How to Take Out a MR16 Mini Halogen Bulb?
- 1). Turn the light fixture off by switching the power to "Off."
- 2). Allow the bulb to cool for five to ten minutes. Halogen bulbs become very hot when in use, so allowing it to cool will prevent potential burns.
- 3). Grasp the bulb by the base. Do not grasp the glass, as you could accidentally break it, resulting in injury. Pull the bulb straight out of the socket. The bulb is equipped with two prongs instead of a spiral socket, so be sure not to twist the bulb, as this will cause it to break or shatter. It will disengage and come out with little force.
