I would be interested to know if any newsgroup members have
experienced similar problems and in particular know of a solution for
the removal of these stubborn bulbs.

My kitchen is getting darker and darker.

I hope someone can offer some suitable advice.

Yours, annoyed and frustrated,

Gary.

Put 4 of them in my kitchen 3 years ago and am not impressed, they eat
bulbs, quality bulbs are expensive and don't last any longer than cheapo
ones, and yes they are a pain to change, edison screw says it all.....
stupid way of fixing a bulb. I will cure the problem soon by throwing them
in the bin, methinks halogens are favorite for a replacement.
