I purchased a product similar to this and it "burnt out" after turning light on just twice in one week. Any comments about this products reliabilty?

I haven't had any problems with it this far. Assuming you don't trim the strip improperly, it should last quite a log time. I've used the stop for long and short durations without issue.

Well, we've had it for a few weeks now and it's fine. I only turn it on when we're watching a film in the dark though. Don't leave it on all the time of course.

It's been reliable for the month I've had it... That said, I have very good experience with Antec Customer Service and don't doubt that if there was an issue you would be getting a replacement.

I've used these lights for over 2 years. I'm about to buy another one for a 2nd TV.

This one I have had for...4 months? and still working perfectly. No issues with it at all and we use the TV a lot too! I will recommend this product.

I'd send the bad one back. It should last longer. The LED part is probably good, the circuitry sometimes fails. Can't remember the warranty, thought it was a year.

You have given me valuable info .Might be a reason not to but another Dorcey if there are no light replacements .Not a good sign.I will try looking into this. seaBee

The first lamp I purchased had one bank of LEDs flicker and go off periodically after the first 60 days of use, but never all of the LEDs. Your unit sounds defective. I had to contact the manufacturer about my flickering bank of LEDs. They were very helpful, and in my case they sent a replacement lamp.

I never kept the product because mine came broke on delivery. How ever Halogen lights can get warm and go off but not every 10 minutes, something is wrong with your light to make it over heat that quickly. Did you put a higher walt bulb in it by any chance? That might account for the problem otherwise you got a defected one contact them. Hope this helped Good Luck Shari

Same thing happened to mine. I ordered a replacement sensor - called a TOUCH LIGHT SENSOR by OK Lighting from Amazon (Prime). It's the same thing that is in the base of the lamp now. I'm only going to try one replacement sensor because I read that these touch lamps should not be left on all the time. I was using it for a lamp during the day and a night light at night so I guess I wore it out (in only a little over a month)!!!!! I really like the lamp and it will be a shame to have to trash it !!!!!

You know what. I've had that happen before. Seems normal. It's an amazing lamp. If you're still worried I would go straight to the source at www.philips.com and click on the contact link at the bottom and chat with them.

It works great in mine - here's a tip though.....for some reason my bulb would turn itself off every few hours when it was dark out, perhaps being triggered by some reflection of its own light. I put some pieces of masking tape over the light sensor to make it less sensitive and that fixed it, now it's on all night long but still off during the day.

Yes, the bulb life is very poor. After a couple of weeks, it dimmed and burned out,

Not that I am qualified to answer an issue like this (I did not make it) but if it happened to me, I'd arrange for a return - the bulbs are fantastic though my 2 are still going strong! Try to get a refund - don't take a chance with faulty lighting - it could cost $$$ in the long run.

Okay, I've been asked to review this item several times... and this is the first I've heard of this. I'm pretty sure, mine warmed up right away. It sounds like you need to check to see if the light bulb is screwed in all the way so it's making a connection. If not, I would exchange the light bulb... keep the other light bulb until you make sure if the replacement light bulb does the same thing because it could be the lamp itself.

No. Don't worry. I am lit most days myself as is the Channel ports LEDs for a couple years now.It been working fine since I installed it. They were lit up then too.

I had one that stayed lit for hours originally. It does not work at all now, stopped after a week. The other never worked.

Sorry I can't help. I threw mine out after it failed to work in the lamp we bought it for. In fairness, I think the lamp was the problem, not the bulb.

I have had problems with CFLs and LEDs in this lamp. They burn out quickly. I believe it has to do with the transformer in the power cord.

Also in response to the 5 second blow out, we experienced something similar with the light but once we bought new bulbs, which you can find on amazon as well, we have had no problems with it and it works well.

No. My lights all work. I think I would send it back and have A Amazon send you another.
