Apply pressure and twist. Alternatively there might be a small opening where you can stick in something and us it to rotate the cap. Some people paint over these things so it might be a bit stuck.
Turn it until you can put in a flat headed screwdriver in the side. Then you should be able to twist it until it pops up.
I managed to open it reasonably by using pliers to pull on the side instead of prying. Wish i had known that worked before destroying all the others in the house 😀
Electrician here.
Those fuckers get destroyed more often than not, we always have extras in our work vans.
Hammer and chiesel.
Violence.. Plenty of violence..
lift it up on one side and then run your finger around and pop it off. you can just lift it from one end but prob more likely to dmg it then.
Can’t be removed. You have to remove the wall around it
It’s honestly incredible that the twist on variants haven’t become standard everywhere.
Violence is key.

The real problem is that they often sticks due to paint, but a small screwdriver or a knife, as someone mentioned does the trick. On some, if not all, there is a hole for a screwdriver on a side.
Cutting charges, like what they use to breach doors.
As an electrician: with hatred and caffeine.
U have to use a dinglebob
Swear a lot directly at it
Vold
Mine are sealed with paint around the edge. Given up trying to remove it.
Check if they are painted on. If they are, you need to cut the loose First
With violence
I’ve opted out to use lamps instead of dealing with the whole installation. Moving to Denmark has opened a new world to me and also filled me up with tons of doubts.
Through sheer force of will. Oh, and a flathead screwdriver to the side of it will help too
Well. Mine were off. But I have given up on getting them back on 🙄
Fart in its general direction.
Dynamite. Lots of dynamite. And patience.
Fuck dæksler til lampeudtag. All my homies hate dæksler til lampeudtag.
Suction. You need to create a tight seal with your lips, and pretend to be a Nilfisk.
