Title: how to change bulb in puck lights
Post by: esaulten on January 16, 2011, 05:43:56 pm
I have a 08 Phenix, under the cherry cabnets on each side of the coach there are small puck lights.  I can twist the whole light and wiggle the entire housing out of the cabinet.  It held by pressure of three metal bands that act as a retention spring.  Once out I cant figure how to separate the front glass bezel from the housing to replace the bulb.  I have six of these lights on each side of the coach.  The large overhead lights just push and twist and the glass comes off the housing.  How about a helping hand.  This is driving me crazy.  I know its simple but I give up.  Thanks Elliot

Elliot:

I had the same problem/concern with my puck lights and while I was recently at Foretravel I asked Bob Irelan how are these bulbs replaced. He said that you have to pry off the small ring around the glass with something like a knife blade and it pops out and then you can replace the bulb. Although all my lights are OK, I tried this procedure and it worked fine.

If they are like these
Thin-Lite 339B Halogen Ceiling Light (http://beamalarm.com/Documents/thin-lite_339b_halogen_ceiling_light.htm)
You need to twist off not pry off.

Well, I've been reading for weeks now. So here goes, what is a puck light?

Barry the picture is close but they have changed the style since your coach was built.  When you twist the bezel the entire light spins. The light that I tried to get off may be loose in the wood, so I will look tomorrow and see if your correct.  Elliot
