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.

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!

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!

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

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)

Any recommendations for replacing a broken clip? I'm trying to avoid buying a whole new fixture.
@theoverengineer2 жыл бұрын
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.

Hi, is it possible to make a video on how to change 1 of the clips, since 1 of them broke from mine?
@theoverengineer3 ай бұрын
Clip screws into the body with one screw. However ... there is no clip store (for parts). There are only light stores (whole fixture).

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