Replacing a standard incandescent light bulb is a piece of cake. Yet, when it's time to switch out that long, tube-style fluorescent lamp, you might hit a snag trying to figure out how to remove it from the fixture. Despite the initial intimidation, replacing fluorescent lighting is a straightforward process.
Steps to Follow
Bulb Replacement Procedure
Ensure the Power is Off. Before starting the replacement process, it's crucial to ensure that the power is switched off. Simply turning off the wall switch won't suffice. Use the fuse box to cut off power to the lamp's circuit and double-check with a voltage tester.
