I have red eveready lantern. i tried to put the new bulb in it but it does not work. what could have gone wrong?

1 Answer. If it is the yellow floating lantern you have to remove the black plastic stub on the underside of the reflector using needlenose pliers to wiggle and slightly pull until it releases and the bulb will come out. This worked great! Eveready should have this as one of their FAQs.Jan. 6, 2011

Unscrew the head assembly. In the back of the assembly is a small plastic nut. Unscrew this and the bulb should fall out into your hand.

Drop a couple of drops of WD 40 on the bulb retaining ring. Let site overnight and in the morning it will easily unscrew. Note: be sure you use only a couple of drops as you don't want to get it on the reflective lense

To test a flashlight bulb you use an Ohm meter which will detect a broken filament or an open circuit within the bulb. If the bulb is bad it will read "OL" if it's good it will read "00.0"

The bezel (the circular portion on the front of the flashlight that holds the bulb and lens) will unscrew. The old battery should slide right out.

Hope this helps.

I waited until the next day and called the eveready battery cmpany and they said I didn't need to take the screws out - just turn the ring around the bulb and the whole front came off and we reached in and toook out the thing that held the batteres and place them in the holder! simple - when you know how! ha
