Step 6Upper Unit Dissection
,
Take apart the lamp head unit.
Remove and save the flimsy plastic light diffuser shell.
Discard the florescent lamp, unless it is still good.
Remove and save the three lamp clips and screws, being careful of the heavy glass lens, mine did not break somehow when I dropped it on the concrete floor. From this point on the lamp head unit is not heavy enough to counter the arm springs and will rise.
Discard the white reflector metal piece complete with plug and lamp starter part (mine was heat shrinked in black), retaining most of the wire available.
Electrically speaking, you should now have the black and white whites from the lower power box; the black goes through the on/off switch and ends, while the white wire just ends. (Using existing wire saves having to snake feed new wire). Note that on mine the black wire is crimped to a short piece of white retained from the discarded parts, consider this still the black wire, you may want to color it with a marker for future).
If you use a meter to verify 120Vac present and the switch is working remember to again unplug after.
