When a console indicating lamp burns out, attempts to renew it should not be made while maneuvering. Why is this so?
the new lamp may be of a higher wattage and cause heat damage to the lens
removing a faulty lamp usually causes an alarm to sound on the bridge
attention should be paid only to engine orders
a socket/wiring fault may cause a ground or short circuit to shut down a vital function
