How to Reattach an Emergency Light Head
Discussed in this article : Step by Step Instructions on How to Re-Attach a Head Lamp on EL-2 Emergency Light. *These steps could also apply to other similar style lamp heads.
Tools/Product Needed:
- Flat Head Screwdriver. Small screwdriver is suggested.
1. Initial Inspection:
- Before you begin, confirm there are no broken pieces.
- If everything is intact, proceed to step 2.
- If there are broken pieces, re-attaching the lamp head might not be a permanent solution.
2. Removing the Plastic Lens Cover:
- Using the small flathead screw driver carefully remove the plastic lens cover.
- Remove the LED board all together.
- Do not pull the LED board completely out as this is still connected to the circuit board.
3. Re-attaching the Housing:
- This step will require some patience and might take several tries.
- The lamp housing needs to be attached to the plastic clips on the emergency housing.
- Squeeze the housing from one side, to allow the bottom part to open wide enough for the clips to fit.
- With a small amount of force, angle the lamp housing until the clips fall into place.
- Wiggle the lamp housing to ensure the clips are in place and the lamp head does not fall off.
4. Reverse Your Steps:
- After re-attaching the lamp head, reverse the steps to assemble the lamp head with the LED board and plastic cover.
