⚠️ Safety First!

Before replacing a bulb:

🔧 Step-by-Step Bulb Replacement Procedure

1. Turn Off Power

Switch off the light at the wall. If you're replacing a ceiling or high-voltage bulb, turn off the main breaker for extra safety.

2. Let the Bulb Cool

Wait a few minutes to avoid burns if the bulb was just on.

3. Remove the Old Bulb

For screw-type bulbs, turn counter-clockwise. For bayonet-type, push in gently and twist. Use gloves if the bulb is hot or broken.

4. Install the New Bulb

Insert the new bulb carefully:

  - For screw-type, twist clockwise until snug.

  - For bayonet-type, push in and twist into place.

5. Test the New Bulb

Turn the power back on and flip the switch to ensure the bulb is working properly.

✅ Final Tips

- Use the correct wattage to avoid overheating.

- If the bulb keeps blowing, there may be a wiring fault – contact a qualified electrician.
