i cant find a good "how to" anywhere.

CAn someone please explain it. I have managed to get mine in with essentially just "forcing" it down the side of the light and cliping it into the holes.

I have tried every imaginable way of getting it in the 3 slots on the light which i presume are for the domes but it makes no sense what so ever due to the construct of the "anchor" is sideways to the slot.

helps :(

As far as I know Sheldon N and Jannie use/used a glass dome so they should know how to attach it properly...

just to save anyone the heart ache i went through, the 3 slots in the reflector part of the light are NOT where the connectors go. you need to unscrew the 3 screws slightly and put the "cut out" bit under the screw and tighten. with the right angle bit of metal being a base for the dome to sit on and be tensioned against.

crazy stupid design but glad its all done now
