Changing the Lamp
The Halogen Lamp
For the ultimate in flashlight power as well as practicality,
the Mag-Lite® Rechargeable Flashlight System™ features
a halogen, tungsten filament, pin-type replaceable lamp
(bulb). Though small in size, its specifications are large:
6 volts, 8.4 watts and a rating of 50 hours.
*
CAUTION:
This bulb is pressurized and CAN SHATTER OR EXPLODE,
causing PERSONAL INJURY. Wear protective eyeglasses and clothing
when handling; never scratch bulb’s glass envelope; never splash bulb
with liquids. Bulb BURNS VERY HOT and CAN CAUSE BURN INJURY
OR HEAT OR FIRE DAMAGE. Remove battery pack and let bulb cool at
least two minutes before handling; avoid operating near materials that
are flammable or prone to heat or drying damage. Dispose of lamp
with care.
Removing the Lamp
1.
Holding the largest part of the
flashlight’s head, unscrew the face
cap/reflector assembly. It will come
out with the face cap. This is
factory assembled and should not
be taken apart (Fig. 15).
2.
Holding the barrel in one hand
(Fig. 16), gently lower the head
until it touches the Charging Ring
Module (two silver rings). This
reveals the lamp for replacement.
3.
Grasp the lamp firmly (Fig. 17) with thumb and forefinger. Pull straight
up until lamp’s pins are clear of receptacle. Do not dispose of old lamp in
fire or trash compactor.
CAUTION:
Lamp is pin-type; do not apply excessive pressure.
4. The New Lamp
Line up the new lamp’s pins (Fig. 17) with the 2 holes in receptacle and
apply a straight downward pressure.
Note:
The receptacle is spring-loaded and the entire unit (receptacle) will
move down about 1/4 inch. When the glass of the lamp touches the
receptacle, release pressure and let go. Gently wipe bulb surface with a
clean, soft cloth to remove fingerprints.
5.
Raise the head of the light (Fig. 15) to its full up position. Reinsert face
cap and reflector assembly and screw on tightly.
