Real proud of myself today after succeeding at replacement of a light bulb without shattering 25-year-old sun-baked plastic, I am.

But I had help. The help was in the form of a spare lamp to examine and practice on. Thought I'd share what I learned, since I feel as though I've learned this before the hard way and promptly forgotten it.



The idea is to push the heavy "catch" inward away from the cover without inflicting any force on the lightweight, sun-brittled cover. It really helps to see what's inside before beginning.



Oh, almost forgot... on reinstallation, mind the two tabs on the two tabs on the front top of the cover.
