Pocster Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Can’t get to tenant . Bulb blown - but I don’t understand what’s going on here . I can see a b22 fitting but the bulb has no cover ? ( I.e glass covering gone ) This make sense to anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattg4321 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Yeah the glass has fallen off or been smashed off. Just needs a new bulb and possibly a pair of pliers to remove the old one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stuff in a potato and twist, it's safe and you don't cut your fingers, or damage the lamp holder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temp Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Sure looks like one of those "halogen bulbs inside a regular bulb" but with the regular glass bulb missing. Might have been like that for ages as it will work without the outer glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I guess it could be a form of Darwinism in action. I’ve removed loads of these in seconds with pliers, but might try a potato next time - if I’ve got one in the van! Should it be a baby new potato, or perhaps a Maris piper?? I wonder what the difference in conductivity is between them! On second thoughts, perhaps not, as at least my pliers are 1000v insulated 😉😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
