Hi all

Thank you for registering me.

I have a flickering ceiling light. I took off the shade to get at the bulb but the bulb is one I've not seen before.

What kind of bulb is this?
Many thanks

Chris

It's just an led version, looks like it'll be a G9 fitting. If it is it will just pull out and have two oval pins like the image below:

If you try gently and it doesn't pull out it will either be small screw in so twist anti-clockwise or bayonet- push in and slight twist anti-clockwise.
 
Also looking at your existing bulb it appears to have live and neutral connections exposed so power off before before you touch it- I've seen reports of people getting shocks from badly made led bulbs that have live parts exposed
 
The Philips head screws look to be fixing the PCB to the heatsink.

If post #2 doesn't help then post #4 is the most likely scenario and a new fitting is required.
