Easy Process Of Removing Acrylic Cover From A Fluorescent Light Fixture
If you are looking to remove acrylic cover from a fluorescent light fixture, you can do it easily as you will only need a strongly and solidly built step stool as well as a little bit of knowledge about the process of doing it. In spite of its appearance, these fluorescent light covers are exceptionally thin & light in weight as well as flexible. As long as you are able to balance on a step stool and reach overhead, there will be no problem when it comes to getting rid of an old cover and installing a new fluorescent light cover replacement. Go through the below-mentioned easy process carefully & try to remove acrylic cover from a fluorescent light fixture.
- Acrylic fluorescent light covers are perfectly & altogether flat as well as rest inside of a decorative frame. Nothing special takes hold of the cover in place, other than the ledge of the frame. In order to remove an acrylic cover from a fluorescent light fixture, first of all, you need to push up on one of the short ends of the cover & at the same time support the other short end with your other hand.
- As you push up on one short end, tilt or turn that end of the cover up into the light fixture a little bit. This will help in creating enough space for the other short end to drop down. Simply move skilfully or carefully the acrylic cover as long as a long side comes out of the frame, as well. The cover is usually composed of a flexible material, therefore, if you are looking to smoothly bend one of the corners to get it to pop out of the frame, then it shouldn't break.
- When the cover is entirely & thoroughly out of the frame, it will be lightweight enough for you in order to take hold in one hand as you step off of the step ladder. If it is in good condition, then place it to one side while you are replacing the fluorescent lights. If it is broken, calculate or compute its dimensions so that you can purchase a new one.
Replacing An Acrylic Cover
Replacing an acrylic cover is simply as easy as getting rid of it. You will start by tilting or turning one short end into the frame, followed by one long end. From there, keep moving the acrylic cover skillfully or carefully into the frame by sliding it back and forth in order to create room for the other sides to push into the frame. You may need to smoothly & firmly bend the final corner to get it into the frame. When all sides are in the frame, you need to make sure that the cover is lying flat and is positioned on the frame evenly.
