Hey everyone,

I'm attaching a picture of the lighting in my room. It ceased to function when I moved in last month, and I really want to take it down in order to see what's going on. I've tried to physically remove it by trying to pry open the 3 clips individually, but to no avail. Can anyone show me some light!?

Thanks!

The clips are probably spring loaded and fit into some type of box or plate at the ceiling. Try pulling straight down on the globe. Be careful to not break the globe.
