I need to paint the ceiling where I had these installed. Any idea how to remove the ring to make painting easier?

The ring is permanently attached to the fixture. You would have to completely remove the fixture if you wanted to remove them to paint around. This would require you to take off the transparent lens that the light comes through (it pops off if you pry at edges), then remove the two screws that attach it to the junction box. You could probably then just pull it away from the ceiling for painting without unwiring it, and then just push it back up and reinsert the screws, pop the lens back on after you are done painting.

If not mounted in a can then you must remove the plastic lens. Use a old credit card. There are screws underneath that hold ring in.

You have to pry out the plastic piece in the center to reach the screws. It came with a special tool for this but a flat screwdriver might work.

The ring is not detachable. You can remove the entire assembly by popping off the plastic lens, removing the screws, and disconnecting the electrical plug. I believe that the ground wire is not in the plug. You may have to remove it separately. You should turn the power to the light off at the panel.

The inner cover needs to be removed and the two screws holding the unit to the junction box loosen to remove the unit from the junction box without disconnecting the electrical wires.

The ring doesn't detach from the rest of the fixture. You would have to remove the fixture from the ceiling box (two screws) to avoid having to do trim painting. It's OK to let it dangle by the wires temporarily.

heat them up stick a pin in them and pry them out. this will cauce the finish to turn to a "satin" rather than a shinier aperrance. I bought a pair of those damn grips to. The seller should tell you the medallions are not Smith and Wesson, but, those of the manufacture. Good luck! (I used a heat shrink gun BTW).

I never take mine out--I have the mount up in headliner at the very top with strong Velcro.. Nobody can really see it- Hold the mount and push with your other thumb?? When you get it out put a tiny bit of Vaseline or anything around the house in that notch. If that doesn't help use a nail file to take down the notch till it easier???

Mine are actually still up. I assume you can just pull them off. I have mine on some stained woodwork. I personally would not use them on painted woodwork for fear of pulling off the paint. Hope this helps.

Carefully pull down white plastic vent cover. Pinch the 2 metal spring loaded wires and slide down the cover to expose the spring wires. Pinching the wires together allows them to be removed from the housing. If you need more help you can email me and we can set up a phone conversation for you. Good luck for now. Email is azgnilrets@cox.net. Stu and Kim

Remove light from mount. Use a flat head screw to mount. Reattach light to mount.

Just take hold of the bottom with one hand and pull the whole silver top off. It just slides on and off. Shalom!

Simply turn large exterior retaining ring counter-clockwise & remove. inner light assembly will gently fall down. change- out bulb, and reverse procedure to re-install !!

Yes, you can just remove the one it have by default and leave it that way, even you can paint the ring the color you want.

It's really hard but I worked mine from the tops corner down . Take a corner and try to get that out and when you have that out stick your finger under it and the rest of the corners should come up a little easier

Gently use a screw driver or butter knife to get under the trim ring to get it out.

take off the plastic ring that prevents the metal from touching the side- you need to unscrew the two parts of the light to remove the plastic ring. hope that helps

Ring is not heavy. If you can't screw a cup hook to the ceiling, how about fixing to the walls and stringing a line between? The tension (pulling out force) on the wall fixings will be more than on the ceiling, and especially if you tighten the line. A sagging line would be better. In either case, fixing to the wall will require drilling and fixing the hooks with a wall plug or masonry anchor.

Put the ceiling piece in place ...attach the light portion by aligning the piece (see the instruction diagram) and turning it to lock and secure. When you have to replace the battery....turn the light portion the opposite way and it should come off. Go to the website, it has a video which is a great help too. www.mrbeams.com

Yes, you can take the mounted ring off. And you can put it back but it may reduce the adhesive property. Somehow, they provided you with several mounted rings in different shapes to practice.

There is a ring that holds the sockets in place. If you want to make it easy to remove the sockets just squez the ring with pliers

Take the red dome off and screw through the holes. Forgot if came with sticky tabs but think this is too heavy to hold. Use screws.
