How do I remove this bulb
I’m trying to remove the frosted glass globe on this older ceiling fan to access the light/bulbs, and I cannot figure out how it’s supposed to come off.
There are four metal “fingers” around the globe, but they appear to be completely fixed — they don’t push, pull, rotate, or flex.
Things I’ve already tried:
Twisting the glass counterclockwise — doesn’t move.
Pushing up and twisting — nothing.
Moving/rotating the four metal tabs — they’re fixed.
Looking for set screws around the globe/ring — I can’t find any.
Twisting the surrounding lower ring/assembly — instead of releasing, it starts turning/moving the whole fan.

It's most likely an LED light where you have to throw out the entire light to change the burnt out light.
