Corallife Pendant

I bought a Coralife 150 W HQI pendant used with no manual. I can't find a website for Coralife products either. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get the lens off to replace the bulb. Does anyone have one of these to know how to accomplish this?

 

Thanks, I couldn't find that on any search. But alas, no manuals or much of any information on that website. Darn.

check the side think theres a couple screws then the side should pull out if i remember correctly, and it all glass, oceanic, coral life, kent marine, esu and another one i cant remember

Nope no side panel or screws. This is a solid black cylinder molded to cone at the top.
Sean, I think it either screws apart at the top or the lens assembly is friction fit into the cylinder. I tried getting it to come apart at the top before and didn't have any luck. I will have to try again. It obviously has to come aprt somehow.
Doesn't someone have one of these? I thought it was very common. Sounds like fnvarner did but maybe they have changed the design now.

 

Thanks, I am ordering a replacement bub today and I guess I need to figure out how to get it replaced.

it has to be cooled down but if you look at the bulb there's like a chrome reflector grab there and the top and pull it should pop right open
I can't grab there, there is a glass lens. What pops open on the one you have? The top or then lens assembly?

 

Thanks I'll give that a try when get back to Iowa. Hopefully my repacement bulb will be there Friday. Right now though I'm too busy kicking back with a brew listening to the waves.

 

Thanks fnvarner. That did the trick. You really have to pull on the sucker! I was afreaid of breaking it before.
