question
How do you open the premier safelight? Mine came right out of the box and does not turn on. I can hear a chain rattling around but I can't open it to get it out. The light flashes on and then goes out.
The top and bottom flanges of the lens retainer have holes through which stubby pins from the chassis register and hold the retainer in place. If one flange is gently pried away from the chassis the retainer will swing away, allowing access to the lamp.
