what does twist and lock mean? Do i need to buy an adapter to screw them in to my light socket?

It means it is the same as equvalent halogen. No adaptor needed if you are buying correct base bulb for your fixture.

The GU10 base has two posts. It only fits in a GU10 socket. It is not a threaded screw-in bulb.

This is MR16/GU10 size/socket. U should search for screw on type light bulb for your fixture.

Hi Karl Yes, my light also has the same configuration. Not sure what the additional hole is for but there is a corresponidng hole in my light socket. I think some light poles and sockets have 3 pins, presumably for additional power or lighting options. Alternatively it just may be to allow water to drain out so that water doesn't build up and short out the wiring. Regards Rob

They are a standard light bulb screw size so they should fit in any standard (E27) socket you already have. However they are longer than a normal bulb, so if your light fixture has a cover or something, you may need to check for clearance issues.

Hello.They look more more difficult than they really are.They give you multiple adapters so when you pop your lens off of your dome light you can tell which one you will need.You take your bulb out and replace it with the adapter that fits then plug the light into the adapter.If it doesn't work turn the adapter around.Then peel the backing off of the light and stick it.hope this helps..

The lamps twist in/out. There is a ring that surrounds the top of the bulb opening. Unscrew that first, which will give you the ability to twist the light out of the socket. The bulbs twist movement is subtle and not like a typical household fixture that you unscrew. I believe the base is considered a GU10. I replaced them with LED bulbs and am very happy with those.

It's not a twist lock but these plugs are normally hard to pull out. The one I have takes some effort to pull out.

For simple replacement, you just line up the prongs on both sides of the bulb and the lamp socket, slide in, and twist gently about a fourth of turn or so. The bulb will light up when it is twisted into the right spot.

Connector plugs in 180 degrees of original bulb. You have to shave off some of the locating tabs on the bulb itself to get it to plug in. The connector doesn't lock in, but i've been running em awhile with no issues.

Looks like a round screw on fitting that holds shade in place and then you put bulb into socket. If you need I might take a photo of inside of shade with bulb already in place.

I believe the knob acts as a nut, so I'm sure you could replace it with a regular nut. Not sure who would want to steal a light bracket, though, as long as you take the light with you.

Just grab the bulb and slightly twist it clockwise until it comes out. Then get the new bulb, align it, then twist it back counter clockwise to where it was.

It sounds like you don't have the little suction tool that comes with the light fixture (at least the one I bought did). It is very hard without this tool. I would suggest if you can't get it out as the other responders suggest then find a small suction cup that will fit and stick on the face of the bulb then twist CCW and it should come right out. Good luck!

You need to replace the whole fixture with these. They are not the ones that attach to the socket. They need to be wired to a light switch. Save your money and just buy a LED bulb for your pull chain. These are not good lights.

Each string of hanging lights were twist-tied together. I just stretched out the main line that all were attached to then separated the bunches one at a time (10 bunches). To maintain you sanity make sure you have a lot of space when you're separating. I saved the twist ties for when I took it down. I made sure I plugged them in and tried them on each setting to ensure that all the lights and settings were working before untangling.

Update. They do have a twist lock. A small key is included to stick in the hole of one side of knob in case the door is accidentally locked and nobody is in the room. I would reccommend to keep the key above the door trim.

One reason these might stick is due to excessive heat. Make sure the bulb and fixture is all the way cooled down before you wrestle with it. Expect to have to give it a good twist for it to release, the heat can almost weld it into place. Since the bulb is dead, don't worry about touching the glass. But don't touch the glass on new bulbs! Because they get super hot, any amount of oil from your fingers will kill them within a short amount of use. Also, there are 2 different kinds of these bulbs, one kind twist locks in and another just plugs straight in. If you push the twist lock bulbs into the plugs they will jam. You can work them loose with jiggling or crush the glass with pliers and pull out the pieces. It's not elegant but it's the only way to free the prongs. Hope this helps.

No that was what I thought before to get it...is a simple bulb light..that you have to conected to a regular socket.I returned back..
