Lesson Overview

21.4 – Replacing Light Bulbs and Batteries Safely: Replacing light bulbs and batteries safely requires attention to detail and awareness of electrical precautions. Always turn off lights or devices before replacing parts to avoid shock. Let bulbs cool down before touching them, and use a dry cloth or gloves when handling glass to prevent burns or breakage. Check the correct wattage label on fixtures to prevent overheating or damage. For batteries, match the correct size and alignment as marked. Dispose of old bulbs and batteries properly, since many contain materials that should not go into household trash. Use a stable ladder or step stool when reaching high fixtures and ensure good lighting while working. Taking time to do these replacements carefully teaches patience, precision, and responsibility—small actions that keep your home functioning safely and efficiently every day.
