Opening this light fitting

Muahahaha · 2023-11-09 16:53:16

Anyone know how these open to change the bulb. Those 3 little notches are not screwable. Tried twisting it but that doesnt seem to be it either and I didnt want to force it.

Your picture is not very clear - but it looks like a flathead screwdriver will open those fasteners for you

Sometimes there's a tab at a point where you have to push it in or pull it downwards. You can usually detect it by running a finger or fork (with the power turned off) around the top of the rim.

Thanks, turns out those fasteners could screw off by hand and it came off easy. And there was me looking for screws with a philips head like an idiot=)
