Changing bulbs in pot lights is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. However, it is important to follow the correct steps to avoid damaging the light fixture or the bulb. Before you begin, make sure that the power to the light fixture is turned off.
To change the bulb, first remove the trim ring around the light fixture. This can usually be done by gently prying it off with a flathead screwdriver. Once the trim ring is removed, you will see the bulb. To remove the bulb, simply pull it straight down. When installing the new bulb, be sure to push it straight up into the socket. Once the new bulb is in place, replace the trim ring and turn the power back on.
