What housing do Aurora AU-GUF4011 Bulbs Use?

[asurfaceinbetween]

Hi,

Have recently moved into a place and need to replace some AU-GUF4011 bulbs. Unfortunately the main part of the housing is still in the ceiling but the clips with the springs that hold the bulbs in place are missing. Does anyone know what they're called or where I can buy replacements?

Thanks

Do you mean these? Photos might help

There are different kinds.
Some just fit in a groove all the way round and
some have a little kink which fits into a slot.

It's these, not the bulb but the bit with the springs.

That looks like part of the light fitting, nothing to do with the lamp.

If you can pull a fitting down gently you may be able to find a manufacturers name/model number but it looks like a terrible design.

Does the lamp not stay in place without that spring around it?

It might be easier to just find a washer that fits around the cap of the lamp and drill some holes for some little springs

This is what the light looks like when in the ceiling. The previous picture shows the inner ring part, which screws in, so I don't think I would be able to replace just with any washer.

If that bottom ring stays in place without the spring/washer, then I wouldn't worry about it. It looks like it's just to hold the lamp into the ring, which isn't strictly necessary.

No, that whole part holds the light bulb into the fitting. Here's what it looks like without that part. The bulb just hangs out.

You wont get the bezel, unless you get the whole fitting.
Aurora are more of a a fitting maker and possibly stuck there name on someone elses lamps, so its likely an aurora fitting, as someones said the fitting proberly has a model number on it.
The fitting would be possibly about a fiver on its own, but likely sold with that aurora cfl lamp so possibly about 15 pound

Oh I didn't realise it was the ENTIRE white ring, I thought it was just the springs and washer that were missing.

Yea, as Rocky has said, you're gonna have to replace the entire fitting. May as well replace them with something more current whilst you are, either LED GU10 lamps, or just an entire LED fitting.
