Each halogen ceiling light is different. Sometimes we dont need to remove the whole socket piece, but just the protective holding rim or glass, and unplug the bulb. In my old house, I got used to that. In my new house, I havent been able to figure out how to change the bulbs , postponed it , until so many of them burned , I was left with no choice, but to tackle the task. Finally, I came upon your video, to learn that , the new kind I am now faced with, needs to be removed as a whole. :) Thanks.

It sounds like you had the "Lightolier" recessed cans in your old house.

This is for the "Halo" type recessed cans.

I'm glad I could help

this might be a stupid question but i've got a double ended halogen bulb does it matter which way round you install it?

[jeffweissman]

@poptium

I'm not sure what your referring to as a "double ended halogen bulb"

attach a pic or vid & I'll be able to answer you

Jeff thank you very much, this video is very helpfull. Like you say it can be very tricky the first time. I followed your instructions and all is well. (the beginning of video with the info on turn the switch off and the ladder security is a little basic..but hey! I know some people that could actually forget to turn the switch off) - thank you very much for your tips.

Good video. No need for perpetuating false stereotypes about bisexual people, though, who are not confused, just attracted to both genders. And no, I'm not being oversensitive. Disparaging statements about minority groups have significant negative effects such as anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. The fact that people aren't generally speaking about "biphobia" doesn't mean it isn't a problem - it just means that this is a group that hasn't yet created a viable social movement.

A friend of mine has this low voltage type recessed lighting and one of the lights don't work and the bulb does work on another pod. What does he need to replace to make it work?

Thank you Jeff.  Very helpful.

Thank you so much for the info. I changed my bulbs in less than 10 minutes on a TALL ladder.
