| I have a 15" x 50" oak wood frame fixture. There appears to be no way to remove it! It can be wiggled so it's not screwed on. It appears suspended from a black metal (or plastic?) base that is attached to the ceiling. I went to websit of texasfluorescent (it looks nearly identical to the item on their website) but found no instructions for changing the lightbulbs.
Thanks in advance for assistance! |

" You don't need to remove the fixture to change a flourescent tube, unless this is a very unusual light. The opaque glass or plastic panel should pop off or drop down depending on how it is secured. |

| What Roadbike said. The diffuser lifts or swings off. It has to because the bulbs don't last forever. |
|
| If you can't get it to budge, look for nearly-hidden metal tabs that you have to pivot out in order to loosen the cover. |
|
| Check the short ends for screws also. many 48 inch fixtures us a screw on each end in the middle to hold the cover to the metal reflector. |
