Hi all. Just moved into a new home and I've got 4 of the kitchen downward lights that are out. Tried changing the filaments but it became obvious that the filaments are fine, it's the wiring into the back of the socket that's at fault. My question is how do you de-wire these MR16 GU5.3 sockets? There's nothing obvious on them to unscrew, unlatch etc? The two wires out the back disappear into a false ceiling with no disconnect point there either. I think I'm going to have to cut the wires close to the mounting, strip them back and then splice the two wires from a new mounting onto the old cables? Bit of a pain.
On the bright side I've now got 4 spare filaments for future use!!!
Thank you,
Steve B
