Wow. That looks just like what's up there now. Thank you all. That may be the way to go.

To remove the lens on that style light, no tools.  Just pry a little on the yellow lens with your fingers and it will pop out of the groove.

Ron,
where did you purchase the LED light? I want one. Thanks

Be careful. I'm purdy sure there is a screw on the end cap possibly covered with a cap. I've been wrong before, though. If you're going to throw it away, however, it's moot. Pry away.

Just found a good one on ebay. Thanks, Twig. I wanted to buy one at the Big Tent at Q, but thought it was too expensive. I am changing out my fluorescents to LED, and this is on the list. I will be careful.

Here is the inside scoop of the light over the door. Two short LED strips in mine after removing the flourescent guts.  I put a loop of wire between the two strips so if they were too bright (they are) I could just clip a wire to the second strip and have only one.  I did not use waterproof strips here, they are well enough protected and I have found the the waterproof strips can overheat if you leave them on for a long time.

The yellow lens comes off from the top.  Once you get it started from one end it will flex a bit and pop out.  The hook edge goes down, the flanged edge up.

Just fixed the light. Lens popped right out from the bottom. It was the bulbs but the grand plan is to convert to LED as a winter project. Thank you to all you kind folks for your help and advice.

You can just change the bulb out to a led bulb.

It's much easier to remove the screw and slide the lens cover off. Towards the rear, my patio awning interferes with it sliding it forward
