This mount works well but the plastic diffuser breaks easily when removed or reinstalled, a replacement will not.

This light works well but the plastic diffuser breaks easily when removed or reinstalled and replacements don't seem to be available. This is a problem because replacing a blown bulb requires removing and reinserting the diffuser. To get a new diffuser to replace the broken one, I bought a new bracket. To avoid problems with the diffuser, here's my suggestion: before you remove it, notice how the trailing edge fits the edge. fixtures. The easiest way to remove the diffuser is to gently pull the rear edge forward and down by moving from one end of the light to the other. If it doesn't come loose the first time, gently pull from end to end until it shifts. If necessary, heat the plastic with a hair dryer to make it less stiff. When replacing a diffuser, hook the leading edge, then gently push the trailing edge up and forward until the rear-facing cone channel snaps onto the rim of the bracket. Work from one end of the jig to the other. Again, heating the plastic with a hair dryer helps to make it less stiff.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
