Hello! Does anyone here have experience with Grundtal spots? One of our bulbs burned out, and we’ve already bought new ones, but we can’t figure out how to open the lamps. There are no screws, buttons, or any other indications on how to do it.

HELP!!!

You can probably fix that with a screwdriver.

So, it's actually quite simple, but you need to be a bit careful. Unscrew the housing from the lamp socket, then rotate the glass-metal ring and the socket slightly against each other while pulling gently. If it doesn’t come off right away, first try just rotating the two parts without pulling.

Hello everyone,

can someone explain exactly how to replace the halogen bulb in a "Grundtal lighting strip"?
You can’t grip or turn the ring at all because everything is completely smooth.

I would appreciate any tips.

Carefully remove the metal ring, which is the ring that sits directly above the glass. It’s not easy, but with a bit of patience and some force, it will come loose. The glass will then fall out, allowing you to replace the bulb.

A bit tedious, but it works.
