There's some mods I want to do that would be easiest if I pulled down some LED lights so that I can run extra wiring through ceiling. The problem is that I can't figure out how to remove the dang things!
There's one of 'em mounted in shelving, directly under the stereo, so by pulling the stereo I can see that they're attached with 4 screws (ends of screws come up through wood into stereo cutout). But, I can't manage to get to the heads of the screws on 'em.
Does the trim ring pop off, the frosted dome pop off, or is it one of those situations where once the dome is snapped in place, it's permanent?
I've done some prying on the edges of the dome, but it's such a tight fit between it and the grey trim ring that I can't even hardly get anything in there to try to pop it out, and the trim ring doesn't easily pull away from the ceiling either. Of course, I haven't tried prying on either too hard because don't want to break stuff or accidentally rip the thing off of the ceiling.
Has anyone here dealt with these newer LED light fixtures that Keystone is using on some of their rigs and know how to temporarily take one down?
