How to change light bulb? please see picture..?

This is the first time I've had to change this light since we moved in, but I can't get my fingers around it to turn it and it almost seems stuck. Is there a trick to removing these types of bulbs? Thanks for any suggestions!!

Put a rubber glove or surgical glove if you have one, Then with that palm of your hand turn counter clockwise. Once you get it to turn, then use your fingers. To install do the reverse, but don;t snug it, so you don't have trouble next time.How to change light bulb? please see picture..?
i hav those type spots in my study most of these are spring loaded,pull outside of cover straight down it will extend down so you can reach it better,good luck
Make sure the light has been off so it isn't hot. All you do is press up on the bulb with your fingertips while you rotate it counter clockwise.
Remove the trim around the recessed light and you can change the bulb. It should just pull down, sort of ';unsnap'; from the housing of the light. Be gentle...
put your palm flat on the bulb, apply sum pressure and twist... if that doesn't work do the same think but with something sticky, like tape on your hand
you get a rubber sucker when you buy the lights

if you dont have it, get a piece of blu tac, quite big and put it on the flat of the bulb, push up and twist it off, it will comeout
As an ex supplier of these lamps (they are called gu10's) , you should have a black sucker. I suggest either, blu tac on the lamp face and turn anti clock wise about a quarter turn, failing that, take the fitting out of the ceiling, 2 spring clips hold it in (just watch fingers) and you can dismantle the lamp then.

Good Luck
