I just ordered this oven. I see that some say that the bulb burned out and it cannot be replaced. Is there a way to care for the bulb so it lasts?

I Have not had any problems with the bulb at all let the oven cool off before you turn it off and the bulb is replaceable just send a email to the secura and they will send you a link for buying the replacement bulb .Bulb # 12 Liter Turbo Oven Halogen Bulb SKU:TOVEN-BULB-1303 you can buy threw amazon 19.65 USD so people who say bulb is not replaceable are wrong.

We took extra good care of our oven, by taking it apart and cleaning it regularly. I see now they're offering the bulb for sale, but it's complicated to replace. I loved the oven, but after 2 ovens and 2 bulb fails. I got a NuWave

Yes, very difficul to do by you self, also the bulb is very short life, I'm change three bulbs in 10 month. but Secura is good service.You need send back to them.

Let me come back with a question. Since bulb replacement appears to be (or is becoming) a major problem, why doesn't SECURA answer this question FOR EVERYBODY themselves, along with a step-by-step procedure for replacement? Make it an open response. The machine's worth it, by the way. A really great oven! BJ

Sorry,I don't know .Perhaps the web-site for Secura Digital could shed some light on it's replacement.

You can replace the bulb if your handy but you have to cut the wires and replace the crimped wire attachments. Ive had two bulbs go. The problem I see is a design flaw that doesn't protect the bulb from splattering. Halogen bulbs are very sensitive to oils. Both times it has burned out after my wife cooked bacon. Loved using it but until they fix that issue its going to be tough to keep a bulb in it for long

I have only owned this one for a month, but I have owned a convection oven for 20 years. I have not had an experience of a burned out bulb. Should that happen, they have a website. I would contact the company @ Customercare@thesecura.com. I have and do enjoy using it. So, use it and if you are apprehensive about it, I would send it back. I don't know of a way to care for it. Except to use it according to the instructions and keep it cleaned after every use. (meaning washing and wiping down the inside of the top for grease build up.) Enjoy!

When I removed my old burned out bulb the glass pulled out. When I replace it again (I own 2 of these type desklights) I am going to try pulling the "Base" and not the bulb. BTW: One of the suggestions is to use soft cloth when handling the glass part to prevent the oil from your fingers from tainting the light emission. ALSO .... The base is "Crimped" together and it "Will" pull apart. That also happened to me.

It's not a lamp that has bulbs that you can replace. It's an Led strip. If one or all of the led's go out it would be a warranty issue. GOOD LED's out last regular bulb's any day. I know I have well over a 1000 hours on my lamp without any problems

Have not replaced bulb yet. Mine is due for new filters after 1 yr use. So far it works great! Let me know where you find it - I'm at toddcruiser at y a h o o (the yellow smiles place). Good luck on search. I would suggest taking it by a small electronics repair shop in your city. They are good at finding rare tubes, bulbs, etc.

Nancy, I did not get your question, but I have had this oven for over 3 years. I love it! It is the best oven I have ever had. The only thing I have found is when I clean it, the highest cleaning level is too much. I have to use the medium level of cleaning. Other than that this is the perfect oven. When I get a new stove, I will buy electrolux. I hope this helped you. Any other questions, please ask.

Mine has lasted 2 years now. When you installed it you did not touch the lamp at all with your fingers and transfer anything to the lamp face? That maybe could create a hot spot and it burned out? Sometimes there is just a defect.When I first installed it I must have jarred the optical block so I had a rose tint across the top of the screen about 3 inches down. After a while you learn to ignore it, but I noticed recently that the line is gone. I moved the set a bit recently to get at a side connector and I am wondering whether that jarred something back in place. Now I won't move the set at all until the bulb dies again or something else goes south. Mine has lasted 2 years now.

Might be from dust that is getting burnt from the heat of the new bulb. Try some compressed air to blow the dust out.

It's a special bulb, which can be replaced. I'm am still using the same bulb that came with the lamp. About 4 years now, I believe.

I would hope it would last more than a month. I have owned mine for three weeks. I don't know about the bulb. Maybe we should go to the web site and ask some questions. I love the way it looks really modern but I can't afford to buy a new one each month. Good luck. Jimmy Morris

We haven't had the lamp long enough to need to replace the bulb. These LED bulbs last a really long time. Looking at the lamp it doesn't appear to be replaceable.

I tried to purchase replacement parts as well, to no avail. I ended up just purchasing another entire unit which only lasted 11 months. I do not believe the product is meant to last long term. I gave up and bought a toaster/broiler oven.

there are no replacement bulbs. these are LED's and they should last over 30,000 hrs. if it died in it could be a electrical problem. I would contact Daylight.

No, unless you can get a replacement from the manufacturer which they don't sell at the least the last time I checked. You can call them and see if they sell a replacement bulb. The halogen bulb is very difficult to remove even with appropriate and special tools. It is essentially unfixable to the average consumer. Best option is to buy the replacement insurance for around 25 dollars from Amazon and just replace the unit. The system (bulb and or whole unit) seems to only last about a year or two at most so buying the insurance at least one time will pay for itself over time in terms of replacements. If you want to stick to IR convection ovens, Black and Decker makes a model (called Infrawave) that based on reports from others who I know have the unit will last longer but it may not cook as fast or well as the Secura Digital unit. It doesn't have the glass cooking bowl so the oven is more difficult to clean. But that is the tradeoff for getting a unit that has better reliability.

Yes the bulb is wearing out if its going on and off best to replace it and do not touch the glass it burns so hot the oil from your finger will make a hot spot and short life for the bulb but do recommend lube on the brass part just a touch so next bulb change will not stick in the socket silicone works the best I think but very little so it will not run down onto the glass of the bulb also check the light sensor is not picking up light from another source
