Need help replacing LED spotlight over shower cubicle
Hi. I have an inverted spotlight above my shower and the light bulb has gone so need to replace the LED spotlight but I don’t know how to get into the fitting to replace the bulb. Unfortunately I don’t have the make and model as it was installed as part of a bathroom refit. Have tried turning the central unit hoping it would drop out and also tried unscrewing the whole unit but neither seems to be opening up the unit. I’m afraid to put too much pressure on either part in case I break the light or pull wires out. Can anyone advise how I can get into the bulb to replace it, photo attached. Thanks very much.
Either trim ring might snap in place. Check the edge of each for a dimple (dimple might not be round) in at least one spot. Use a flat screwdriver near that spot to pry the trim loose. A putty knife against the ceiling with help prevent scarring.
The white wire coming into the recessed can isn't attached to the housing the bulb screws into. I'm not sure how the wire is supposed to connect to the housing. Since I'm using retrofit LEDs can I just bypass the bulb housing and connect the wires from the LED directly to the wires coming into the can?

Ran into an issue the ceiling pan affixed to one of my room lights has all the markings covered over with paint. Cannot tell if ceiling electrical pan is rated or safe to use with ceiling fan.
Seems as if screws through pan affix it to a wooden stud.(pics at end)
Is this ceiling fan rated yes/no? What steps do i need to verify, if its indeterminate?
thank you,
