one of my bulbs broke inside the spot. the bulb and silver section with the wires came out but the plastic at the back stays in. How do i remove it?

Needle nose or even regular pliers. When unplugged. Grab by one ode of the white ends lift up and pull out.

There is a cardboard Tear Here spot. If you tear the cardboard open there, the plastic clamshell just opens right up and you can lift the bulb out. At least that's how mine were packaged.

The wire and glass diffuser can come off together with a twist. Fairly easy. My bulbs last about 6 months with regular daily use.

I believe you can remove the lens by prying it up at the slotted portion and then replace the bulb.

You can replace the bulb if your handy but you have to cut the wires and replace the crimped wire attachments. Ive had two bulbs go. The problem I see is a design flaw that doesn't protect the bulb from splattering. Halogen bulbs are very sensitive to oils. Both times it has burned out after my wife cooked bacon. Loved using it but until they fix that issue its going to be tough to keep a bulb in it for long

Unscrew it! Sometimes they do become difficult to twist because of the proximity to heat and grease buildup. Clean the glass bulb as well as you can and grab something like a rubber grip jar lid remover and push slightly against the bulb and twist.

Hi. I just went in and removed the bulb to make sure. First unscrew the cover over the bulb. Next you have to have strong fingers but push the bulb and turn it until you feel it loosen up. It does not completely unscrew out of the socket. When you feel it's loose turn the unit upside down and the bulb should fall out. Once this happens you will see how the bulb is held in the socket. Hope this helps.

You can take an old or burnt out bulb, carefully remove the glass but do not remove the center terminal, then solder the red lead of the wire ended adapter to the center, and solder the black wire to the brass outer surface and you have an adapter that will work.

Honestly I don't know how to replace bulbs and I just checked it, yeah, I can't take the bulb off. It's built inside. I have two of these lamps, and I've been using them for 2 years. They are still strong.

Try to push on end of the holder. If I remember correctly, it is spring loaded and with a little force should move back releasing the bulb.

Just goggle and order the bulb off line . Take the back off where it says bulb. And replace . Just use a cloth to pull it out and put it in. It takes seconds

When I removed my old burned out bulb the glass pulled out. When I replace it again (I own 2 of these type desklights) I am going to try pulling the "Base" and not the bulb. BTW: One of the suggestions is to use soft cloth when handling the glass part to prevent the oil from your fingers from tainting the light emission. ALSO .... The base is "Crimped" together and it "Will" pull apart. That also happened to me.

If it's on the housing, it should be fine. I didn't take anything off. If it's actually on the clear surface over the bulb, I'd remove it.

Mine had a soft foam sleeve as well that had to be removed before turning on the light. There was no plastic on the bulb! Could some small pieces of the foam packaging could have stuck to the bulb and melted?

All you do is unthread the bottom black piece and the glass comes off. Change bulbs, and thread it back together. Less than 3 minutes to complete entire process.

You just need to be able to access the two screws on either side of the light housing that the mounting bracket attaches to. It also holds the glass lens assembly into the housing. remove those, and you will be able to pull out the glass housing. The bulb unclips from the rear of the glass housing.

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