How do I inspect these? It’s a ceiling light. The cover appears to be glued to the ceiling but I could be mistaken. Don’t wanna tinker with this until someone knowledgeable here can help me.

Probably not glued, just painted around sloppily. Usually the plastic cover clips off, or sometimes the entire log hit fixing pulls down out of the ceiling. Try putting a flat screwdriver at the edge and twisting it to see if it pops off. Look around the edge to see if there’s and indentation anywhere. If there is, try to unclip it at that point.

Light fixture. Jesus Christ autocorrect.

Thanks, I’ll try.
Also, I’m trying to figure out if they are LED. I’ve been trying to gauge it on how much electricity they use by looking at the meter. Is 7-10W per bulb reasonable for a LED?

Yes that is LED.

The cover is probably held on with a couple metal clips. I'd take a razor and cut around the edges so you don't rip down a chunk of paint. Work a screwdriver or small pry bar under the edge and pull it down.

What is there to inspect? If it's working I would just leave it. Old plastic covers get really brittle with time and exact replacements are hard to find.

Try pushing up on the glass. I’ve seen these where there is a spring like mechanism that holds the glass in place. You sort of push it up and to the side.
