How to change the light bulb in a flush mount fixture.

[@sukhdeepbrar7877]

I have been delaying it and making do with blinking when I was changing it thanks to your video that it helped me in getting it done or else I was about to hang holding. It would have resulted in either the dome being broken or me being injured. Thanks to you it was easily done

[@survivmatthew5419]

A good thing to do when you take the cover off is to clean with a damp paper towel, and then dry it afterwards before you put it back up there. You want to make sure its clean so that you get the brightest light.

Thank you for producing a good video and your explanation. I tried to loosen it with a small lid gripper first with no effect.. Turns out mine needed a slip grip. Then it turned out, this fixture only had one bulb, it looked like one was out. Getting it back on is tough. I'll have to get a taller ladder.

Hey BJ! When I unscrew the acorn nut the entire fixture (base+shade) slides off of the rod, and is only attached to the ceiling by wires. The glass does not separate from the base so I can’t access the bulb. If I look through the hole on the shade where the acorn not comes off and where the rod travels through, it’s an enclosed, plastic tunnel. Any ideas on what to do?

Yes it can be. The easiest way to do it is be sure you have a high enough ladder, so you’re working comfortably. Then with one hand hold the dome in place, while you screw on the nut with your other hand. Hope that helps!

Unfortunately the boob lights in my house don't make as much sense as these ones do to replace. For whatever reason mine have batteries and no fixture to screw in a new bulb.

[@kaitlyngarcia3583]

What if the little thing you have to unscrew first is supper tight ??😟

You will need a pair of pliers to unloosen it.

[@guiluka]

Hello. Be very careful when tightening the bitoniau! That the glass does not break? By changing your bulbs? Would it be a shame if the basin was broken or cracked?

[@BJPoznecki]

Yes, you are correct. Do not over tighten or use any tools as you may crack and break the glass shade.

[@tomcat1234-p6s]

Everyone don't replace all the bulbs in the fixture at once just replace the bad one.

[@juliebigge]

The nut is way too tight. I tried a wrench and it won't budge. Any ideas?

[@BJPoznecki]

Your light fixture might not be the same if that nut at the bottom won’t loosen. It’s possible you have the style where you have to grab the whole light shade and turn it counterclockwise to remove it.

[@DemonFox369]

You can do this with the power on? Why have I heard you need it off? Edit: oh, touching the glass is safe but touching the wires is what hurts

[@BJPoznecki]

Yeah, we’ll the glass might be hot depending on what kind of bulbs are in there. However, if you feel more comfortable, just turn the light switch off so there’s no live power at the light fixture.

[@stephanieparish9060]

I'm a first time home buyer and I have these lights. But my thing on the bottom doesn't have the little know. I don't know hoe to get it off. Can you help me?

[@BJPoznecki]

Hi Stephanie- If you don’t have a nut or decorative piece that acts as a nut, your fixture may be the turn to remove style. Take 2 hands and “gently” turn the glass shade counter clockwise and see if it unscrews from the actual fixture. Let me know if that works?

[@chenghuapang7504]

mine the whole thing got off,not just the white cover. so i still cant access to the bulb!

[@rzelaya2283]

Not all come out that way… looking for those weird fixtures that don’t just drop with loosing the nut

Not able loosen , a spring kind of thing pulls from inside may be its stuck

[@TheTechnicalRecruiter]

I can’t get the acorn screwed back on. What am I doing wrong?

[@BJPoznecki]

If your having a hard time getting the acorn nut back on, more than likely the threaded rod is stripped or cross threaded, and needs to be replaced.

[@mickeyc3096]

I am having a problem with the stem in the middle. For some reason it has gotten shorter and I can't get the knob to screw back on. Help!

[@BJPoznecki]

Hi Mickey- You have to loosen which will lengthen the stem / threaded rod and you’ll be able to get the knob back on. Hope that helps!

[@michaelmike25]

My shade won’t come off and it looks like the same one on this video. Any tips?

[@BJPoznecki]

Hi Josh- When you’re looking up at it from the ladder try gently turning the shade counter clockwise. If you don’t see any fastening hardware on a light fixture shade typically they have a slot style system where they screw and unscrew. Try that and let me know how it goes?

[@sophia-by8jb]

so if you replace both bulbs, will the light be too bright if it’s in a smaller space?

[@BJPoznecki]

Well you could always get lower wattage bulbs, or install a dimmer switch.

[@staceycheston1032]

[@BJPoznecki]

A lot of these light fixtures come with multiple nuts on the threaded rod. Look to see if there is another nut that needs to be removed to take the shade off. If you’re still having difficulty I would hire a handyman this one time to show you how to take it off so you know how to do it in the future.

My acorn nut won’t come off Edit: never mind I needed pliers and now my lightbulbs are good and working

[@sukritiroy1210]

Hey...can you tell me what kind of bulb usually goes in that dome light?

[@BJPoznecki]

There’s many different style of dome lights, however most of them just need a standard screw in a lightbulb. Your best bet is to take a bulb that’s in the fixture with you to the store so they can match it. There’s usually two or three lightbulbs be sure change them all out to save you the hassle of one of the other bulbs burning out after you were just up there.

[@pixieqtee69]

I can't get it off at all , won't unscrew , I've tried while using rubber gloves & nothing it won't budge

[@BJPoznecki]

Try using a pliers, or it’s possible that your style light fixture comes off by turning the actual shade counter clockwise and comes off all in one piece.

[@A3ItsMe]

Mine keeps spinning and the screw won’t come off. Help?

[@BJPoznecki]

If you can try using a needle nose pliers to hold the screw or threaded rod in place why you try to unscrew the acorn nut. Otherwise if it’s stripped or there’s a nut that you can’t remove to take the glass off, you may have to break the glass so you can get inside there, and then just have to buy a new glass shade or light fixture.

[@RobertShane]

My previous home owner painted the fixture shut -_-

[@BJPoznecki]

Yeah that’s common after multiple coats it starts to build up. Take a utility knife and cut the paint between the ceiling and the light fixture where they meet.
