Introduction

If your light is not turning on, then you most likely have a short circuit, which requires a replacement. This guide is specifically meant for incandescent light bulbs under a ceiling mount. It will demonstrate how to remove the broken bulb and replace it with a  functional bulb. Make sure there is no current running through the light bulb to avoid electrocution before you begin.

    • Once the light bulb(s) are working, place one hand under the mount. Pull the clip back and let it settle in place.

Conclusion

If the lightbulb does not work after step 7, then you need to get a new lightbulb and repeat step 5-7. If it still does not work then your socket might need a replacement.
