Interior How to change a globe

[Curryhouse]

Should be simple but haven't figured it out yet. Any tips on how to remove the globe from the light shown? Do I have to remove the four screws securing the fixture or is there a simpler method?
Thanks in advance.
PS. The globe is a halogen one; I intend to replace with a LED equivalent.

Thinking, thinking...................I did one, it was a pain, I think I removed the whole thing and you could get at it from the back, not certain but I think something required the old twist to open sort of thing.............sorry can't be more precise.

I thought there should have been a twist to open too. Didn't want to force it and break it - have been know to have passion fingers on occasion

I tried pulling one apart, end up nearly breaking it, remove the whole unit & there is 2 screws in the back to hold the globe in place, still couldn't get the globe out.
So I replaced the 2 complete units with nice LED flexible ones, much happier with the decision.

Got the better of me, you have to remove the front rim, tilt it one way & force the clip.
Probably still have to remove the 2 screws from the rear to release the globe & reflector.

Now that I've done that, it's time to research the LED assy replacement as the ceramic in the globe is now broken , may use it for something else.

@Jags73 you're a legend. Thanks for the info. I'll try it out. Are you after a replacement globe but a LED type? I previously found a small size LED globe on eBay that I think should fit. If that's the part you're looking for, I'll send you a link.

Similar ones also come up in an eBay search.

Found the same MR11 on EBay as well, cheers @Curryhouse
I will replace the ones over the sink & bench space,
The ones I completely removed were on the bed head as they shined straight into our eyes, the flex LED fixed that problem.
So I will fit the removed lights to the lounge for reading lites, looking good

I opened this in anticipation of "2 electricians walk in to a caravan..."
Then realised it was serious, which reminds me I've got to change that clearance light.

MR11's can be flamin expensive little buggas from local shops, I ordered a few of them from Hong Kong the other day I hope they don't take a month to get here though.
