do you have to take the fixture apart to install a new light when the old one burns out?

Nope! There's enough clearance between the shade and the ceiling to reach your hand in and remove/add bulbs.

You have to take the flat plate covering the bottom of the fixture off to change the bulbs.

You have to unscrew a coupling nut that is connected to a threaded rod. Its not too bad.

Its open but if you use a standard bulb or old fashioned bulb like I used than yes you have to take apart to change bulb. If you use long bulbs you can change with skinny fingers. Hope this hrlped , Drew S.

The instructions that cane with them said you had to re wire the fixture. Remove the starter and balast as they are not needed. I did that and they work great.

if i understand your question correctly, you need to pull the light buld out of the plug in question and plug in the square part from your new light into that socket . The new light uses leds in the center plug and not your old buld. Once vyou pull out the bulb the end of it should look like the square part from the new light .

No you have to use all the wires.Unlike your old ballast when one light went out they both did.This ballast has separate wires for each lamp.Look on the ballast label for the diagram that tells what colored wires go to one tube and what colors for the other.You'll have to clip the wires on one end of the lamp fixture where the two sockets are joined together.TIP: Make sure you leave a generous length of wire coming from the sockets to work with.

There is a screw on top of the light that you have to unscrew. It is removed by hand, no screwdriver required. The light looks nice.

LED modules are not available separately. Usually the entire fixture would need to be replaced.

hi Micheal, I actually returned this item because i thought it was the complete fixture. I bought a different light else wear. I believe on this type of light it just snappes into place. i hope this is helpful.

the entire fixture will need to be replaced. LEDs will last longer than any other type of bulb and they do not get hot so they will last a long time...

I've had mine over a year now, and have not had to change it, but I don't imagine it will be too hard when the time comes. Just spring for a CFL or LED light bulb and you will be ready to change the fixture before the bulb goes out.

Yes. The light comes in 2 pieces. The cast metal fixture portion and the cast metal stake. They thread together

yes, simply unscrew the cover and pull the bulb out. you can purchase the bulbs at any hardware store. PS I have stopped bothering replacing mine as they are very sensitive the slightest bump in the book shelf causes them to burnout. lastly you must were latex gloves were handling the new bulbs because the natural oils on you skin will cause them to burn out very quickly.

No. If you really like this fixture, I suggest you have an electrician install it. I think it's great the way it is ! (swags are over-rated !)

I only replaced the glass part of the fixture, so I didn't have to rewire the whole fixture. I'm afraid my answer isn't going to help you any. But, FYI, I do like the glass part.

If you are referring to the visor (shield) and glass, you can pull it apart from the base. It may take some effort as the fixture is quite snug and has an additional rubber washer ring to prevent moisture from entering the housing. In addition, the fixture should contain instructions.

The metal bracket has to come off. The new bulbs fit flush into the light fixture.

Yes you can, I removed some old fluorescent fixtures just leaving a white black and neutral wire. I think connected these new fixtures, they worked really well, I bought more
