How to replace a light bulb by yourself?
We do not recommend anyone without prior experience to change the bulb themself. However, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to replace a light bulb (please keep safety at top-most priority):
Turn off the power: Before you begin, switch off the power to the light fixture. You can do this by turning off the corresponding circuit breaker or unscrewing the bulb if it’s accessible.
Allow the bulb to cool: If the light was on recently, give the bulb some time to cool down. Hot bulbs can be fragile and may break if handled immediately after use.
Use a ladder if needed: If the light fixture is high up, use a stable ladder to reach it safely. Make sure the ladder is positioned securely and that you have a clear view of the bulb.
Remove the old bulb: Gently twist the old bulb counterclockwise to unscrew it from the socket. Be careful not to apply too much force, as you don’t want to break the bulb or damage the socket.
Insert the replacement bulb: Take the new bulb and insert it into the socket. Twist it clockwise to secure it in place. Make sure it’s snug but not overtightened.
Switch on the power: Turn the power back on using the circuit breaker or by flipping the light switch. Test the new bulb to ensure it’s working properly.
Dispose of your old bulb: If the old bulb is not reusable, dispose of it properly. Check local regulations for guidelines on recycling or disposing of light bulbs.
Remember to check the size and wattage of the replacement bulb to ensure compatibility with your fixture. If you’re unsure, we at Happyness ARBA Technical Services are always ready to provide you the assistance. Click Here to book an appointment.
