Review on Conair Makeup Mirror Replacement: Circular Fluorescent Bulb 5.5-Inch T4 - 12W FC12 by Bob Souza

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Operation before installation

So glad I can keep using my expensive old mirror! As others have written, the installation is difficult. The sockets holding the old bulb were so tight that the old bulb broke when I tried to remove it. I shook out the fragments and performed the operation. Take a pair of heavy scissors and cut at least half of the clear plastic fasteners in the four places where the new lamp will be (see photo). This creates a more open but still adequate support for the new bulb. Just cut something off, check the fit with the burned out bulb. The new bulb works great, worth the trouble.

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Almost never
