Am I correct? Do I really need a 7 inch skinny phillips screwdriver to reach the screws to disconnect the lamp?
Couldn't find necessary tool at Sears. Will go tomorrow to a real Hardware store, but wanted to make sure I have identified the screws correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks in advance for any help.I don't know what it requires, but in general for situations like that an extension (or 2) on a screwdriver that takes different size heads works, instead of having to buy a long screwdriver just for that task. Many socket/screwdriver kits would probably have extensions long enough.

Thanks for your reply. As it turns out, purchasing a 6 inch phillips screwdriver did the trick. My question was more because the instructions did not mention how recessed the screws are. With the right tool, it only took about 20 minutes. However, if the instructions were clearer, it would not have taken me 30 minutes of examining the assembly yesterday to decide what 4 screws they were talking about. My projector is on the ceiling and it was not necessary to take it down to do the job easily.
Perhaps my inexperience and subsequent question will help someone else when they are confronted with this modest task.
