Opening light fitting

Question

I have a flush dome ceiling light in the bathroom. I am unable to open the glass dome to change the bulbs. I have tried Google, YouTube and everything. 
I tried using vinyl gloves and sticky tapes to try and twist it counter clockwise but it won't open. It's stuck! Can anyone give me some advice. 
Help!

Hello,

Try to twist counter clockwise and pull it down.

Alejandro · Answer

Hi,
Not all are removed by twisting anti clockwise.
Some are pull down and some can’t even be removed.
Or someone in the past could have glued it together. I’ve seen this a lot.
Best thing is to call an electrician who can help.

Get a hair dryer and heat the base for 5 minutes.  
Do not apply heat on the dome.
Then turn anticlockwise and pull.

Ernie · Answer

Push up and twist anti-clock wise. It has more than likely got stuck with the heat.

Martin · Answer

Hi, you could try lying the whole unit down; they are held by springs clips.

Christopher · Answer

Look for any visible grub screws you may have missed which could be preventing the diffuser from being unscrewed, or may need to use more force. I know some time fittings may appear fragile but a little extra force may be necessary in order to gain access.

There maybe a nut or a cover securing pin in the centre of the glass dome. If so, try removing it. If not use a qualified, experienced electrician. It maybe a simple fix but without being there it's difficult to diagnose. .

If the bulb is replaceable you will need a 'sucker device' . If not meant to be replaced (maintenance free!) then the whole fitting has got to be changed I'm afraid

Get an electrician to do it, as it looks like it may be stuck on something or maybe others replacing. You tried WD40 ?
