Narrative:
Had air turn-back after landing gear was raised for noise and vibration. Returned with left nlg door open. Door was opened because I changed l-hand nose landing gear landing light. I don't recall closing the door. I was in a hurry to get the daily check and other items completed. The light was cracked so it had to be changed. I asked for a new lamp to be brought out and it was the wrong one. I had to wait for the correct lamp which added to the time it took.
