Carefully chip away the plaster around the light.

The GloBrites use a proprietary niche. You have to twist the light to remove it.

In 2024 Pentair released an improved GloBrite light that a blue gasket and black end cap (left side), with improvements to the electronics inside to fix the failures the lights have been having.

The issue with the original Globrites was two different types of material was used in manufacturing, the body and the end where the wire went into the light were different so when the lights were on it generated heat and the seal was broke filling the light with water which resulted in cracking the housing.
