remove the light diffuser cover. 3- First check that the bulb hasn’t

worked loose by ensuring it is screwed

securely in the holder. Replace the

plug and switch on. If the bulb works, replace the light

cover by inserting the rear lug and pushing up to locate the front two lugs.

4- If the light still fails to work, switch off at the socket outlet and pull out

the mains plug. Replace the bulb with

a new 15 watt (max) screw cap (SES) bulb.
