Got my lamp today. All seems OK. Gave it 12 hours to reach room temp. My "lava" is a big "Hockey Puck" on the bottom. Is that normal?

Upon arrival of mine, the wax in the bottom was like a "Hockey Puck". I plugged the lamp in and within 4 hours the wax had melted and everything seemed to working perfectly. If your wax never melted, I think you should contact your place of purchase.

I just got mine. Other than the bulb being loose, I am quite satisfied. I notice nothing wrong with the cord. It could be a bit longer.

One last point. When you handle the lamp do not touch the bulb itself. The oil from your fingers can cause an uneven heat distribution on the glass which has been known to break the glass at temperature. Suggest you use surgical gloves.

Do you actually own one and had the light go out? My first one I had for about 2 years. I live about a mile from the everglades in South Florida so I run mine 24x7 except for when it is too cold for mosquitoes which means I run it nearly all year and I never had the bulb go out. Its an led and it does not appear that it is replaceable. My guess is that the fan would die first. Mine just got knocked on the floor one too many times.

The original question has been adequately answered, but I have a further observation. It is a nice lamp, but the base is small, and the lamp is inclined to tip when being switched on and off. I glued the lamp to a round piece of stained and varnished plywood (5" or 6" diameter) with thin felt glued on the bottom. It works.

It seems to me that your OxyLED lamp has a problem. I would send it back to be fixed or replaced. I checked mine again and it always starts and stops if I touch it right over the LED in a fast manner. If It were as erratic as yours is I would be dissatisfied for sure. I ordered on of the other mfgr's lamps that you mentioned. I'll see how it compares. As you said it is $20 less expensive which is a good feature too.Vic NettleI am in Tampa Florida, where are you, Yoon?

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.

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

Hey...same thing happened to me. Shake it to 'fluff up' the down. Puff it w your hand too. I did that for about 10 min. Mine ended up expanding. Mine is actually too warm for me. I have to run the heat down 4-5 degrees more than I used to.. but then I don't want to get out of bed in the am. Good luck w it...should be fine.Morrison

I don't have this problem, but it sounds like you have an electrical short in the lamp. I would return it. Good luck.

I have the light on the top, and I don't know if the lamp can be under ice or liquids.But what trigger the light is a "movement sensor". So, if I open the door and the sensor can't "see" the movement, the light is OFF (don't turn on). I suppose the sensor don't work with a lot of ice over it.(I hope you inderstand my English, because I'm from Chile).

Mine does get hot, I have it on my lamp now and the paper is very warm but not hot. My halgen bulb is about 9 inches from the paper though. It is not sitting right near the paper. I have had no problems with them melting in any way.

Call Amazon, I had the same problem with two of the four lamps that I have ordered over the past few months. I eThey were great and replace the two, and I asked for a discount on the other two and kept them just for nite light, and they still are only warm. I am happy with amazons customer service , the two that they replaced are still not as warm as the first one I bought, so it must be just the luck of the draw. they look great, and they do seem to help with odors. in my mind I feel that they are doing me some good, so what else matters. Good luck with your lamps.

I just removed my lamp bulb to check it out. There are no signs of burning or melting the bulb holder. I have had this lamp about 3 months, but use it extensively, sometimes leaving it on for 3 or four hours at a time.

Mine arrived with a color changing light...do I just switch the light bulb or is that my only option? I have to unscrew the bottom to find out...I've had it plugged into my computer for about 15 minutes and the salt is cold.

I don't have them in lamps that are very tight around the fan, but I have noticed an intermittent fan noise in one of the 150W bulbs I purchased that goes in a lamp that has a glass hemisphere that acts like a megaphone. I'm not sure if it's at a resonant frequency, or just a random issue in one of them. The base can get very warm (I just put my hand on one that's been going for an hour and a half overhead), but not too hot to touch. I'm not sure how hot is too hot, though PacLights may have more information.

Hi Ann, Thanks for the extra information. Check underneath your lamp base, if you haven't already, to see if anything could be impeding the base. I have my lamp on fairly thick carpet and have no problems. You could shore up the base with a small piece of wood on one side, or if you haven't had the lamp very long, you could exchange it. It's a heavy, awkward piece, so I would try leveling one side if you can. I am sorry about your troubles. Mine is perfect, but I will say that it can be a little "top heavy" if one is not careful. I hope that this helps. Good Luck! :)
