When requesting new light bulbs, residents must clearly specify the location of the light fixture within the room. Also be sure to note whether the bulb is incandescent or fluorescent. The incandescent bulbs are generally warmer in color and are round shaped bulbs; fluorescent bulbs have a bluish white color and are tubular in shape. Light bulbs will be provided for fixed lighting fixtures provided by the University only, and will not be provided for personal lamps of any kind. For routine light bulb replacements, submit a request on FIXit.
Students should not remove or use any fixtures that have a cracked bulb as they are dangerously sharp and may pose a fire hazard. When a bulb is cracked, ALL the lights in a room are out, or there is no electric power in a room, contact Facilities Customer Service (202) 994-6706.
