Interior recessed ceiling lights

After multiple failures of the puck lights in our 2018 Ventana, Newmar covered the replacement of all 43. As mentioned, the originals were poor quality/prone to failure. We hope the new ones work better. Before this, I replaced a few myself, including some of the under-cabinet mousetrap types - those will bruise your fingers when removing.

Is there a secret on how to replace the light back in the hole with pinching my fingers more? When I pulled the light out the spring popped my finger pretty good.. It does not help any that the light is in the back of the cabinets.

Holding the spring clips back until you push the light back into the hole. Once the top of those spring clips are within the hole you're good. And yes, they're just like a Mouse trap if you let one go. Practice makes perfect... not to mention saving your fingers in the process
