How to replace the cartridge in the lamp?
So, in order to correctly replace a failed element, you must perform the following steps:
- Turn off the light on the shield. It is strictly forbidden to carry out live replacements!
- Remove the chandelier from the ceiling. You can, of course, change the cartridge without removing the lamp, but it will be much more difficult. All you need to do is disconnect the connection of conductors (usually a twist or terminal blocks, as in the photo) and remove the chandelier from a hook or strap.
- Disassemble the lighting device by removing the glass shades and unscrewing all the bulbs (the usual one is e27 or e14 is a minion) so that they do not crash during the repair process.
- Unscrew the visible part of the electrical cartridge and disconnect the wires. In some models, the contacts are on the base. In this case, you will need to unscrew the clamping screws.
