How do I change these LEDs?

[dedmiston]

I have some burned out LED lights and I can’t figure out how to open the fixtures. Any tips?

The glass twists off. I have halogens, but same thing. The "lamp" is on spring clip. Pull it down enough so you can grip the glass and twist is off. Sometimes, the glass sticks, so what I did was spray a very light coating of WD-40, just in one or 2 spots, where the glass meets the metal and wait a few minutes. Then try again. After you get it off, clean the area of WD-40 and put a small bit of valeline on the glass for net time. Very small amount. When you do this, be sure you are secure. I use a ladder as I am short and it pays to have a good grip. If you feel safer use some gloves to grip the glass with one hand and the metal base with the other. Be careful, as the mount is fragile and you don't want to break it. For the Halogens, I have to use lintless white gloves so I don't get oil on the bulb. I don't know if this would be necessary for an LED, but it would not hurt. GOOD LUCK!

I have (had) the same type. The LED chips had a disappointingly short life... Initially replaced 2 fixtures with an equivalent, but kinda pricey for what they were... Created an alternative...Cabin Bright sells a NICE replacement LED chipset for ITC fixtures - see https://www.cabinbright.com/product/itc-fixture-replacement-led-set/ - I replaced the PCB in the original fixtures with a piece of roofing aluminum I cut to the same size. Drilled a 1/4" hole for the wires thru the center of the replacement square of aluminum, then adhered the new chipset right to that (serves as a heatsink, too). Re-installed the original fixture with the new board - great results! Available in various temperatures, too.

ANSWER: The center lens pops out with a blade. Problem solved.

The outer rings are stationary.

I have had some that screwed on and others that had a notch in the cover, rotate to line up and it falls out. as for the burned out LED's you may need to just replace the whole light. They run about 12 bucks or so.

That’s the same ones I have they rotate ccw

If you can't see any fasteners and it won't unscrew, I would use a thin knife blade to pry it away from the ceiling. You should find a small printed circuit board underneath.

I would try pushing up on the ring and turn CCW.

Check for power and ground at the lights before replacing.
