replAcinG liGht bulbs
Before replacing a bulb, be sure the light is off. Do not touch the glass part of the new bulb
with your bare ngers. The skin oil left on the glass will evaporate when the bulb gets hot,
the vapor will condense on the reector and it will dim the surface.
Replacement light bulbs must be of the type, voltage and wattage listed on the lamp xture.
Use of incorrectly sized bulbs can overload lam circuits and may create a re hazard by
overheating the xture.
