How to remove the glass cover from a ceiling light

[@suzannecurry1977]

This type of fixture is the most frustrating lighting cover imaginable. Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this video. Nothing about that fixture is intuitive, including the halogen bulb behind it. We love you for posting this guide to a crazy-making fixture cover and how to get behind it to change a bulb.

[@theoverengineer]

Glad you liked it!

[@noxolomahlangu2027]

How do we remove the light bulb 😩😩

[@skpoudyal]

I had same light cover and could not find any way to take it out, until I watched your video. I had no idea one of the clips springs out. I used screw driver, callipers and none of them worked. Thank you! You saved my day!

[@theoverengineer]

No worries, mate!

[@VesperaLuxe]

I've worked both the build and demo sector of the construction industry for 12 years, and for the life of me, could not figure out how to change this exact fixture in my apartment. After trying to push, pull, twist, and rotate the clips, I came to your video and found out that my springs were just rusty, and didn't want to pop until I got WD-40 on them. I still feel like an idiot, but at least now I have light, so thank you for this video!

[@iwatchwithnoads7480]

I thought that's a spring clip and I broke it 😭😭😭😭 edit: after watching this fully i realize that it was supposed to be spring. so it was just shoddy material, not my fault

[@sambrandt03]

Thank you!! Saved me a lot of the " Please don't break" anxiety as a renter trying to change a light bulb.

[@banyana6515]

I hear you. Going through the same. Where am I going to get a bloody step ladder.

[@pamelanmsibi1610]

Thank you for this straightforward video. I’ve been pulling as I need to clean the glass due to moths😢. Landed on this video and I’ll give feedback on how it goes.

[@mikidabong526]

[@eliyahuladell4596]

Thank you for the post, had difficulty finding the spring loaded clasp as it was very tight, also was surprised to find the halogen bulb behind the fixture

[@emesass5959]

I was so happy to find this. I was able to safely change the bulb. THANK YOU.

[@theoverengineer]

How do you remove the light bulb is it the one that hangs or the one that is anticlockwise? 😩😩

You're welcome!

[@alicjas4282]

Mam takie plafoniery od około 25 lat i nigdy nie przyszło mi do głowy, że ktoś może mieć problem z wymianą żarówki. Może nie jest zastosowane w nich jakieś super rozwiązanie, ale w porównaniu do obecnie proponowanych to "miód, cud i malina". Dziś bardzo często jak uszkodzi się żarówka to trzeba wymienić całą plafonierę (lub żyrandol)

[@unbelieberman]

I'll be trying that tomorrow - thank you!

[@iqmicro]

I have the same issue it come down to poor design. I wonder how this design got approved and the builder put this cheap fixtures.

[@jamesericestrada813]

really helpful. Thank you.

[@JenniferRowse]

Thank you for this video!!!! 😀

[@theoverengineer]

You are so welcome!

[@cherylwilliams5858]

Horable design! If they are old they are hard to move out to pull the cover out.

[@theoverengineer]

Totally ...

[@Myz.Precious]

Thank you so much, wow

[@timmcinnes2594]

It worked!

[@unbelieberman]

Thanks 👍

[@sweet89190]

What do you recommend if the metal piece won't extend far enough past the glass?

[@theoverengineer]

Smaller glass or longer retaining clip are the only two geometry options here

[@atcole1]

Any recommendations for replacing a broken clip? I'm trying to avoid buying a whole new fixture.

[@theoverengineer]

Ouch, ... that's a good one. Awwww ... have never seen a replacement clip, but wasn't looking for one either ... Improvise, tie-wire something, cannibalize parts from other broken fixtures? Sorry, I'm not much help but thanks for watching! Let us know how your fix turned out.

[@usmanmalik8499]

Hi, is it possible to make a video on how to change 1 of the clips, since 1 of them broke from mine?

[@theoverengineer]

Clip screws into the body with one screw. However ... there is no clip store (for parts). There are only light stores (whole fixture).

[@timmcinnes2594]

I'll try the WD-40 on the clip that should pull out, but doesn't. Thank you.

[@lynnmccartney8795]

Me also!

[@jkfooty8727]

Too much talking buddy. Thanks for sharing though

[@hich11111]

Fly cemetery in my light fixture

[@theoverengineer]

Almost always, but the heat dries them out so they mummify neatly

[@Ioganstone]

Was infuriated, not anymore

[@johnnytopgun6414]

Lol

[@sandbox390]

I followed your instructions step by step but managed to break the glass and cut my hand. I will be contacting my lawyer.
