how do i change a gu10 bulb that is so fitted to the shade that you can't grip it & it twists to lock in?
the bulb is all one piece with a flat piece of glass in the top. I just bought this fixture and the bulb has already blown... How do I get a hold of it to twist it out and remove it and how do I get the new one to twist into place?
Use a suction cup large enough to be able to grab with your fingers and small enough to fit the inside diameter of the glass. The junk stores have suction cup hooks for the bathroom or kitchen that may be good for this.
