Dismantle bulkhead light

Anyone please have experience of opening one of these common 'twist on' fittings to access the bulb.

As far as I remember you just apply an extra twisting force although maybe in the opposite direction to that for switching it on.

It helps if you push the glass towards the base as you twist the glass beyond its usual stopping point

Yes, press and turn.

Press hard and turn.

If one way doesn't work, turn it the opposite way.

Be grateful it doesn't currently fall out on your head when just turning it on and off...

Many thanks all.Done the trick - but don't ask me which rotation succeeded .
