12v downlighters with extractor fan

Apr 10, 2005 3 Replies

In a shower cubicle we have a 12v downlighter with an integral extractor fan. The light fitting in the middle has collapsed. The small round connector into which the bulb fits, and which is held by 2 small screws has worked loose and the screws have fallen out. I do not know how to get them back in. Do I have to remove the entire fitting from the ceiling, and if so how do I do this?



Any help most welcome. John

Thanks for the replies. It turns out for 6 years we had had a 50w bulb where only a 20w bulb should have been. This has burnt out part of the fitting, which our friendly electrician has been able to fix quite cheaply. Moral? Read the instructions first!
