Hi Members, how do you open this? I need to check the wiring one of mine is not working. Might be animal chewed it over the winter. Might have to change the entire light ......we shall see. Don’t want to break anything, 8-(

I see a snap in the lower left corner of the photo. Pull that cover off, get a mirror and flashlight and take a look. It's probably a socket that takes a counterclockwise 1/4 turn twist to remove. Remove the bulb from the socket and replace. It ain't rocket surgery.

Or stick your phone in there and take a picture of the backside. I've used the mirror trick also but sometimes the phone is even handier.

Ok Members, stupid me finally looked at the back and see how it can be done. So my next question, where can I get some bright LED light to replace? Saw some at BPS but those are Stainless Underwater type, too pricy. Anywheee I can get non-underwater type?
