I tried pulling it off the end, but it wont come off. Do I need to just really wrench it off?
Afraid to break it.
Thank you
Ditto on the tech, I am one littlelite down... guess ill keep tugging at it!
Thank you
General rule of thumb: when in doubt, use more force.

Thanks for the post, Donn! I always love it when a manufacturer's tech or vendor joins the forum to help us out. It really shows that the company cares about customer service.
Hello, a colleague tipped me off to this thread. Most likely the heat from the bulb has dried out the rubber o-rings and fused them to the hood. Twist the hood back and forth while you pull the hood off of the gooseneck and it should break free. It is also possible that someone has installed our Hood Locking Kit accessory on this light. This kit replaces one of the o-rings with a round spring clip that snaps into a ridge we mill into the inside of the hood. This ring has to be compressed with a pair of needle nose pliers in order to release the hood. (These are usually used on our automotive lights to prevent the hoods from being pulled off accidentally.) I invite anyone with Littlite issues to contact me via our website directly for solutions.

I've started running a deburring tool around the gooseneck end of the hoods when I change lamps, it's a lot easier to get it slid back over the o-rings with a little chamfer on the leading edge.
