Sofitel door handle light

Our door handle light will not come on, hoping it's just a burnt out bulb.  Wondering if anyone has had theirs burn out and if so how hard was it to replace.  
Thanks

    I haven't actually had to do this, but I believe the light is at the top. By removing the 3 screws on the top bracket you should be able to access the bulb for replacement. If it is a standard  incandescent bulb I would try to find an LED  equivalent .

    You were correct, the light is at the top.  I was surprised to find that it was a small LED light strip stuck in there.  The handle itself is solid and 3 small LED's light it up.  The wire connections had evidentially come loose and I just pushed them together and the lights came on.  Such a simple fix I kind of felt a bit stupid for even asking  :|
    Thanks for your reply

    The only stupid questions are the ones not asked!
