    It’s the small projects around the house that’s hard for me. To small to hire a handyman and I can usually fix it if I know how. RUclips has been a big help. Thanks for the information and for posting this.

      Craig, thank you. Your comment made my day!
      Let me know what other projects you like to see, and I will see whether I have the resource to do it.

      am a 67yr old young lady and do all my things myself ( No electrical) - my husband does not want to read directions. It runs in his family... RUclips is the ticket! Thank you RUclips!

    This may seem pretty obvious to some people, but if you did not know that there is a tab holding the dome to the outer fixture, and you just need to twist it, it could cause you to break your light fixture! Some of these things "Snap" together, so I thought this was helpful information! Thank you!

    Omg thank you for this how to video. My husband recently passed away. He took care of everything regarding our home. I’m all alone and a couple of days ago my MBR shower had 2 bulbs go out. I’ve been debating to call a handyman but your video literally saved me a lot of money. A handyman would’ve cost me over $100 on a 10 min job. God bless you 🙏

      Sorry your husband passed. Yes you CAN do it with RUclips! By the way- I saw a post in my area of someone hiring. an electrical co. to come to their home to change out a few bulbs in a 20 foot plus ceiling with a pole and ladder. ( I too had a ceiling like that at one time and we loved using dimmers- and in 19 years we never had to change a bulb there. They charged the people hundreds of dollars!!! Ask first always!

    Thanks for showing this. I tried turning it in place but nothing happened. I did not realize you have to pull it down and then turn the inner portion. Now I do.
    My wife will be pleased if I get this done.

    very helpful, but need to talk about the type bulb you use for replacement. Keep the lumens the same as the original (300 in mine). If you put a bulb with higher lumens there is a fire hazard risk as the bulb is enclosed in the can.

    @dofzion1998 3 года назад +3

    Thank you for this! Am I able to put any type of bulb in this? I noticed the one that previously went out had an auto shut off? If I forgot to turn the light off then it would cut off by itself? If I flipped the switch off and then turn it back on then the light would come back on immediately. Maybe it’s not the bulb but the way the electrical was designed???

    • @travelingtrex4897
      @travelingtrex4897  3 года назад

      I would also think the auto shutoff should be controlled by the switch and not the light bulb, unless it’s a new type of light bulb I am not aware of. Let me know how it turns out.

      @dofzion1998 2 года назад

      @@deryckszatkowski5284 no I have not! I think it has to do with the wattage of the bulb maybe
      because once I replaced the bulb i now have to wait for the light to come back on too. Doesn’t come back on immediately. So I’m not real sure! If you find out the answer to this please let me know, because it’s mildly irritating.

The cover should come off and you can replace the bulb. When put the cover back on you just have to make sure to push it in the same direction as you pulled it out and it should clip right up. You’ll see what I mean when you got it pull out by squeeze the springs that we’re holding it.
