I've tried everything and the last try was to gently tape it with a tennis shoe, which I did and the whole thing came down and now its hanging from the wiring. Is this a fire hazard until I can get an electrician here?
@Ihaveasystem 4 сағат бұрын
ooh that stinks, sorry to hear that.. as long as no exposed wiring it should be okay.. just leave it off until electrician gets there to be safe..

Damn good advice. Too bad I watched the video where the guy used a screwdriver, and I broke the glass.

Oh man! Yes I saw that one and almost tried it before I thought of this and then made this video.

@Ihaveasystem I have duct tape over the dome and am tempted to break up the glass. But I will see if the cord trick will work first. The cracked dome may not let the cord trick work

I wonder if it might help if you can get some wd40 type lubricant up in where the glass meets the base.. let it sit for a few and it might help a bit...

yes ive seen that in a few other comments.. if the light base is not secured well then the whole thing turns instead of only the glass dome..

Hey guys, this also works with a USB charging cable, as long as it's long enough to wrap around. I just wrapped it and put it in a basic loop so I could tighten and hold it with one hand, and it worked. This distinguished gentleman here saved me a lot of hassle and frustration. What a relief.

@@Ihaveasystem Hey, I locked myself out of my bedroom and really needed the documents inside that day, and was so sad the cheapest place I could find would charge me $175. It would be cheaper to drill through the lock. Found a video of a KZbin Good Guy Greg like you and boom, although it took me 45 minutes, the card trick worked! I was amazed and I literally got an adrenaline rush when I succeeded, lol.

Absolute legend. All the other 'professional' videos I looked up suggested things like tapping the glass with the rubber ends of a tool to loosen it. Was ready to give up, but the technique used in this video worked in seconds. I just used a USB-C cable and it worked a treat. Great stuff, thanks for the post.

What a bunch of great ideas... I will try that. But in our bathrooms the lens is flush ... maybe put in from the back, with plastic vent-like outer ring for the exhaust fan. But all in all you made a great video.

Mine is likely different than one for the bathroom. Those could be mounted from the back especially if it has the exhaust outlet fan built in. Good luck!
