for a picture.
There are no visible screws or fasteners anywhere on the fixture. It holds
two light bulbs, and I need to change one.
TIA!

I can't tell for sure, but some of these unscrew from the base.
Have you tried that?
I have also seen these that have slotted connectors so that you turn
it about 1/8 to 1/4 turn and then pull down, similar to the way a
smoke detector is removed from its base.

You simply pull the globe off. It's held on by spring clips.
Looking at the picture, it may have clips inside the globe, spring loaded that
press outwards holding the globe in place.

Thanks for the fast response!

I hadn't, but I did after I read your reply. Unfortunately, this one doesn't
unscrew from the base.

Tried that, too, but nope, that's apparently not it either.
I tried turning the globe at your suggestion, but it just turns more or less
freely. It feels like there's something metal scraping against it (spring
clips, maybe?), but no evidence of a peg in a slot.
I suspect you're right, because as I pull downwards on the globe, I'm able
to pull it away from the base somewhat, and can feel the tension holding it
back. However, the base also seems to want to pull away from the ceiling.
Obviously, I don't want to yank the fixture out of the ceiling. Is there
some trick to pulling the globe off the base, or a way to release the clips
once I've pulled the globe a certain distance?
Your noted website: Lighting Universe.com has a section entitled:
"CUSTOMER SUPPORT"
What did they say ?
I have several (actually about ten) lights like this, and the first few
times made me nervous too. But if you kind of rock the globe from side
to side while you pull you only have to fight friction on one side at a
time and it goes a little easier.
Thanks, Dan, that worked like a charm!
Of course! (;-)
