Available in LED. (If you're buying halogen, note that some do/don't have a glass plate on the front.)
I think there is a good chance the central part of the fixture is just a gard or is a can held in by friction clips. With a gentle tug, it may slide out.Office_Shredder said:

To safely change a lightbulb, make sure the light switch is turned off and the bulb has had time to cool down. Use a ladder or step stool to reach the light fixture, and wear gloves to protect your hands from any broken glass. Twist the old bulb counterclockwise to remove it, then insert the new bulb and twist it clockwise until it is securely in place.
The type of lightbulb you should use depends on the fixture and the desired lighting effect. Incandescent bulbs produce a warm, yellowish light and are suitable for most fixtures. LED bulbs are energy-efficient and have a longer lifespan, but may be more expensive. Compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs are also energy-efficient and produce a cooler, bluish light. Always check the fixture's maximum wattage before choosing a lightbulb.
To dispose of a burned-out lightbulb, wrap it in newspaper or place it in a plastic bag to prevent any broken glass from scattering. Check with your local waste management or recycling center for specific disposal instructions, as some bulbs may contain hazardous materials that require special handling.
No, it is not recommended to replace a lightbulb with a higher wattage than the fixture's maximum wattage. This can cause the bulb to overheat and potentially start a fire. If you need brighter lighting, consider using multiple bulbs or switching to a different type of bulb with a higher lumen output.
The lifespan of a lightbulb varies depending on the type and usage, but on average, incandescent bulbs last about 1,000 hours, CFL bulbs last about 8,000 hours, and LED bulbs last about 25,000 hours. It is recommended to check your lightbulbs periodically and replace them when they start to flicker or dim, as this is a sign that they are reaching the end of their lifespan.
