Make sure that the replacement bulb/lamp is the same/correct rating and type as the one you are replacing

Make sure that the replacement bulb/lamp is the same/correct rating and type as the one you are replacing. If you want to replace it with a more energy efficient lamp then ask the retailer to confirm that it is suitable for your light.

Switch off the light before you remove and replace the bulb/lamp.
