   • Leave the lamp switch OFF until the bulb change is complete.
   • Always wear eye protection when changing a halogen bulb.
   • Handle the bulb only by its base. Avoid touching the glass.

Caution: Avoid touching the bulb or letting the bulb come in contact with anything damp. Oil from your skin or moisture on the bulb can cause the bulb to explode when the bulb is turned on.
