Hi Sean,
There are four indents punched into the bottom end of the aluminum can, punching into the plastic base and thus holding it in place. If you take a small drill bit or burring tool, you can carefully twist out the aluminum indents and then easily pry off the base, revealing the insides. After replacing the bulb, you can just reinsert the base with a drop of glue.
Regards,
Melvin

Hi Melvin,
How did you get the lamp module open? It looks very well sealed to me.

Hi Sean,
I had the same Problem, but it is easy to fix. You can take the plugable power
lamp apart and you will find a small bulb inside. Just remove it and solder in
a replacement bulb. I had one in my parts bin (I think it was 7volts at About
20 mA, but not sure) which fit nicely. If you cannot find a replcement bulb,
just use an LED instead (with limiting resistor, of Course) which fits nicely
within the lamp plug housing.
