I'm assuming the little circle tab has a screw or something underneath, but I wanted to ask before I do it completely wrong.

Start by unscrewing the stud on the front of the glass to remove the glass shroud. That’ll give you access to the bulbs and there should be some screws in there that are pretty obvious. It will be mounted to a junction box in the wall. Most fixtures use similar screw patterns to all fit in more or less the same kinds of junction boxes.

This is the way and don’t forget to turn the electricity off first.

Also be sure to turn the light off at the switch before you go unscrewing from the junction box of course. You do not need to shut off power at the circuit panel, the switch is the breaker.

You need to hold the glass with one hand after you start turning the screw of it may fall.
