Need Help Changing a Light Bulb (1 Viewer)

[Don Quixote]

At the risk of a "how many lawyers does it take to change a lightbulb" joke... I have a ceiling light fixture on my front porch that I can't figure out how to remove to change the lightbulb. I unscrewed the finial at the bottom and haven't identified any other screws. I've tried squeezing and pulling the fixture, with no luck. It's a single metal frame with a glass piece inside of it.

It was installed by the previous homeowners. Don't know the manufacturer.

Any ideas here? Thanks.

i would probably try gently prying it off with a screwdriver.

it may have some small, somewhat flexibe metal tabs inside that you can pop it back into.

How many mice does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Only two, but the hard part is getting them into the light bulb.

I would bet that the four "prongs" are rusted to the base of the fixture. Jam a small screwdriver or a putty knife in there and see if you can pry them loose.

Do you live near any Polacks? Cause you're going to need a bunch of them.

Crisis solved. Screwdriver was able to do the trick.
