However, this step is potentially dangerous to\u00a0change the\u00a0lightbulb. Before beginning with anything, you need to be sure that the switch to the light you\u2019re fixing is in switch-off mode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The switch must be compared to other switches on the same board or other nearby switches. It shouldn\u2019t be left on, and if it is, you\u2019ll develop high chances of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/first-aid\/electric-shock#:~:text=An%20electric%20shock%20occurs%20when,in%20devastating%20damage%20or%20death.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">getting an electrical shock<\/a> while working with the bulb replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also after you switch off the old bulb you have to wait for a little to let it cool down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ensure_that_youve_got_any_Secure_Stool\"><\/span><strong>Ensure that you\u2019ve got any Secure Stool<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ensure-that-youve-got-any-Secure-Stool.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-410\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ensure-that-youve-got-any-Secure-Stool.jpg 500w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ensure-that-youve-got-any-Secure-Stool-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ensure-that-youve-got-any-Secure-Stool-195x146.jpg 195w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ensure-that-youve-got-any-Secure-Stool-50x38.jpg 50w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Ensure-that-youve-got-any-Secure-Stool-100x75.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 480px, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the next step to follow and quite frankly it is potentially a dangerous step as well. The second thing that must be ensured is to find a secure platform for standing while you\u2019re working. This can also be a table, a chair, step ladder, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vital thing that must be ensured is that you\u2019re able to comfortably stand on top of it. Make sure that you\u2019re not tipping on it or rocking to any larger extent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After getting comfortable with it by using it for some time, you\u2019ll be less likely to develop hesitation or nervousness. This helps in ensuring that you\u2019ll change the bulb with comfort without getting shaky legs and easily maintaining balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Now_Remove_Old_Bulb\"><\/span><strong>Now Remove Old Bulb<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Remove-Old-Bulb.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Remove-Old-Bulb.jpg 500w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Remove-Old-Bulb-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Remove-Old-Bulb-219x146.jpg 219w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Remove-Old-Bulb-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Remove-Old-Bulb-112x75.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 480px, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the old fitted bulb can be easily reached, you need to simply reach for it and grasp it. Make sure to not overly squeeze as it is delicate, and you can cut yourself. Suppose, if the old bulb isn\u2019t turning left freely, chances are that the bulb is a bayonet-style\u00a0fitted bulb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, it is rare, and you can firmly push the bulb in fitting for seeing whether it can retract in the socket or not. If it isn\u2019t, you can push it back and twist it left. Then it must slide and stop and when you\u2019re lifting the hand, the bulb should not slide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Now_Replace_the_bulb_with_New_One\"><\/span><strong>Now Replace the bulb with New One<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Replace-the-bulb-with-New-One.jpg\" alt=\"How to Change Light Bulbs Myself?\" class=\"wp-image-412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Replace-the-bulb-with-New-One.jpg 500w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Replace-the-bulb-with-New-One-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Replace-the-bulb-with-New-One-219x146.jpg 219w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Replace-the-bulb-with-New-One-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Now-Replace-the-bulb-with-New-One-112x75.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 480px, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After considering the aforementioned bulb replacement steps, select a replacement bulb that either matches well with the old bulb or the one that seems more appropriate. A vital part of the decision is selecting the power rating for matching the fitting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is completely up to you! You have to select a light bulb after twisting it in the socket, through the same force required for removal of the old dead bulb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lighting_up_the_New_Bulb\"><\/span><strong>Lighting up the New Bulb<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lighting-up-the-New-Bulb.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lighting-up-the-New-Bulb.jpg 500w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lighting-up-the-New-Bulb-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lighting-up-the-New-Bulb-219x146.jpg 219w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lighting-up-the-New-Bulb-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.handymansingapore.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Lighting-up-the-New-Bulb-112x75.jpg 112w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 480px, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After installation is completed, you need to flip on the power switch.
