Are you sure you have the right bulb for the socket? Mine just snaps in with a push and stays in by itself. I haven't had to do anything with it since I put it in and it's working great.

No, that's part of the bulb and needs to stay in place. As I remember there was a warning in the directions not to remove it, but just to be sure, I checked my light bulb and that part is in there.

For simple replacement, you just line up the prongs on both sides of the bulb and the lamp socket, slide in, and twist gently about a fourth of turn or so. The bulb will light up when it is twisted into the right spot.

There is a white ring that is on the inside of the shade. Twist that off. Then put the shade against the lamp. Screw the ring back on. Insert bulb. Tada!

You can screw a 3-way bulb into the socket, but it shorted out very quickly. Actually, I bought two. The second one is still working with the lower wattage 3-way bulb. I never tried the higher wattage bulb.

The base is for a standard bulb, but this in not a light. It requires a bulb to be screwed into the socket.

The balast is under the center metal cover between the bulbs. Squeeze the cover and it will come loose.

Turn the power to the fixture off. If you have the bulb exposed, you typically rotate the entire tube 90 degrees so that the prongs on the tube line up with the slots in the fixture. Then, carefully work the prongs out of the slots. Often, the prongs are rough or the fixture has rough surfaces, so it may not come out smoothly. If you are looking at the lens on the exterior of the fixture, you usually have to take it off to get to the bulb. There is really no way to explain all the possible ways the lenses come off the many types of fixtures, but you usually have to bend the lens slightly then pull out one side that may insert into a groove or may have tabs.

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. The outer diffusing plastic around the bulb just pops off.

It's smaller than the socket. I put mine on top of the socket so it will take any size bulb. Hope this helps. PS: it is to small to screw onto the socket itself.

There is a metal clip surrounding the socket base that is slightly larger. For typical lamp applications you would remove that clip, insert the black socket base through a hole sized just slightly larger. Then reattach the clip which holds the socket in place. No, as stated previously, the plug is molded to the wire.

The end cap (opposite end from light bulb) should twist off. I had one that required the use of a pliers and clamp to get off.

You just push it down on the hole and until the tabs snap into place. As for the bulb you have to take the bulb holder and reach up behind the bumper, placing it into the hole then rotate it a bit until it locks in.

Pull the cover down and unplug it. There is a screw on the back side holding the back cover on. Remove the back cover and the bulbs are inside of it.

Hold the plastic at each end of the bulb and twist, it should come right out.

Try and wet the suction cup a little to get it to stick to the light bulb. That is how I did it.

hold on to both socket and light and jiggle and pull straight out until the light plug slips out of the socket
