Eric Dinger Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I just got a baby solarspot and it needs a new globe, should be easy enough, but whats the right way to get into the thing! Do I pull the box thing (has the switch and light control) off the bottom, pull the front apart, take the lens out? Also when using Fresnel's if the lens get touched with bare hands do they have to cleaned like bulbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 If I recall, it's easier to remove the fresnel lens. Besides, the lamp go in front of the rear reflector, so doing it from the back wouldn't make sense. Let me know if I'm wrong...sorry, don't have one right in front of me to confirm :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Dinger Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Looks like you may be right, didn't notice that the lens was only held in place with 1 screw and a clip. The guy I bought if from thought you pulled the bottom off of it, but that looked difficult/involved to change a globe. Now, do I have to worry about touching the lens? Sorry if these seem like simple questions, I've only used open face lights up until now. If I recall, it's easier to remove the fresnel lens.

Sam Wells Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 No don't take anything apart ! Facing the light there is a pin on the right, pull it down and swing the door containing the fresnel lens open. Bring the lamp forward to the spot position for easy access. The EGT or EGR lamp will come out with a twist of the base. Put new one in, careful not to touch the quartz glass as you know. (there is a plastic sheath over the glass on new bulbs. Swing the door shut. -Sam ps make SURE there is NO power to the light, do NOT assume it's off if the switch is off, *every* light I have ever changed the lamp on I personally physically see it is not plugged in, I have never relied on someone saying so etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
