How do you change the light bulbs? Do you have to unattach the crystal strands every time? Thanks!

I imagine that you would have to remove 2 or 3 only. I have not done it yet

Probably. They are just hooks at the top so they're easy to take on and off.

Yes, to changr the light bulbs , you need to undo one to three crystals from bottom. It's very simple. The light is so gorgeous, it is more than worth it. It's less time than it would take to take a lamp shade off to change a light bulb.

Hi Jacquelyn these bulbs are really ease to change they have those led mini bulbs in them and you just pull it out and replace with another bulb, and stick it back into the hole and your are back on line, I think that you will not have much trouble with changing these bulbs out. I hope this helps your decision on purchasing these lights because my husband really likes them. Millissa

It is not easy to replace the lightbulbs. First you have to remove the 4 screws holding the frame and cover. You need to plug in the new neon and snap it in the tracks. Then you need to put back the cover, frame and 4 screws. It comes down to the very naked base I guess. Other neon lights such as rectangular, usual kitchen ones with long neons are much easier to take apart, with no additional screws.

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.

I put a chandelier bulb in the one I ordered (before) realizing the damage to the crystal could not be repaired. Item was returned. Good luck with yours.

Replacing the bulb is a snap, just unscrew a little knob in front and the glass comes right off. I have a 20 watt cfl in there and it's been fine for the last 4 months without being shut off once. You could probably go brighter, but I like the softer light since it's right next to my door.

Hi Jane, This is a brand new machine and I hope I don't need to replace them for along time. They are flouresent so should last for years. Based on the last one my wife had the bulbs out lasted the sliding mechanism to adjust the lighting. She has owned several of these over theyears and never had to replace the bulbs.Hope that answers the concerns. Please give me a helpful vote if it did.

Honestly I never tried to change them since I just got them but when installing I dropped the bolt inside and when I tried to open the light there's no skrew or anything to open. I really hope I can change the light. I am sure you can

The set I bought does not - I change the lighting by switching off one half of a set (there are two switches that control two bulbs) or by moving the lights closer or farther away - you could also use softening or colored gels.

Hello there!As a fellow poster M. Baird said, using your finger you firmly tap the silver base. NOT too hard, but firmly tap it. These lamps have 3 light settings which get brighter each time you tap the silver metal base of the lamp. I ordered this 2-lamp set, but one of the lamps was defective, so I had to send them back. But they were what I wanted. I will probably order them again at some point. These lamps give off great light. Better than I expected.Good Luck. I think you'll really love these small lamps which give off GREAT light!

I have had mine setup for maybe a month and had one of the bulbs go already - was easy to replace. The wires are in the way but just move them aside and screw in the bulb like normal.

Hi, I wish I had the answer for you, but I'm not sure. All I know is that it's a beautiful chandelier and even if you had to re-wire it, it might be worth it. But spend the little extra and get the real crystals (I did) and I don't regret it. :o) GOOD LUCK!

They're not that easy to change. You have to take the whole thing apart to get to the bulb.

I have not had to replace any of the bulbs. I should think an electrical/lighting supply house can provide new bulbs. That said, it has been my experience, each time a lamp goes out it is the result of a wire shorting to ground. The wires are routed from the electrical driver to the bulb through the bulb mounting plate. The holes are very small. It seems these wires are particularly vulnerable to chafing and abrasion.

Use plier, you will need strong hands. To connect the balls, use the triangle wires, use plier open it widen the ends so they each hook on to each opening of the crystal ball. To hand string with ball to light fixture, use plier to hook the end of the string to the smaller wire and then hook it to the light fixture. Before doing anything else, double check that the light fixture has the same number of hooks in each row and are evenly spaced out. Ous was not, and we had already finished everything, thrown away box, so we could not return it. Now every time I look at it I get annoyed because one if the rows is not evenly spaced out and it is noticeable when you are directly below it looking up. Too late for us, so check yours.
