How do you change Florescent Lights?

[Rhood]

Google is out with some hoes at the moment and doesn't want to respond to me.


I'm trying to change my kitchen florescent lights, but I can't figure out how the panel pops out. Does it pop out from the left side or the right?
Do I push up and slide or push up and pull?


My panel looks very similar to this image.

Pop open the cover, and then twist the bulb. You will feel how it should come out. Once you remove, you can see how it inserts and will be easier to take out and put back on in the future.

Try bending the ends out a little

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Push up the plastic cover slide the medal bracing on sides over a bit, remove plastic cover, change bulb -- put plastic cover back.

Easiest way is to stop being poor and replace florescent lights in your home with better lighting

Use a screw driver to pluck it out - make sure the light is in the ON position.

I have these god damn recessed florescent lights in my kitchen and I hate them but don't know what to put in their place. It has a floor above them so it's gotta be something shallow. Plus I'd have to patch an entire 2'x4' hole.

Not at all.


Yeah Its probably more work than it's worth because I haven't seen anything I really like that much to replace it

Are you Polish? If yes, you'll probably need three other relatives to help you.

 

[RawHawg]

This is generally accepted as the approved way to change the bulb

You don't. She changes you.
