There are a number of different kinds of indoor plastic light fixtures. Ceiling lights attach to the ceiling and provide lighting for a room or hallway. Although the process may vary slightly between lighting fixtures, the basic ceiling light removal procedure is the same, no matter what type of indoor plastic you have.
Instructions
1. Turn off the breaker switch that gives power to the room, if possible. Keep in mind this may also turn off the power for other items, such as refrigerators. If this isn't possible, at least turn off the light switch. Determine if you can access the light fixture without a ladder or stool. Grab one if necessary.
2. Inspect the indoor plastic ceiling light. Some fixtures have a plastic or glass cover, while others do not. If yours has a cover, remove it. Some covers have screws, while others simply slide off.
3. Remove the lightbulbs from the unit by twisting them counterclockwise. Dispose of the lightbulbs.
4. Inspect the base of the fixture where it attaches to the ceiling. You should see screws that attach it to the mount. They also may be behind the bulb socket.
5. Remove the screws from the fixture and pull it straight down. Hold on to it carefully -- it's still attached to wires. Remove the wires from the fixture to separate the plastic ceiling light from the ceiling.
