1. Turn off the power

Before starting any repair or replacement work, be sure to turn off the power, either by pulling the switch or turning off the corresponding circuit switch.


2. Remove the lampshade

Turn the lampshade of the ceiling fan light counterclockwise, usually the lampshade is designed to be easily rotated and opened. If the lampshade is tightly fixed, you may need to use slight force.


3. Remove the old bulb

Once the lampshade is open, find the bulb and remove it. Note that the bulb may be fixed by a screw, just unscrew it directly.


4. Prepare a new bulb

According to the specifications of the ceiling fan light, choose the appropriate bulb type, such as an LED bulb, and make sure its power and interface are consistent with the original bulb.


5. Install the new bulb

Align the new bulb with the lamp holder and rotate it clockwise until it is fixed. Make sure the bulb is fully embedded in the lamp holder to avoid loosening.


6. Restore the lampshade

Turn the lampshade back to its original position and turn it clockwise until it is tight.


7. Inspection and use

Turn the power back on and check whether the new bulb is working properly.


If you encounter difficulties during the replacement process, such as the lampshade is difficult to open or the bulb is not firmly fixed, you may need to consider using appropriate tools such as a wrench or screwdriver, but be sure to do it under power off. If you are unsure of the operation, it is recommended to contact a professional electrician for replacement.
