Is there no way to replace light bulb as other reviewers say? Is New Mexico misspelled? Is this sturdy/is base heavy?

I will look at my grandson's and let you know. I do know the base is sturdy...not heavy.

Hi, New Mexico is spelled New Mexiko, the base is sturdy. Did not try to change the lightbulb, but would not make sense not to be able.

It's pretty easy to change the light bulb. Pull up lightly on the black plastic at the North Pole and remove the globe ... this will expose the light bulb. Yes New Mexico is misspelled New Mexiko. The base seems pretty sturdy but not too heavy.

Well, Massachusetts was spelled correctly. I never noticed New Mexico. I am going to give my kids that puzzel to hunt out. I have not changed the bulb yet and have looked on line for instructions because that question has come up before. I will gently pry apart plastic holder when the time comes. The base is sturdy enough. I have had one for a couple of years and my grandkids have one also. Theirs is used as a night light and it is still going.

No. It is a very small base. Smaller than standard bulbs and a little larger than candabra base.

As the other respondents have said, bulb replacement is easy. The only potential challenge would be if the fixture is mounted In a place that's awkward to reach.

This was a gift for my grandson. I don't know if they have tried replacing the bulb or not. If another person is having problems with it too, I wouldn't purchase it.

The bulb is replaceable. I replaced the 55 watt bulbs with 130 watt bulbs. I can't remember if they are a really hard plastic or a metal alloy. I know the mounting bracket is metal, not sure about the black casing.

They have a sturdy wooden base that I found doesn't scratch. You do have to insert the bulb into the base. They're pretty "rock solid." I've given a few away as gifts and every single person loves them!

I really don't know the answer, but I would guess that indeed the bulb is replaceable. There should be a mention in specs about the size of the bulb for replacement. I would add, as I bought two of these lamps, that they are made decently, however, the lamp and arm are heavy enough that I'll need to reinforce the wall mount. Moving the lamp arm, as it is mounted presently, shifts the wall mounting, and the lamp rocks a bit. I think the mounting should be made better, more solid.

I would have to admit, changing a light bulb in my fixture will reguire a handyman. My fixture is on a high ceiling in a stairway.

It was pretty big, so that may be an issue. Thankfully, I've never had to replace the bulbs in either microwave or stove. It has the standard lightbulb threading, if that helps.

I took a peek, and yes the bulb is smaller. I didn't unscrew it so I don't know about the base.

If under warranty you can send it to them and have it fixed. You pay the freight. Under warranty they will send you a bulb. There are no instructions or enough parts (high temperature crimps) to easily replace it. It is not designed to be replaced. My bulb blew up within 60 days. I fixed it with a new bulb, but I didn't consider my fix reliable. It works now but is destined for the garbage.

Yes it takes a normal light bulb. I purchased this but ended up not using it. It doesn't look very good from bottom. You can see inside the sconce and the inner parts aren't very good looking. I would just go to Lowes. You will be able to see what one looks like hanging. I got a really good looking one from there.

The bulb that is at Walmart is too thick for this fixture. I think the correct replacement I've only seen at Spencer's in the mall. You buy it, and carefully twist it in.

The bulb in the leg came included, we only had to put the main bulb in, 60watt.... The main bulb can be changed like a usual lamp, the bulb in the leg looks like you have to disassemble the top main top plate by two screws, push main cord back through to get bulb out of leg.. we just did it but didn't push the cord all the way through... We'd have to look at the directions of which are in the attic in the box but still looks to be like an easy change.. Hope this helps!! Oh this lamp is very well constructed..

The box and the limited documentation give little clue. I took box to a few hardware stores. they did not have it, but I am told bulb last a very long time. Try the manufactures website and see if they have a contact us section.

The bulb is part of the whole lamp and cannot be replaced. So, the whole lamp must be replaced. BUT I LOVE my lamps !!! I have one on either side of my bed and highly recommend them. The light is bright and all you could ask for.
