How to Change a Light Bulb

Simply follow the easy steps below, as well as you will be able to change an inc as well as escent bulb with ease.

1. Look at the light that is currently in the socket to see what wattage, shape as well as size it is. The wattage will usually be written on the glass end of the bulb. Often, there will be a wattage indicator (on a sticker, for instance) near the bulb socket. This is probably a better resource to use when deciding which wattage bulb to choose. Someone might already have placed the wrong bulb in your socket!
2. Go to the store as well as buy the same watt bulb that you currently have in.
3. Make sure that the switch is turned off.
4. Unscrew (remember, righty tighty, lefty loosey) the burnt out bulb as well as dispose of properly.
5. Screw in the new bulb. Do not over-tighten or press on the bulb too hard.
6. Turn on the light switch as well as you should be good to go.

• Use extreme caution when working with glass.

• Make sure the switch is off first. If not, you risk being shocked.
