I was wondering if anyone else here has had to replace one of the bulbs in their brinkmann light or not. The bottom light on mine went out. I was able to TO the light bulb (by removing the plastic housing and then taking out the glass/gasket etc) but im not quite sure how to actually take the bulb out. Also where can i get a replacement? I THINK HD sells em but not totally sure.

thanks guys.

I thought thats how it was suppose to come out...but wasnt totally and didnt' wanna screw up :). I like the warranty info at the bottom of that page...'full 1 year warranty that doesn't extend to the lights or battery' lol...thats pretty much the important stuff :).

Thanks again.

No problem. Yea, I'm not sure what else could happen..a missing screw or something..

I'm sure you know this and my practice, also, is to: I always wear lint-free or latex gloves when replacing any type of bulb(s). :)

At least you can replace the bulbs. Once the battery pukes you have to throw it away or custom make a battery pack. :mad:


My battery won't take a charge anymore. :(

Two years tops. It was only used in the summer months, as I don't do too many details in the winter.

Nice light, but too bad it is manufactured to be disposable.

Interesting...looks like standard T10 bulbs from the picture. I'm going to play around with swapping a T10 LED bulb in one of the sockets. That way I can alternate between the two types of lighting to spot defects.

Let me know how it works out for you
