We have a Hampton Bay Ceiling fixture with three mini spot lights. One of the bulbs has blown out and needs to be replaced. However, we are having a problem doing this. There is no room for us to get our hands around the bulb to remove it. The bulbs have 2 prongs that fit into the base and twist to lock.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Cat

If possible spray some WD40 into the socket, with the power OFF. This may help, along with using a rubber sheet, those used to open jar lids, to help grip the face of the lamp.

Before installing a new lamp, coat the base with WD40, this will help removal later on.
