Can anyone tell me what kind of tool I need, to open this? It's an outdoor light fitting and i need to change the bulb. Thanks in advance :)

Thank you, Judy :) It's too stormy to climb up a ladder to reach it now, but I am confident I will open it, thanks to all the helpful advice!

It took me a while to identify it as globe. I first thought it to be the front part of bullet having pierced the metal..then looking at the image more closely and reading the post I realized my brain application is not needed on this one.

@vandana7 LOL Vanny, your brain application is always welcome! I'm not quite getting the mention of 'globe'. I saw a couple of people mention it, and I thought it would be pedantic of me to correct them. This is an electric bulb under a glass cover. For me a globe means an orb or ball-shaped object. Maybe there's another meaning of this word I'm unaware of. Hey it's not that important

I think that the best is to watch the video suggested by @pgntwo, no need to buy a special screwdriver.

@NormanDarlo We still have a warm weather and no rain. Pretty weird for a month of October.

@LadyDuck That's nice. Which part of CH are you in?

Yep. There's been lots of good advice forthcoming. Now I just have to wait for the weather to calm down, so I can dare to climb that ladder!

Usually, what you cannot open with screw drivers and other tools are fixed by pressing them to fit in. Let me call somebody who might know something about it. @pgntwo... YOU ARE WANTED CRIMINAL.

You called?
This is a bit of a throwback video -- I made it a long time ago but just didn't get around to uploading it. Hopefully it'll be useful to anyone who gets caug...

I watched that video clip, that guy sounds very good. I will try that tip too (I like fixing things around my place by myself!). Good luck to your globe/bulb changing.
