How do I remove the glass covering the light to change the blub?

I use a flathead screwdriver and pry it off. There are 3 little pieces that hold it in. I found the first time that I need to be more aggressive than I thought was safe, but it came off with no damage. Just work the screwdriver around the outside metal ring and you'll get it off.

While you can remove the plastic assembly by unscrewing the little black Phillips head screw on the front face of the light, it is a troublesome process that -- after purchasing the battery and fiddling with replacing it -- isn't worth it.I've gone through three Photon lights, and purchasing a new one for 10 bucks every year or so isn't a big deal to me.

The glass part of the light cover screws off like a lid on a jar. Just use your fingers to rotate the glass part and it should come off

Hi Janice, the glass has adhesive tape on the back. It wasn't difficult to change out. I used a hair dryer to get the old glass off. Be Sure to take the old glass off someplace where you can capture all the shards, I'm still finding glass splinters months later. Any ways take your time and good luck! Benjamin

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.

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.

See p.8 of the instruction manual, re installing the light bulb & glass shade. To remove the shade, take the reverse steps taken for installation , i.e. turn the glass shade counterclockwise, then pull it down away from the fan housing to install the new 100W halogen bulb into the socket.

It isn't worth trying to take the lens off the metal. I only needed the lens too, but the whole thing changes with two screws. Just take the bulb out, take the two screws lose or out and put the new lens in place and put the screws back in, put the bulb back in and your done.

In my past experience, the lighting fixture has some form of a glass cover that slides in and out - slide it back towards you - which should expose the bulbs. Make sure light off (the fixture will also likely have a switch) - it's bright to look directly at the exposed bulbs (if they are on). Try not to touch the replacement bulb with your fingers (packaging also denotes). Replace bulb, slide glass back into the clips and viola, let there be light!

Light bulb replacement is not easy, have to take the glass frame off. It is doable, just takes patience.

Turn off the unit (unplug). On the outside of the unit there is a center round plastic piece that holds the bulb. Turn it counterclockwise until it releases and then pull it out. The bulb just pushes in and pulls out of the socket. Wrap the bulb with a clean heavy rag in case the glass would break. Plug in the new bulb - again use a rag as you don't want to get finger oils/any dirt on the bulb. Put the bulb and socket back in, turn clockwise till it stops and plug in.

Janet,I have no idea where to buy replacement blubs. The lantern contained no instructions. I'm still can't figure out how to open the lantern. Good luck.

Remove two set screws, remove metal cage, unscrew glass globe, change bulb... Its pretty easy, i need to access my lighting fixture from a ladder and had no problems

I have had several bulb burnouts, likely because they are halogen and burn hotter. To replace the bulb, first remove the glass cover by twisting the cover to unlock. This is not easy and I spent a while trying to dislodge the glass cover. Once the cover is removed, the bulb screws out like any normal bulb and can be replaced easily. The problem for me was I could not locate the bulb at a local warehouse, so I order several online, now I have replacements on hand. Halogen JD type, Mini Candelabra E11 100 Watt

There's a screw on each side, left and right, undo those and remove the cover. Then, it's just one of those high-intensity, halogen bulbs inside. It's not horribly hard nor super easy, but with the halogen bulb it doesn't need to be done very often. HTH.
