Now that incandescent light bulbs are illegal what happens when you need to change the light bulb?

The light bulb is halogen and it is reported to have a life span of 4000 hrs. It is replaceable with a designated halogen light bulb from Phillips.

Nothing. Nothing in the wiring touches ground, and external to the bulb, all the wiring is AC, so it should work normally and not hurt anything.

You can use a regular light bulb---or the new ones, spiral kind, have used both.

I have not had to replace any of the bulbs. I should think an electrical/lighting supply house can provide new bulbs. That said, it has been my experience, each time a lamp goes out it is the result of a wire shorting to ground. The wires are routed from the electrical driver to the bulb through the bulb mounting plate. The holes are very small. It seems these wires are particularly vulnerable to chafing and abrasion.

I haven't needed to change the bulb, but I do believe that they are changeable. My mechanic sourced these lights for me. I don't think he would have told me to buy them if you couldn't replace the bulb.

You will have to hard-wire it into your electrical/switch, just like a light bulb.

I took it off and works fine. I think the temperature of bulb would melt it.

There would be no bulbs to replace because the lighting mechanism uses an LED. I don't know if you can replace LED's.

U gotta manually take the old bulb out of the box and replace it with just the bulb alone. It's marked without the box for a cheaper price. If u want to buy it with the box u gotta seach for it and pay a little extra. It's way easy to replace tho.

Yes you will eventually need to replace bulbs... You can probably order them directly from the manufacturer.

yes, the light bulb is replaceable. A lighting store should have the bulb or order it for you if you supply the model number, etc.

The bulbs are not replaceable...you must replace the fixture if the bulb fails.

Having changed both the bulb and light engine, change the bulb when the picture fades or cuts out completely; change the light engine (dlp chip) when you see little white dots. The bulb doesn't emit pixels; that's the job of the light engine (the dlp chip)

NO, I bought this based on the previous answer but I didn't get the joke. Now I am sending it back. I want to be able to replace the bulbs.

If it's LED based, then you can't replace the bulb because there isn't one. If it doesn't light up, it's hard to say why. It sounds defective. Check with the manufacturer.

It replaces you existing light bulb so this is how it works. Hope this helps.

No, the unit doesn't have to be replaced, simply replace the light bulb. In fact, the unit doesn't come with a light bulb, you can get the one that is specified at Home Depot.
