nut brought out of the craft cellar, filed with file surveys weggefeilt, superglue on the filed surface and glued to the glass.


Yeah, now the mother of all mothers hung up there and I start praying from below, hoping that she'll stick and that the superglue keeps his word. Since there is a glass field stove under it, I protected it with a blanket. Did not want to imagine if she had broken up if I had not been master of my tools.

Now it is questionable if everyone has just a 24iger open-end wrench in the house, but maybe a WAPUZA, in German a water pump pliers. By turning in the left direction, it was now possible for me to solve this stubborn something, where I even had to pull the light bulb out of the socket with the WAPUZA. Why the uprising escapes my knowledge because the GU10 socket is not damaged and the new bulb can be easily screwed in and out.

Speaking of new bulbs. Now 6 LED reflector lamps with 4 W each, 170 lumens, 30 °, warm white are used by the discounter for 5.99 euros each. Wau, only 24 watts and also bright.
