Problems getting bulbs out

[Feafur]

I have a coralife 48" light that just recently had a bulb die. I bought this unit used and therefore have no manual to rely on. Is there anyone out there who can help me know what to do to loosen this crazy bulb. My husband has even tried to pull it out and we just cannot figure it out. I don't know if there is a trick to it or if these bulbs are just really stuck! We've tried to pull the others out just to see if something was funny about the dead one, but those won't give up either! They are the square pin bulbs....please help!

if i'm not mistaking you just give them a bit of a twist and pull them out

the squarepin bulbs are diff. try pushing to either side they should drop out one end

Is it a POwer compact fluorescent?

well on mine you can take the lens off and just pull the bulb out of the socket

I had to unscrew the side screws and slide out the plastic cover to get to it. That's where I'm at right now. There are a couple of screws on the end of the plug in part and I'm going to see if they do anything....I am thinking it will be ridiculous if I have to do that to change a bulb, but it's worth a shot.

Yes, it is a power compact. It is this light...
