This probably isn't the proper forum for this, but I need all the traffic I can get! Take a look at the following light:

Attached at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions, the inner white ring pivots with the light. I can't unscrew it like a regular lightbulb. How do I change this thing without ripping apart my ceiling and/or electrocuting myself?
Thanks in advance!

pull from the outsides its hold on by expanding clips once its out the bulb is held with bulb holder to that bezel
looks like a Par 20

Does it only pivot forwards and back only?
I was watching my friend remove a bulb like that last week, it was a pain in the ass for him but he eventually removed it, I could ask for instructions, but I'm not sure if its the same one

Outside ring, reef on the motherfucker. I have the same lights, different color in my media room.
Don't actually reef it you'll split the tile slowly wiggle it loose.

the whole thing comes off if you gently pull on it.. it's held on by 2 spring clips. just put your finger nails along the outter edge and pull one side at a time.

As quasi said.....
And since it's a drop ceiling, just pop the tile next to it and watch what you're doing from the top.

As everyone has said, just try to pull it from the outer edge of the other casing.

you're asking the wrong group, you see, us asians would know how to cut corners and produce it for cheap, but only a white man would know how to install it and utilize the tool properly. haha

Thanks for the help guys! I pulled the whole thing out, then unscrewed the bulb from the socket. Here's what it looks like:

To get the bulb out of the housing, I had to pull on the black metal tabs on either side. It was wedged in there pretty tight!
Yah it's a par 20!

No, I try to buy it when it's free. :p
But if I really need something, then I'll get it when it's on sale. :D
Those PAR20 light bulbs are freakin' expensive... $9.99 for a 3-pack regularly, or $21.99 for the 6-pack.
I got a 6-pack for free using those Canadian Tire scratch and save coupons a few months back. ;)
