Can the bulb be replaced, and how do you get the unit open?

What bulb? I would suspect this is a sealed unit and once you break the seal, the unit is nto protected.

There is no light bulb to replace. The light comes from a set of very efficient, very long life LED's. The light is very bright and this unit will probably outlast any other fixture in your home.

Turn the bulb towards you and it should come out. then twist the new one back in.

First of all don't forget to read you TV manual, it will explain on how to step by step. I had to go by the directions in the manual on how to remove the all one and another page to replace the old bulb with the new one. It took a little while to do. Good Luck!

our bulb died shortly after we received it and secura sent us a whole new unit. the bulb looks replaceable if you can actually get a new bulb from secura or elsewhere.

From what we remember, since we got rid of the tv, you open the bottom panel in the front of the tv. You have to pull on both ends to get it off. Once off, there is a square door you open to gain access to the bulb. Do not touch the new bulb with bare hands, use a paper towel or something. Once the old bulb is out you can put the new bulb in. We had problems not buying a bulb from Sony..the plastic cover does not come with generic bulbs. Ours got hot and melted the outer cover that the bulb fits in. I figured we could save money by buying generic but they don't last. We were afraid of fire when we could smell plastic being hot and just got rid of the TV and bought a flat screen TV. Hope this helps. From what we remember, since we got rid of the tv, you open the bottom panel in the front of the tv. You have to pull on both ends to get it off.

My bulbs just went out and I found out that you CANNOT replace them. This is unfortunate because the unit is still useable and I like it. I will have to dispose of it and purchase a new one. Definitely not good service from a product.

It is open at the bottom. You just have to reach up inside and screw the bulb in our out. It is very easy to change unless you have an enormous hand.

The outer diffusing plastic around the bulb just pops off. Try grasping it between your fingers near the bottom of the unit and squeezing that plastic shroud , then pull it off. Be careful as the edges are a little sharp. It might need a little wiggling, especially if it's already installed under a cabinet, but you'll get it. To replace the bulb itself, just twist the bulb at either end until the terminals at each end of the bulb line up with the slot at the top of each socket. You'll feel some resistance as the electrical contacts are springs. Then gently raise the bulb out and install a new one in reverse.

Pretty simple:1) Pry off control top with screw driver. 2) Turn on unit. 3) Observe light location. 4) Remove 3 screws. 5) Clip off little light bulb. 6) Reassemble.

No bulb to replace. Samsung is aware of problems with this model (we have same set) and you might be able to have it repaired under their warranty. FYI the problem is with weak capacitors. Contact the factory, hopefully they will take care of your problem as they did for us. Good Luck !

You have to get access to the back of the light.Take off the rubber cap on the back of the housing, unscrew the small phillips screw and then it should just pull out. Be careful not to touch the glass on the new bulb.

Try here on Amazon. I've had my unit for 3.5 years and haven't had to change my bulb. At one point I thought it was out but after cleaning the unit and the housing unit of the bulb I found that my bulb was still working and continues to work even now.

The specs certainly aren't much help and any directions that came with my unit are long gone. As I remember there is a rubber gasket to seal the unit from moisture. And you could certainly wrap a bit of duct tape around the opening between the bulb and base or some silicone sealer would also work.
