Does this light fixture have a protective film on it? If so, how does it come off?

No,it did not have a fm,and it was packed nicely. And it does not come with bulbs.

I just double checked with my wife and neither one us remember any protective coating film. If you think that there might be some type I'd contact the mfg.Good luck.

It's been awhile since we put it up, but if I recall correctly it had a plastic cling sheet on it that pulled off easily with no sticky residue.

I have mine outside, they are not a water tight fixture but they are well protected from the elements. I have not had any problems, they have been up for about 3 months. So far so good!!

There is a clear plastic piece that covers them from the condensation. I haven't had any get in to the lights yet.

There is a screw on top of the light that you have to unscrew. It is removed by hand, no screwdriver required. The light looks nice.

You unscrew the bottom but which allows the globe to slide off. Its not difficult.......the fixture looks very good and is perfect as my porch light.

You have to rotate/turn the light tube. If you look carefully there are two slots on either side of the light fixture. The light bulb has metal sprongs/tips at either end. You know I just tried and I don't remember how I did it. Try calling the company as they don't have online videos telling you how to remove this particular product. 800.842.8848

It's a wall switch (no switch on the fixture). It's a great fixture, well made.

Not exactly sure what piece you're referring to, but I did not remove anything before start up. the bulb should not be exposed to water.

Yes, mine has a metal u shaped cover that attaches to the lower part of the fixture.

There is a tab in the light that needs to be removed. It's just a pull tab like the ones used to protect batteries.

They have a single screw on top of the chrome piece to be removed. Then attach the light base, they are hot/ground sensitive, must be wired correctly to operate, check operation before closing it up or reverse wires if it didn't work that way. After the base is mounted, screw the chrome cover to the base, all plastic, do not over tighten - it won't fall off.

Hi,The plastic cover arrived totally cracked in half. I was going to return it, but my husband got a hold of it and tried to glue it. That did not work. He went to the "big box store" and found a cover that would fit with the light bulb clip part. It is working fine over the light bulb in the middle of the ceiling. If the light has a wall power switch this works fine. If it has a pull string the fixture will be cock-eyed.

The top hat part of the light fixture can get mounted directly to the ceiling. It can't be removed, as the workings of the fixture are all housed in it.

I have installed two outside in a lighting fixture similar to the "Nautical Outdoor Burnished Bronze 8 in. Outdoor Wall Light" sold on Amazon.com, mine was purchased locally . The fixtures protect the lights from direct rain and are inside a glass globe, however it is not sealed with a gasket.They run from dusk to dawn on a timer. To date I have had zero issues.

Mine had a soft foam sleeve as well that had to be removed before turning on the light. There was no plastic on the bulb! Could some small pieces of the foam packaging could have stuck to the bulb and melted?

The fixture is a self contained fluorescent light fixture that you "hard wire" to existing house wiring. It has an on/off switch that you can leave "on" if your current light you are replacing has a wall mounted light switch. You hang it on the wall with two screws.

Hi Keemee, The lighthouse is hollow but you cannot take the light fixture off to put something below it. At least I have not found a way to remove the light fixture.
