Mounting floodlight

robsav87 — Mon, 26 Dec 2022 22:15:41 GMT

So I purchased this #floodlight and my spouse installed it however not in a good place. I went to disassemble the mount only to realize once it’s in you can’t take it out. There’s also no mount piece that you can purchase. Any ideas or suggestions!

You can unscrew it, so I am puzzled by this comment. See the instructions on page 13 here (for mounting, but you can reverse them).

So the screws are hidden within the plastic so it’s not as simple as it sounds

Does that front ring unscrew?

Nope. When I told arlos help desk they said I’d need to hire an electrician to unfasten their mount from it. I find that rather ridiculous over a $7 part and they should just resell the part.

There shouldn't be anything blocking the access to the screws (after all, your spouse was able to put them in).

Looking at mine - if the exposed screw is unscrewed as far as it goes (there is a lock washer, so it won't come all the way out), then you should be able to twist the outer ring counterclockwise. Then pull it off. It doesn't twist very far.
