How to access the light bulb in the front yard light post

[Markus]

Can someone tell me how to access the light bulb in the front light post? I see the little screws to get inside to access the wires but not the light bulb. It is the newer design as we live in Lake Denham.

Correction. It looks like you just need to remove the 2 "D" screws and remove the top piece, "B".

Not that design unfortunately.

The top piece will not unscrew. I have tried WD40 and all. It seems like that is the logical way. I will try more WD40 and see if it is just stuck.

Are you sure that those spiral rods that connect the top to the bottom don’t have screws under the bottom plate?
Look in your design documents for the manufacturer and model of your lights. Then you can go to the manufacturer’s website for a diagram.
Another option would be to send that picture to the company that wired your house and ask them how to access the bulbs.

How many Villagers does it take to charge a light bulb?

Have you flicked the circuit breaker to the lamppost yet? It’s in the garage. We have had some lightning resets a couple of times lately.

Is there a cover plate on the top piece with a screw under it? If not, have you tried to unscrew the entire hat piece?

Note that you can always remove the entire fixture from the bottom and replace the bulb.

If all else fails, you can call the warranty department and get the make and model number.

I had similar fitted when we renovated our present house.
Found out some years later it was a sealed unit, and had to replace the lot.

Post No. 7 says that is not the correct fixture.

OP, I would be glad to look at your light to see if the bulb can be replaced, however, as previously suggested, did you check GFCI breaker or outlet to see if that is the reason the light is not coming on, also if you have a light sensor, these are notorious for failing.
Please feel free to contact me by PM, as I do not post email or phone info on open forums.

That was it. Thanks. I guess I just did not see them in the direct sunlight.

Good. You're quite welcome.
