G9 Lampholder
I have a ceiling lamp with 5 splayed out G9 Lamps. One has started to arc
and needs replacing. Damned if I can see how to do it. It looks like is has a one way lock. The lampholder has a threaded outside for the glass cylindrical shades. |

The lampholder has a threaded outside for the glass cylindrical shades. G9 bulbs normally just pull straight out. Is it possible that some arcing took place between the bulb and socket contacts and has spot welded the two together? -- Jeff |
