how on earth do I remove this screwless glass ceiling light dome?
Hi,
Got quite a problem here because I'm moving out of my dorm in 2 days' time, and I need to change my ceiling light bulb before then (otherwise they'll impose some ridiculous penalty charge on me). Anyways, here's how my domed ceiling lamp looks like: http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/2015/lampfv.jpg As you can see, there are no screws whatsoever. I've googled quite a few places, and tried some of the proposed solutions such as: 1) Twisting the dome (with my hands) 2) Pushing up on the dome, then twisting it, or rocking it like crazy while twisting it with maximum strength 3) Pulling it down (although this is not quite possible since there is nowhere to hold the dome) Nothing worked. I don't have any tools with me, and it'll be hard to find one at short notice. Anyone has any other good ideas? Thanks so much for looking! Eric |

This seems a bit silly. We should expect the person who tells you of the penalty also to tell you how to replace the bulb. 2. Inventory of trials omits trying to rotate the ring (collar) that holds the dome, in case the whole cover comes off like some smoke alarms. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Eric "Got quite a problem here" I think that as you gain more life experience, you'll find that not being able to change a light bulb doesn't really count as "quite a problem", but for now, I guess that's OK. Having 2 kids in college, I seriously doubt that a burnt out bulb in a ceiling fixture is cause for a penalty. In fact, I would not expect the student to be responsible for either the purchase of nor installation of the bulb. I would lean towards it being a safety/ liability issue where they would *not* want you accessing an electrical fixture belonging to the facility. Think about falls from ladders/chairs and/or electrocution due to a faulty fixture or user error. That said, I can not see the image due to restrictions on my corporate machine, but I'm not sure that it matters. If you say there are no screws, I believe you. My best un-seeing guess is based on other screwless globes that I've seen. There are often very wide threads on the globe that screw into the fixture. Due to heat, moisture, texture of surfaces, etc. these threads can often bind in such a way that they are difficult to unscrew. It may be so tight that you wouldn't even know that it could be unscrewed. If that's the case, I would once again point towards the dangers of doing it yourself. If you apply too much pressure, you could crack the globe and cut yourself. I seriously think that this is a building maintenance issue and should be covered in your room and board. Of course, if you or a roommate had previously removed the globe and installed a non-standard bulb (e.g. a blue one) and that is the real reason that you need to change the bulb, then I wish you luck...but be careful! |

how on earth do I remove this screwless glass ceiling light dome?
I did look at the photo, and nothing comes to mind. Only coarse threads, and
turn the white ring counter clockwise. As the others have suggested (which also came to my mind) to ask your neighbor students, and try to find the custodian. Custodians often will work for appreciation, food, home made cookies, etc. -- Christopher A. Young Learn more about Jesus www.lds.org .. "eric" wrote in message ...

I would guess that the metal collar unscrews or unclips somehow.

If so push to the side and see if it gets enough clearance to drop out. Try a few directions to push. -- Dan Espen |

It's possible that the fixture is purposely made to not be opened by
students/tenants/office workers. The intent would be to keep people from stealing bulbs, making dangerous extension cord hookups, or swapping in higher wattage bulbs, etc. Kind of like the restroom panels/fixtures with "one-way" screw heads etc. As others have said, bulbs should a building maintenance issue anyway, unless you have dorm rules to the contrary. |

Speaking of college dorms and dangerous extension cords hookups, both of my daughter's colleges have this rule: They can not use extension cords or power strips unless they have a switch. They can put a $2.00 power strip in the most inaccessible place imaginable, like behind the mini fridge that's jammed under their bed, and they can plug that 15 YO energy hog of a mini fridge, the TV, 2 lamps and a curling iron into it, but dammit, that power strip better have a switch or the school can confiscate it. Strange. |

Eric I have that exact same fixture in my bathroom, push the translucent plastic up a little and then bend it so that it will come down out of the fixture. Just go slowly. Or call the mtc person for your dorm as others have suggested. |

Eric Typically a fixture like that, with no obvious attachment would be a counter clockwise turn on either the glass or the collar to remove it for relamping. It is entirely possible especially being in a dorm room, that it is a tamper resistant fixture designed to prevent students from gaining access. |

Eric @Eric: *EPIC FAIL* Is there some reason why you did not report the burnt out lamp to the facilities department at your college/university when the lamp ceased functioning ? Even if you somehow figure out how to open that fixture, you will not have a lamp available to you which will fit the base you will find inside of it -- that fixture will have some sort of keyed/pinned commercial grade CFL inside of it, not a standard lamp socket... If some fine were to be imposed on you it is justified, you should have reported the non-functional light when it stopped working so it could be repaired in a timely manner rather than as a rush job during the holiday break so it is ready for the next occupant of that dorm room... The college can not expect nor demand that you supply special light bulbs for its installed fixtures which are not your property... If the light fixture is undamaged you can not be legally charged because the lamp is burnt out, that is normal wear and tear and lamps do not last forever... Definitely leave it alone and do not try to open it/tamper with it in any way, just report it to the person who does your check out that it recently stopped working but you were so busy packing to leave that making a maintenance request just slipped your mind... ~~ Evan |
