How to fix circular light bulb? (aussie.zone)

So, there's the circular bulb itself, and also this little removable plastic cylinder with two metal feet on it. How do I tell which of them needs replacing, and what specification to look for to know what to replace it with?

Do we use a glue or cement to join 2 PVC pipes. Its for the reticulation system which will be underground.

How would you transition this? (aussie.zone)

Marble outdoor to internal hardwood. House built in the 60's and i just spent ages clearing up old carpet tack and cement some dickhead had slapped over the floorboards.

It's not even, but hangs around 3cm difference between flooring surfaces. The surrounding walls are original bullnose sideboards in spectacular condition, so would like to be sympathetic.

Ideas? Suggestions?

(Yes i'm treating the rot and putting in a moisture break between the cement and wood)

Not the usual sort of post here, but this one is something I’m familiar with after having bathrooms re-tiled and balconies band-aided (due to be done properly at some stage when I get around to it).
