    • Flip the GravityLight on its back and place it on a sturdy surface.

    • Unscrew the three 2cm Phillips #00 screws on the back of the GravityLight’s body.

    • Some of the internal pieces may loosen or fall out during disassembly.

    • Firmly grasp both parts of the GravityLight body and pull them apart.

    • Place the back panel, the larger of the two pieces, on a sturdy surface with its back down.

    • Unscrew the two 2cm Phillips 00 screws on the inside of the back panel.

    • Hold the LED housing in your hand, but do not separate it too far otherwise you will tear the wires.

    • Lift the LED housing away from the back panel.

    • Grab the outside of the large, white gear in the LED housing and pull the gear out of the housing.

    • Set the LED housing flat on a sturdy surface so that the back of the LED and the wires are exposed.

  7. FFJ6UqIyMFUILloO

    • Place the GravityLight's back panel aside.

    • Use the Flush Wire Cutter to cut both the purple wire and the red wire that connect to the LED.

  8. gUNtBS2eHYTjFyAN

    • Take tweezers and bend the leads (the silver wires coming out of the bulb) so that the leads are straight.

    • The straight leads will make the LED easier to take out.

  9. cbZQBrJS5BBXkWXy

    • Flip the LED housing over.

    • Pull the LED out with tweezers.

  10. 2BOOybNJy4d3Vs13

    • For reassembly: Flip the LED housing back over.

    • Put the new LED in its spot. Solder the red wire and the purple wire back onto the new leads.

    • Make sure that you pair each wire to the correct lead. If the LED still does not light, switch the wires on the leads.
