Old light globe needs replacing , I need some idea of what replaces it in this day and age please.
Hi @DavidFg,
The base of your lightbulb has snapped off in the fitting, which creates a bit of an issue because we need to remove it both in order to know what kind of bulb to replace it with and for the new bulb to go into the fitting.
Due to the electrical risk that is present, I would suggest you contact an electrician for their assistance with removing the base from the fitting. It is never worth taking risks around electrical fittings like this.
Once the base has been removed, it will give us a better idea of what lightbulb can be used to replace it. It will either be an edison screw or bayonet bulb.
If it is an edison screw bulb, then you can use either this https://www.bunnings.com.au/philips-a60-e27-led-700lm-6w-warm-white-globe-2-pack_p0122025 or this https://www.bunnings.com.au/philips-a60-e27-led-700lm-cool-daylight-6w-globe-2-pack_p0122027 , both of which are 6W, but as they are LED lights, they have a 65W equivalent output, which will be similar to what was there before.
If it is a bayonet bulb, then you could use either the https://www.bunnings.com.au/philips-a60-b22-led-700lm-warm-white-6w-globe-2-pack_p0122028 or the https://www.bunnings.com.au/philips-a60-b22-led-700lm-cool-daylight-6w-globe-2-pack_p0122030 , which are also 6W with a 65W equivalent output.
Warm white is a soft yellow light, typically used in cozy environments like living rooms, bedrooms and dining area, where you want to create a relaxed feel. Cool daylight is more of a white light which is used in work environments such as offices, kitchens and workshops.
Hopefully this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
Jacob
Cheers for that
Good morning @DavidFg
I would turn off the power and lighting at the fuse box and then using a cork, champagne cork would be best, push firmly into the light socket and twist gently. if it has siezed and wnt budge then you will need an electrician to replace the whole unit most likely (same types are sometimes hard to come by)
