Here is the ceiling of my kitchen. I need to replace a bulb behind this cover. I've tried pushing it up and twisting but nothing moves. How can I open this cover up?

Hard to get a sense of scale from the pictures, but that looks like the sort of thing where the trim ring pulls down (a "can light") if the size is roughly 4-6" (100-150mm) diameter. They are usually held in by spring clips.

  • Yes, that's roughly the size. Sorry, how exactly does one open the cover and clips?

    There are variations, but normally you pull straight down on the outer ring, and the whole thing drops 3 inches or so and stops. Then you can squeeze the springs to fully release one or both sides completely for more access if needed.
