Minka-Aire offers a line of ceiling fans with controllable lighting. The Cobra model F809-BN comes in brushed nickel and offers multiple speed settings, via a full-function wall control. When it's time to change the center fan light, the glass shade has no visible screws -- making it appear unremovable. However, the center glass does disconnect from the fan's casing, allowing access to the bulb.
Instructions
1. Turn off the Cobra fan's light and spinning blades. Check the temperature of the glass shade, before attempting to remove it. If it's still hot to the touch, wait 10 minutes for the glass to cool down.
2. Place your hand against the glass shade and twist it counterclockwise, to remove it from the fan fixture and expose the bulb.
3. Twist the bulb counterclockwise to remove it from the unit.
4. Put on some latex gloves, and grab the new halogen bulb. Without gloves, the oil on your fingers will damage the halogen bulb and decrease its life.
5. Insert the new bulb into the socket and twist clockwise until it locks into place.
6. Reattach the glass shade and turn clockwise until it locks into place.
