Need to tighten the lights on wall above bed

[daveinaz]

You know those two lights on the wall above the head of the bed?? Well, ours are loose. Everytime I tow it anywhere, they are sitting sideways. I figure there's a nut behind it holding it onto the wall, but how to get to it?

Here is what I would do. I think this is a 12 volt light. Take the light down and see what is behind it, probably nothing but thin paneling. If so drill out the exesting holes and replace the screws with butterfly screws. If you have a plastic or medal box back there, doubtful, and the screws are stripped out tap them to the next larger size and replace the screws.

If it’s 110 volt be sure to cut the power off to the light. Then ckeck with a volt meter to be sure. We don’t wont this to become a shocking experience.

My 2007 lamps look just like that. In storage so I would have to go look. But as remember there are two screws going thru the wall plate into the wall.

My 2008 lamps are the same. Just looked at them and their are two screws holding the plate onto the wall.

Thanks. So I should be able to undo the two screws, remove the light from the wall, then tighten the nut (I assume) on the back of the plate that tightens the tube of the fixture.

That would be correct if the lamp assembly is connected to the rest of the fixture by the common lamp nut as some are.
