How to change bulb for bathroom heat lamp?

[wijoyoeduardo]

How do I change the bulb for this light? And where can I buy it?

Hi @wijoyoeduardo,

That is most likely a R63 bulb with Edison screw base, to unscrew turn anticlockwise - be careful.

With safety in mind if it's difficult to unscrew use a rubber dishwashing glove for additional grip (purchase) or stick on a piece of Velcro.

Check the wattage and look for R63 or E27 globes

Hi @wijoyoeduardo,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

I would start by trying to locate the manual for your 3-in-1 Bathroom Heater, Exhaust Fan and Light. The brand name should help you locate it.

Sometimes, but not always, you need to remove the cover plate to unscrew the bulbs. If you try rotating them anticlockwise and nothing happens, you may need to remove the cover plate. While it is unlikely that removing the cover plate will reveal any internal electronics, it would be best to be safe and turn off the power at your switchboard before doing so.

Once you can get the bulbs out, there will be a marking on them indicating what kind of bulb they are. The heat bulbs will likely be something like these Nelson 275W ES Heat Lamps, and the central globe will be something like the R63 globes @AlanM52 mentioned.

Let us know how you go, and if you need help identifying replacement bulbs, please take a photo of the marking on them once you have removed them.
