I’d like to have a word with whoever designed these monstrosities
I'd like to have two words with him -or her - and the second one is "off"
me too!!!!😠
me too!
Yes it's a f joke
Man!
A gentleman and a scholar. Ty. Was about to just pistol wip mine.
In god 🤣🤦🏾♀️
bruhhhhhhh

100% same after I tried to twist that mother fker with my weak triceps so hard that my whole body was shaking on that unsteady chair I stepped on to reach that damn thing. Ugh. My day is saved
So ridiculously simple... 🤦♀️ I'm embarrassed by how long the lights in our bathroom went without being cleaned because we couldn't figure it out! Thank you!
@user-sz7ue4of8r: "Moronically simple", is the phrase. As in whoever designed this type of fixture mount.
My wife wanted to make sure I thanked you. This worked like a charm. We used the Yellow rubber gloves. The dome light would simply not come off until we used your advice. 👍🏽👍🏽
What would we do without YT?! I have done all my diy projects with the help of great videos like this one. Thank you !
I'm 77 yrs old, 5 ft tall and not in the best physical shape but I got it and wanted to shoot whoever invented this beast. But the video really helped and the light is shining.
Hi Betty just just wanted to say thanks for being alive and making this funny comment

this is so wholesome
Me too
I had one that was stuck really bad. The previous residents probably never removed this light fixture. I took a rubber mallet and gently tapped around the sides. And it came out very easy after that. Rubber mallets are good in this situation.
Rubber mallet did the trick. Thanks for posting this!
Thank you so much, my wife and I were having trouble finding a solution since our apartment has one of these dreaded nipple-less boob lights. Your instructions were quick and concise with no nonsense!
I have a full ceiling titty, i had to also loosen the screw at the nipple
Thank you, I feel less than a dummy trying to figure out this simple task.your video saved me
Depending on your fixture, you may have to turn the glass clockwise. I tried counterclockwise and it won’t budge. After much frustration, I happen to try clockwise and it dropped in my hand without much effort. I took it off and put it back on several times, it sure needed a small twist clockwise to pop it out.
Do Australian dome lights unscrew clockwise? (I make joke)
Thank you SO MUCH! I was in despair, then I watched this great video, and I had the whole process completed in under 2 minutes!
The most helpful video on all of youtube; I was at my wits end trying to figure this one out.
You just saved me a bunch of confusion! The light in my hallway finally but the dust and I don’t want to call the maintenance people to come change it, because why bother them for a lightbulb, right? So I’m glad to see how the fixture comes apart so I can just do it myself! Thank you!
Thank you! I knew I had to spin it, but didn't think of using gloves. I thought it was just stuck! Awesome video! Got my bulbs switched!! Thanks again!
I googled:cannot unscrew light fixture to change bulb. Your video popped up first!!! Of ALL of the light fixtures in the entire world and you are demonstrating mine!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you - you gave me the confidence to give it a try without worrying that I'd be breaking it!
Just what I needed. I’ve been trying to get this hateful thing off for quite a while! A pair of rubber gloves, a rubber mallet, and a quarter-twist set it free. I have light, again! 💡 Mind you, a very light tap with the rubber mallet! 😆
Great tutorial. Simple and easy. Thanks a lot. ⭐️
I was totally stumped as how to change the bulb in this fixture. Thanks for this very helpful video!
God bless you. No more showers in the dark. I was about ready to just break the durn globe. Looks like my base needs securing while I turn the globe! YEAH
8inch spares on Amazon for 15$ ended up just smashing mine, and bought another. Who ever built this 1,000 years of bad luck upon your family.
I love this video. Exactly the type of video you’re looking for when you’re in a pinch like I was in. Thank you! Keep it up
THANK YOU!!!! We bought a house with this already installed. Figured it was one of those spring-loaded ones. Glad I decided to seek help instead of pulling down on it!
THANK YOU. After 30 mins of being frustrated trying to get that dome light off...I came here saw what you did..had it off in 2 seconds.
