Well, I can't seem to locate my spotlight. I know I didn't sell it but at this point I'm just not sure where I put it... Let me see if I can locate Doug.

alrighty... checked a handle I had in my stash

once you get the cap off (flat head screw holding it on), you look inside the handle. you'll see a brass post and a hex nut. take the handle and hold it. get a deep well 9/16" and try to turn the nut. hopefully it will come off and so will the handle. if not, no sweat. it will unscrew the brass post out of the housing. then with the handle out, the brass post can be gripped with a pair of vice grip and then you can get your socket on the nut for removal.

oh, and try some Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster, etc on the nut before you start wrenching.

good luck!!

Ive also got a unity light, mine came right off when I unscrewed off the nut next to the black handle,and it was easier then I thought
