That's what I thought but when I try to unscrew it,I'll get it about half way and it starts to make a sound like I'm twisting wires.I should not be this difficult to change a light bulb. |

Try rotating the glass counter-clockwise. It could be fully threaded, but I am thinking that there are just some slots in the glass and it is rotated clockwise to lock into place. |

I'm with you. I hate those stupid things. The box screws go into keyhole
slots on the fixture, so unless it's wicked tight, or the glass is loose, its pot luck as to what gets unscrewed "John Grabowski" wrote in message ... wrote in message ups.com...

One to turn the lens and the other to hold the house. |
