Triple Light Fitting - One Broken

[rolaine]

I have a triple spotlight in my kitchen. One bulb blew recently, and now no bulb will work in that socket. I tried the new bulb in the other two sockets and it works fine, so I guess there's a problem with that one socket. Can this be fixed (and would it be a safe and easy DIY job for a layman), or do I need to replace the whole triple fitting?

might be repairable depending on why its stopped working, or might be cheaper to replace it

Just smash it with a hammer and buy an led fitting

If they are screw in 'ES' spot lamps then it may be just the springy metal contacts inside the connector that need tweeking out a bit to make a connection with the new lamp....

They can often lose their springyness with age and heat etc from when the lamp has been on.

I was about to say that.

MAKE SURE the lighting circuit is turned completely off before you go poking around inside the light fitting to investigate.

If its not that a new cheap fitting  costs less than £15
