    A G9 bulb is stuck in the wall lamp in the bathroom. There are two of them - one comes out smoothly, the other is getting stuck and won't come out. Do you have any advice on what to do (apart from replacing all equipment).

    Apparently, some dust or a speck of glass has entered between the bulb and the holder, there is no other option than pulling it out of the holder by force (but you should do it so that it does not break in your fingers, or through some thicker glove so as not to injure yourself). If it is really impossible to remove the bulb from the holder, it remains to replace the holder.

    It's strange what happened because some time ago I changed this bulb and then it came out and the new one came in without a problem. And now it holds and it cannot be moved - it may move by 2 mm and that's it.

    And maybe a friend can see if the bulb holder in this lamp is ceramic or did not the small Chinese handles come up with the idea of installing a holder made of some plastic?

    It looks rather plastic. Theoretically, the frame can be unscrewed, but here is also a problem because one of the screws holding it is damaged and the screwdriver does not catch it.

    If the lampholder is plastic, it may have melted and that is why now the bulb does not want to go out. Frames of this type should only be ceramic, but the Chinese have different ideas :D

    Turn off the power, check for no voltage 3 times, then tear with flat tongs.

    It turned out that one "leg" of the bulb got caught somewhere inside the luminaire. After disassembling the entire lamp with forcibly pulling it out, the luminaire itself was also damaged, so I completely dismantled it (I used a drill, because as I wrote earlier - one of the screws was damaged and it was impossible to unscrew it) and now I use only one instead of two bulbs. I tried to find a replacement fitting in stores, but there were no such small ones for the G9 (the G4 was the right size).

Topic summary

A G9 bulb is jammed in a bathroom wall lamp, with one bulb easily removable while the other is stuck. Possible causes include dust or glass debris between the bulb and holder, or a melted plastic holder. Suggestions include using gloves to pull the bulb out, checking the material of the holder, and ensuring power is turned off before attempting removal. The user ultimately had to disassemble the lamp due to a broken screw and found that one leg of the bulb was caught inside the fixture, leading to damage. They are now using only one bulb and are struggling to find a suitable replacement fitting for the G9 bulb.
