How to Replace a Halogen Lightbulb
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июн 2024
- When replacing halogen lightbulbs the main thing to remember is when you’re installing the new bulb to not touch it with your fingers because the oils on your fingertips will make the bulb burn out prematurely. So, grab a pair of gloves, tissue paper, or a paper towel When handling and installing the bulb.

Thanks for this! I watched your video and then did it myself. I have two lights that use 3 halogen bulbs in each fixture. About 5 years ago, one of the halogens burned out and I'm just now getting around to replacing it. I kept putting it off because the two light fixtures offer plenty of light, even with one bulb burned out. These halogens have lasted me years. I did replace one bulb about 10 years ago and now this bulb. Now watch the other halogens burn out after me saying this. Thanks again.
I really appreciate your kindness in taking the time to do this video. As a single lady, I had no idea how to get this bulb out and certainly would not have known not to touch the new one with my bare fingers.
My pleasure, Judy!
Lol I'm a single guy and almost broke it trying to take it out , thanks so much! I feel so dumb now lool
Btw any idea if that socket length can be changed? I want to replace it with a led (who uses halogen anymore), the r7s led is 118 mm for 1/4 of the wattage, but my halogen length is 114.2 mm
@@stayinthepursuit8427 i’m sorry I have no idea. At that point it probably just be easier to swap out the light fixture with one that has an LED light.
@@BJPoznecki yeah I can't it's a rental, thanks anyway!
You are a lifesaver - I had no idea on how to get that bulb out. AWESOME video - short & right to the point.
Thank you!
Thank you for saving me a lot of struggle
Thank you, very helpful
Exactly what I was looking for, without a lot of excess fluff. Thank you very much!
After my husband died, I realized how little I actually know and how much he did! Thanks -- I have a floor lamp that I love and didn't want to give up.
Sorry to hear about your husband ❤️. Happy to help!
Thanks BJ. We moved into a new home a few years ago, and I had never dealt with halogen bulbs. I also didn't know how to remove the bulb protector and remove the bulb, which your video helped a lot.
For those planning to change the halogen bulbs, be careful how much pressure you're applying to the bulb while inserting it into the socket; the bulbs are highly fragile and break easily. I ended up breaking a bulb on my first try.
Thank you!!
I was halfway in but didn’t know what else to do so thank you for your video
Thank you! Saved me from breaking any lightbulbs!!!
Thank you very much, I changed it 10 year ago. You save me
Excellent, easy to follow video. Agree with other posters , Exactly what I needed. Thanks for making and sharing this!
My pleasure happy to hear the video was helpful!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your informative video - just what I needed 👍
Thank you for the info.
Thank you 😅
I've never had to replace one of these or seen one. Thanks for the great video so I did it correctly.
Amazing. Thank you.
This helped a lot, thanks!
My pleasure happy to hear you liked the video!
Thank you.
Thank you!
You’re welcome happy to help!
Thanks this helped :)
Спасибо! Все получилось! ❤
Thank.
mine have some sort of glass shield around them, and I have yet to figure out how it comes out. besides, it does need permanent removal as I intend to switch to LEDs...
It’s pointless just stick with halogen
Hi! This video was exactly what I needed! One question: How do you remove the bulb cover? I’m stuck 😅
Thank you I hope the video is helpful!
This light fixture didn’t have a cover over the bulb. I’ve seen some of them where they have a screw, clips, spring loaded clips, etc., so it’s gonna depend on what your light fixture has.

Hi! I watched your video and it looks easy however I can’t seem to get the lightbulb out! There’s absolutely no “spring” to get the bulb out! Any other suggestions? Thank you!
Thank you for the compliment! If your lightbulb looks like the one in the video, that’s the only way they are held in place. However, what can happen is the socket that holds the bulb gets seized where it’s hard to push the spring back.
I have the same fixture with the same double halogen bulbs.
Recently, one of the 2 bulbs did not work anymore.
I remove the "dead bulb" and replaced with the other bulb which is working fine.
but after replacement, this new bulb is still not working.
There must be something wrong with the double ended base, I think.
Should I replace the whole fixture?? Your advice highly appreciated.
I would try one more new bulb. Maybe there was something wrong with the one that you bought. After that if it still doesn’t work, yes, I would install a new fixture because there’s either a problem with the base or wiring and it will be easier and quicker, to just replace the fixture than try to figure out what the problem is and fix it.

My tube is turning black in a day and going off. Is it wrong bulb I am using or something wrong with my socket?
It could either be something wrong with the light fixture. Or, with halogen lightbulbs, you can’t touch them with your bare fingers because the oils on your skin cause the bulb to burn out prematurely. You have to use a glove or paper towel, so your hands don’t come into direct contact with the bulb.
I have a similar fixture but spring is not working...I want to replace the base socket, do you have a video of how to do that?
I’m sorry I don’t have a video for that.
@@BJPoznecki thanks for replying back. I want to replace the fixture with similar one... Can you please tell me the name/model of this particular fixture.? Thanks!
@@maofamily112 I’m sorry I have no idea. That’s a friend of mine‘s house and we installed that light fixture years ago.
Thank you!! You're ripped, good job!! Single? lol.
Thank you, and thank you for the compliment! 🥰😉 I’m sorry, I’m engaged, but thank you for the compliment! 😘
I can't replace my bulb. I can't pushit it to any side because there's no any spring inside the socket...
There are different style sockets. Yours may be just a simple U- clip where you pull the bulb out, and push the new one in.
You didn't show how you pushed and put it inside 😢
Why aren't these things grandma-proof?
Yeah. Stupid lamps we are using aren't spring-loaded for shit. You just need to force it out/in. Annoying.
