    I've tried twisting it both clockwise and anti clockwise. I've shouted at it, sworn at it, it won't budge.

    The bulb has gone but can I chuff work out how it comes off.

    Is that bottom bit a different colour or material or anything? If it is try twisting that instead of the whole thing

    That's the next idea. I've shouted at it in both English and German but to no success.

    I thought it might be. God knows where it always comes from.

    Try sliding the whole thing to one side or another?

    Just pull it down firmly and it will un-clip.


    Or it will come away from the ceiling allowing you to fit a new one ;)

    I didn't want to use too much force in case I ended up with a new ceiling as well! But it did FINALLY come off. What a kerfuffle.

    It is the stalactite version of one of many of the Barnsley Scoreboard lights.

    It doesn't come off, doesn't illuminate and will never be repaired.

    Soz.
