Default Re: GU10 Halogen Removal & Replacement

I've had cheap GU10s snap off the base altogether and I've also cut my finger on sharp edges trying to turn them to get them out. I'll second the two-thumbs method and also the use of neoprene gloves.
The sucker-like device is okay as long as you don't have the other problem that seems to go along with cheap GU10 bulbs - cheap GU10 sockets! Fortunately you can also buy replacement GU10 sockets online and if you're having any issues with your fittings it's well worth replacing them
