the outer disk cover 33 to limit the shift of ceiling 200. Further, the area of outer
disk cover 33 is definitely wide to cover the differently sized inset hole 201 of
the ceiling 200, thereby the installation being finished.
[0019] Contrarily, to remove the lamp according to this invention from the inset hole 201
of the ceiling 200, the lamp according to this invention is revolved in a reverse
direction only towards the free end of elastic clamping flake 34 from the top down.
Being convergent, the bottom of elastic clamping flake 34 led by the inset hole 201
is bent inwards by degree until the lamp according to this invention is fully removed
from the inset hole 201 of the ceiling 200, thereby the removal being finished.
