Bathroom Light Fitting

[CJ]

Hi

I have a very silly (but hopefully easy) question. The lightbulb in my bathroom light has blown, and I need to replace it - but I can't figure out how to remove the cover for the light fitting! I've only recently moved to the UK, and I'm wondering if maybe you use a fitting type here that I'm not used to - it won't unscrew, it just turns and turns and turns. I don't see any catches or anything, although there is one spot where it looks like you might put a coin or a screwdriver in, maybe to pry the cover loose; but it doesn't seem to do anything, and I'm worried about breaking it.

Any ideas? There's a sticker on it saying that it's made by Powerlite, and looking at

it looks like their Decordrum, which mentions a snap on diffuser, but doesn't give any clues on how to take it off.

You have answered your own question really.

The rim will possibly have a small cut-out to insert a coin or a screwdriver if a coin is too small to get leverage to "pop" the cover off

I think you just pull down on the white part .It will have three or maybe more clips around holding it on .

If there are no screw heads visible anywhere on the fitting then the cover presumably snaps off.

Remember that the bulb may have the sensible bayonet cap and thus not unscrew as you may be used to.

Even by the standards of s**te web sites that one is particularly bad. It didn't have any information that I could see, unless one wants to download proprietary format Acrobat files. Undoubtedly designed by a graphic artist.
