MAINTENANCE
User Replaceable Bulbs
The 3 Million Brite-Nite Spotlight Lantern uses a 6V, 55 Watt H3 quartz-halogen bulb. If the
bulb burns out, you can purchase a replacement from most automotive supply stores. The
U-shaped fluorescent tubes have long life so should not need to replace them often. However,
the florescent tubes are available at stores that carry electrical supplies. These fluorescent tubes
are 7 watts each. Take one old tube with you when you purchase a new one. Be careful not to
break the tube.
Spotlight Bulb Replacement Procedure
1. Make sure all charging adapters are disconnected from the unit.
2. Make sure all switches are set to “O”, the off position.
3. Rotate the bezel slightly counter clockwise to remove the bezel and lens.
4. Carefully remove the reflector assembly.
NOTE: The WHITE wire of the bulb connects to the Brite-Nite’s RED wire; the BLACK wire
connects to the reflector assembly.
It is only necessary to disconnect the WHITE wire from
the RED wire.
5. Disconnect the WHITE wire from the RED wire.
6. Carefully unhook the two wire spring ends from the reflector flange.
7. Lift and rotate the wire spring to release the bulb.
8. Carefully remove the bulb and set it aside.
NOTE:
The glass of the new bulb must not be touched with the bare hands.
Finger grease
deposited on the glass will create hot spots on the bulb and decrease its life. If the bulb
glass is accidentally touched, it can be cleaned with a lint free cloth dampened with
alcohol.
9. Carefully remove the new bulb from its package without touching the bulb’s glass.
10. Place the bulb in the reflector assembly flange.
11. Replace the wire spring and hook the ends onto the reflector flange.
12. Connect the WHITE wire to the RED wire.
13. Replace the reflector assembly, lens, and bezel.
14. Make sure the bezel is secure to keep out dust and water.
15. Check for proper operation by turning ON the switch.
16. Recharge the battery as required.
Fluorescent Bulb Replacement Procedure
The 3 million Brite-Nite Spotlight Lantern uses two standard 7W fluorescent bulbs. These may be
purchased at any local hardware store.
1. Follow the Spotlight Bulb Replacement Procedure to remove the reflector assembly.
2. Using a phillips screwdriver, unscrew the white fluorescent bulb assemblies’ retaining
screws.
3. Lift out the tube assembly—be careful not to break any wires or bulbs.
4. Gently pull out the old bulb and replace with the new fluorescent bulb.
5. After replacing the fluorescent bulb, replace the screws, reflector assembly, glass, and
bezel.
DC Fuse Replacement
The 4 ampere fuse in the DC plug protects the charging cord of the DC Adapter. If the Charging
Indicator on the Spotlight Lantern does not light up when the you are charging from a cigarette
lighter or accessory socket, the fuse in the DC plug may be blown. Check the fuse that is located
inside the DC plug.
To check or replace the fuse:
1. Unscrew the end cap of the DC plug (counter clockwise).
2. Remove spring, center contact, and fuse.
3. Check fuse with a continuity checker.
4. If plug is blown, obtain a replacement fuse with same type and rating.
5. Replace the fuse, spring, contact, and end cap.
6. Screw end cap clockwise until it is finger tight.
Do not overtighten.
7. Check for proper operation of DC Charge Adapter.
8. If the fuse was good, check the DC socket for proper operation.
DISPOSAL/RECYCLING
All electronic equipment contains materials that can damage the environment if not properly
disposed. All fluorescent lamps contain mercury. Make sure that the bulbs are not broken.