Same
Unfortunately I could not remove mine with the rubber gloves... it was on too tight. What I did was get my rubber ball-peen hammer and tapped on the metal ring around the glass globe. Don't tap too hard because this could dent the ring. Next, I hit the globe with glancing but strong taps in a counter-clockwise manner. Yes, it made black marks (a white rubber ball-peen hammer would be best) on the globe but these can be removed with glass cleaner. Success! It loosened the globe and I was able to remove it and clean the inside and change the bulbs to LED.
I thought I was crazy cause i couldn't see any screws. I've been without lights in my living room for 2 weeks until today. Thanks my friend. Writing this from Argentina.
Really a good video. Your video inspired me to do it myself and I did it. In my case, I helped myself with a long ladder so that I am comfortable in removing it. I had to try it few times before I was successful. I did not have any rubber glove so I used my bare hands, but, I made sure that my hands were dry and the glass lid was also dry
You are fkn Awesome! Hallway has been dark for over a year! Thank you Sir! 🙏🏾
HELP I ACCIDENTLY TOOK OFF THE WHOLE FUCKING THING
ITS JUST HANGING WITH THREE WIRES HOLDING THE WHOLE DMN THING, MY ARMS ARE GETTIBG TIRED I DONT KNO W WHAT TO FECKIN DO.
Fuck it, im letting go. If you guys see me in heaven ive probably died from this fucking cereal bowl falling on my head.
did u ever get it back on bestie
I have a fixture just like this. This video is very helpful. I am going to wait until my bulb burns out before replacing. I have rubber garden gloves that should work. Thanks, you earned yourself a like.
I regret watching this i opened my light and found 4 spiders
rip-
Bruh now I’m scared to open it
That's at least 20 people living in the dark now because you wrote that.
Tom Hayden unless you need to fix a lightbulb dont take the risk
Definitely not replacing my lightbulb now thanks bro
This worked amazingly well. I used a latex glove. Thank you!
Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!
So grateful for your grippy gloves suggestion. Worked a trick. Glass cover rotated so easily. Just by chance I had just bought rubber grippy gloves last week.
Awesome! Glad I could help!
AHA! Thanks for this. Extremely helpful. These fixtures are getting replaced by something simpler as soon as I get them off. Thanks again.
Thank you, you were the first to explain it to me clearly!
i didn't have any luck with rubber gloves, instead i loosened the fitting with WD-40, then taped around the glass cover and pulled on the tape to increase my torque moment arm. that did the trick
Thank you for this, also, you are so skilled to film with your left hand and rotate that light cover with your right!
Almost dropped the glass a couple of times, but working on my skills, haha.
Thank you for going to the trouble to make this video! It worked!
Thank you for sharing this video. My new apartment uses these, and I want to change to LED bulbs. You're a God send 😊
Brilliant. Worked like a charm. Thank you!
Just what I needed! Thanks.
I tried with mine and it still won't work!
Thank you for this. While not exactly the same it still helped me with my fixture.
Thank you for this. We rent and we genuinely had no idea how to change this type of globes. Our lights base isn’t attached to the ceiling though (shoddy work) so wish me luck!
Same here. The landlords just changed the normal light fitting to this sort of monstrosity.
I tried to open the cover by turning clockwise and the whole fixative moved. Thanks to your helpful video and several minutes of twisting and turning, the glass cover finally came off. Now I can go to the next step!
Thanks for sharing! Didn’t have the exact same fixture but using cabinet liner for grip did the trick
Thank you. We had removed the whole fixture without removing the dome and then we couldn't get it attached again. After watching this video, we were able to remove the dome from the base even though it was just hanging there, clean the dome, put the base back on the wall after adjusting the screws a bit, and finally putting the globe back on the base. We still have another fixture to clean, but that should go much smoother.
Ha! Exact same fixture. Came apart like so easy! Many thanks!
This helped - thanks! I live in an apt. Needed to change bulb, but wasn't sure how to remove dome. Thanks again.
