    Remove globe from light fixture
    I have a chandelier with 6 lights . The globe covers are open facing down and after I remove the bulb , I see a thin round matal piece that has a small tab on each side. I was able to remove 1 metal circle by pinching the 2 tabs but I couldn't budge the globe. So I tried another light and couldn't even budge the 2 tabs. It seems impossible to remove the globes. Any ideas?

    Without a photo, or the make and model number of the fixture, how would we know? There is, I will guess, something like a bazillion fixtures installed out in the world.

    Sorry, I don't know how to put on a picture and the chandelier has no papers. I'll go to a light fixture
    Store and get some help.

    Are you sure there is not little screws holding the globes onto the stem of the fixture?

    Yes- I am familiar with the conventional way to change a globe. There are no screws. Thanks
