Under Cabinet Lights

by saki » Tue May 27, 2025 1:59 pm

Hoping someone can advise me on these brushed steel triangular under cabinet lights. First, the bulbs are 12v two prongs and I recall you should not handle them with your fingers. I need to know make/type to see if I can buy replacements. Second, any advice on how to get into the bulb container. That is why I cannot attach a photo of the bulbs.

The lamps are probably g4 capsule lamps. They are usually like ceiling down lights, you slip something thin and blunt under the edge moving it round and pulling gently as you go. WATCH out for the butterfly springs, it hurts if they snap on your fingers.
