Hi,

I have just bought a house which has a downlighting system in the kitchen. I want to replace the bulbs with Philips hue smart bulbs (GU10) however when I pulled one of the bulbs out of the ceiling it turned out to be an 'ALLLED AFD010D/40 10W Dimmable COB LED Integrated Fire Rated Downlight' (http://www.allledgroup.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=181) and I can't remove the bulb without removing the entire fitting. I would be grateful for any advice on how easy it would be to replace these fittings with GU10 fittings so that I can use the Philips light bulbs?

There are 5 downlights in total.

Thanks,
James.
 
All you can do is replace the fitting with one that can take GU10 lamps. The fittings you have are non replaceable lamps, which means there’s no lamp holder either.... all part of the electronics.

get ones that fit the hole in the ceiling
