I found they used to blow quite a lot,

for whatever reason though, I have not had to change one in the bathroom for a while now, ??? not sure why that is, wonder if dougie bought a diff brand of bulb?

hello we have these awful things in our extension too and guess what there are presently 4 not working and we havent changed them as I flaming cant get the old bulbs out !!!!

you can get a wee sucker thing but thats not even working on them !!!

good luck !!! ( incidentally you shouldnt have to change them that often ) I stil have the original ones in our kitchen and they have been in there for 4 years !!!!
