Resolved How to get LED covers off

[Topo]

I'm having a tough time getting these covers off. I just want to change the color temp with some gel lenses, as suggested by the rv dude on YouTube: He starts the description at about 1 minute in. I've tried twisting, prying with a screwdriver and squeezing. Got one off, but don't know how. Also asked on another forum, but still seeking advise from where I can get it. thanks

I just replaced the two ceiling florescent fixtures with comparable LED fixtures. The diodes on the new fixtures are embedded into the base and cannot be changed. The cover does come off, but only for installation and removal of the fixture. When they fail, remove and replace with an entire new piece.

No reason to take the covers off, you can't replace LED's. Just replace it/them:

FYI - Replacement LED puck lights

I've been very fortunate unlike other stories with the LED ceiling lights in my 2017 Newmar Ventana. But I had one start flickering underneath the master bathroom cabinet so it was time to replace. Newmar parts doesn't sell the ones for my coach anymore, the cover for it is not the same type...

Thanks for the replies. I figured out the covers twist, and once I sorted out how best to do that, they came off easily. I've put the color temp change lenses in and will see if that achieves the result as suggested by that RV Tips YouTube guy.

Glad you figured the 100° counter clockwise trick.

There is a saying in photography that says you can't get a color that was not captured in the original picture!

That said, you can get a color that is close to a tungsten lamp, but it is just coloring the light! I won't use filters for lights, because the filter reduces the light output. I would rather get warm light fixtures because I would rather not have a bunch of flashlights around the house!
