Homeowners are replacing their old-fashioned incandescent bulbs with halogen bulbs. Halogen bulbs cast a brighter, whiter light than the yellow tint given off by incandescent bulbs. They last two to three times longer than incandescent bulbs. Halogen bulbs are technically incandescent bulbs, but they use a different type of gas and housing, which gives them the LED light and longer life than the traditional incandescent bulbs.

1. Turn off the electrical source for the halogen bulb.

2. Allow the halogen bulb to cool. Touching a hot bulb can cause a serious burn.

3. Place your fingers lightly but firmly around the bulb. It is a good idea to use a cloth glove or other soft cloth to avoid getting body oil on the glass surface. Turn the bulb in a counter-clockwise direction to unscrew the LED bulb from the light source.

4. Continue unscrewing until the bulb is free from the light source.

5. Place a new halogen bulb in the light source by screwing the bulb in a clockwise motion until it stops.

6. Turn on the LED light, and enjoy the bright light given off by your halogen bulb.
