How to replace the standard bathroom/kitchen light bulb

---

1. Purchase a replacement

Different building blocks feature different types of lighting.
One common bathroom/kitchen light bulb used is the PL-T 4P 18W

​2. Switch off the electricity and check the fittings are not hot to touch.
(Never attempt to change or inspect a light fitting if there is a notable level of moisture in the air or water in the basin/bath)

3. Turn the metal cover anti-clockwise.

Be cautious the glass cover may not be secured inside the metal cover.

​If the glass falls to the ground it may break!  - replacements are hard to find.

The glass has a sharp end.

4. Using one or two fingers pull down the reflector.

Removing the reflector helps access to the bulb.

You should now have full access to the bulb for replacement.

5. With a reasonable grip pull the bulb downwards.

Warning: Protect your hands and eyes! It has been known for a bulb to 'breakup' with small fragments falling.

6. Install your new light bulb.


Remember to reinstall all the parts correctly before switching the electricity back on and test the bulb.