Thank you for great instruction sir and now we can replace new light bulbs 👍🇺🇸
Thank you so much for posting this! I thought it would be months until I either figured this out or found someone to help me 😂
OMG!! I thank you so much!! I haven’t had a light in the kitchen in three weeks!! Wow you can find anything on RUclips!!❤❤
“And then there was light!”
Literally, 60 seconds! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
👍👍👍😁😁😁🎇🎇🎇🎆🎆🎆
Very helpful. Thank you very much! Just opened mine thanks to your video. God bless 😊
Thank you so much! It was so easy Thanks to your video
I too felt dumb trying to open it before watching your video! God bless!
Incredibly helpful. Thank you.
Thank you! Was able to change my lightbulbs thanks to this video.
Ln
Can't believe I had no idea how to do it! Thank you. 😂
You are doing the Lord's work good sir! Thank you for sparing us a maintenance request for this awful light 😩
Super helpful! Thank you so much!
thank you sir, i saw another video a long time ago and i forgot how to do it. thanks to this i was able to do it. I'm not handyman of any means but luckily i had those gloves.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for posting this. Now that I've got the cover removed, I need to figure out how to replace the actual light. It looks like a funky circuit board with LED's or something 🤔
Awesome. Going to give it a try now. Thanks for posting! 😁
Thank you for making this video. I had no idea what I was supposed to do.
What a dumb design! I sure hope they stopped making these. Mine seized wont open!
Same
Amazing! That's exactly my model of dome light. Thanks!
Thanks to this video, I finally replaced the light bulb on the ceiling light that has been burnt out for 1.5 years. Lol THANK YOU!!!
Thanks you! I was stuck until I saw this, and thought maybe the whole thing was help up by clips which would release if I just pulled harder. Glad I found this first before doing anything that stupid.
This video is so helpful. I’ll tell you DO NOT accidentally screw off the base as it’s held on by two screws and covered in surprise fiberglass that will shed as you sweat trying to get it back on. Bad day 😂
Thanks you saved me!!! I tried before and frustrated, until I watched your video ❤️
Thanks, the glove trick made it work for me. Saved me a lot of heartache!
Thank you Sir. I just changed the bulb as you were demonstrating.
Thanks so much! This is the exact same light I have. Great idea about something to grip.
Thanks. Saved me from breaking of the glass !
Thank you so much!! I had issues to change the lamp
Thank you, I was about to smash mine open with a hammer.
Thank you! It worked.
Your instructions worked on my light so thanks!!
Thank you so much I just got a new apartment and I hate the light but I couldn’t figure out how to get it down. I’m gonna try this tomorrow.
This really works! Thank you 🙏🏻
You are a life saver!
Thanks so much! Super useful!!!
Great instruction. Thank you!
Good info, I’ll give it a whip tomorrow 💡
Thank you for this video, couldnt for the life of me figure out how to get my dome light open to replace the bulb lol. I used Ove' Gloves to get the glass off lol.
Thank you very much. This was alot of help.
I love yt for this reason
Ty ty ty I found this in the nick of time. Was shaking the base off the ceiling. Lol lol
THANK YOU! Both bulbs out at rental cabin, so this video saved me lol
Thank you. Saved me many hours 😊
Thank you! This worked!
"I know kung fu" -Neo, Matrix / Thanks for the upload, I had no clue.
Sadly mines just will not come off 😭
Both of these techniques work really well for a really stuck one! The issue is that using your hands, it's hard to rotate it without also pushing up.
- Use a shoe sole or something else rubber to help spin it: ruclips.net/video/EH2_QXUKvSw/видео.html
- Use tape "handles" to spin it without pushing up: ruclips.net/video/vXHylBQzrIs/видео.html
Eric Loveland thanks ... the link shoe trick really work for stuck one .... cheers
Thank you for posting those Eric, the tape handles trick was fantastic - couldn't get the fixtue off any other way.
Very helpful video, thanks!!
Thanks! Ill try it now.
Thank you so much for your help!
This helps. Thank you and God bless!
Thank you so much for your help.
Thank u. So easy once I watched your video
Thank you! This was very helpful
