Seems like a silly question but how do I do this? I have tried pushing in with the sucker removal tool and turning anticlockwise. The lamp is a low energy (Megaman?). What alternatives do I have(polite answers only please)?

Angle grinder, polite enough?
BMTI !
They are horrid things.
Probably invented down South....
Trouble turning it? Have you tried rubber gloves?
Probably ............
If his light fitting is like mine, you can't get your fingers round the lamp.
Superglue a plastic clothes peg across the surface or a similar object, then just turn the peg.
The sucker tool supplied with the light fitting actually works very well.
Hammer , pair of pliers.
Remove them from your arse first.
You don't need to - just press on the face and turn. The rubber gloves increase the friction between glass and fingers.
This does not always work, trust me :-(
Pillock.
This is the best method. I've used it since first encountering it on here. (Probably by yourself)
IME its not worth the full of your a**e of roasted snow. Mr Plowmans suggestion always works for me. The sucker tool is, I think, named after those who try to use it. YMMV
How very odd that the tool works.

Any thoughts on prevention? Is it worth a bit of Coppaslip on the pins?
Might help to clean the gloves if they're new. I've a pair of the rubber strap things - most useful for tap shrouds - and was having trouble, er, getting a grip. Cleaned off the mold release and then no problem.
