I replaced the bulb, but the suction cups won't let go of the bulb, so now it is hanging from the 20 ft ceiling. How can I make it detach?

Try moving the rod in a small semi-circle and twisting it at the same time. Good luck.

I'm trying not to laugh as I visualize this. I can only imagine ur frustration and now a dangling rod from your ceiling. Try to moisten the suction and see if it doesn't release then.

I am sure that your problem has been solved by now, since I have not been checking my e-mails lately. When this problem happened to me, I just wait a few minutes until the moisture dries up, then it becomes easier to slide it off the bulb. Sorry for the delay in responding.

Turn off the unit (unplug). On the outside of the unit there is a center round plastic piece that holds the bulb. Turn it counterclockwise until it releases and then pull it out. The bulb just pushes in and pulls out of the socket. Wrap the bulb with a clean heavy rag in case the glass would break. Plug in the new bulb - again use a rag as you don't want to get finger oils/any dirt on the bulb. Put the bulb and socket back in, turn clockwise till it stops and plug in.

Take out the glass by removing the metal spring, then the bulb should come out easily as it just held by electric wires. In case it gets stuck, just grab the glass part of the bulp with your fingers and twist it

It's not set up like a flashlight where you can just unscrew the top to get to the bulb. The circuitry runs through the same area so I feel like it's something that you might need a professional to take apart. There's nothing about replacing the bulb anywhere in the instructions

Replacing the bulb is a snap, just unscrew a little knob in front and the glass comes right off. I have a 20 watt cfl in there and it's been fine for the last 4 months without being shut off once. You could probably go brighter, but I like the softer light since it's right next to my door.

If it is as the one pictured, underneath is a hex head screw. Simply loosen it and pull fixture out from the wall. Hope this is of some help.Paul

..... I changed ours over to hang from the ceiling - using the chain and cord from the old lamp - as this is delivered to you, it is meant to be "fixed" to the ceiling - not hung and hard-wired into electrical.

It sounds like you don't have the little suction tool that comes with the light fixture (at least the one I bought did). It is very hard without this tool. I would suggest if you can't get it out as the other responders suggest then find a small suction cup that will fit and stick on the face of the bulb then twist CCW and it should come right out. Good luck!

You replace the bulb by first unplugging the lamp to make sure there is no power to the power unit. Then turn the bulb holder handle counter clockwise a small amount until the bulb holder unlocks from the power unit and the bulb holder can be pulled from the power unit. Then, using caution as to not break the old bulb, (I used leather gloves and a clean cloth - to protect the hands and not leave oils on the bulb) pull the old bulb straight out from the holder. Note that the ceramic end of the lamp has grooves on one side that will allow the new bulb to only fit in the holder only one way. Place the new bulb in the holder with the grooves in correct position and push in on the bulb until seated. Again, handle with care and do not use excessive pressure. Carefully slide the new bulb and holder assembly back into the power unit and twist clockwise until it locks in place. Plug the unit back in and you

You can use the adapter with a suction cup that sticks to a smooth surface if the bulb surface is smooth. There are light bulbs with rugged surface, you can use the adapter with metal springs. One of the photographs perhaps will be showing this adapter (a big one and a small one come with the tool set). The springs are tied together to form circles going around fingers. You push this adapter over a recessed light bulb. With appropriate pushing and pulling, the springs coil them around the bulb tightly. Then you can rotate the adapter to screw in or screw out. Again, as mentioned in my review, there is an issue of the adapter loosens from the wand, but if you can make it that issue resolved, you are able to replace the bulb the way I described. Hope this helps.

You need to unscrew the portion of the top where it is tapered. Unscrewing the very top just exposes the bulb.

Hi. I just went in and removed the bulb to make sure. First unscrew the cover over the bulb. Next you have to have strong fingers but push the bulb and turn it until you feel it loosen up. It does not completely unscrew out of the socket. When you feel it's loose turn the unit upside down and the bulb should fall out. Once this happens you will see how the bulb is held in the socket. Hope this helps.

No, the suction cup is very small and the suction cup unit comes off of the pole. I was left with the cup stuck to the bulb in the canister 12 ft. above my head.

try pulling it back out and check the bulb. remember do no touch the glass. reinstall and secure the screws.

The suction cup that the pole comes with is not good and I've broken several bulbs that fell off the suction cup. I've had to purchase a separate suction cup.

Did you try the dimmer switch? It should be in the off position. The bulb should not be hard to remove. Grasp the bulb close to the base and turn counter clockwise. If that doesn't fix the problem exchange it. You will get years of enjoyment from this bowl. Since you haven't seen it lit, you have missed how lovely it truly is and how wonderful it works. I have three different ones. They are always on. Also give as gifts.

First off, replace the bulb when it has cooled down substantially! Place your thumbs on the ridges of the two white end caps and turn like a wheel away from you. Eventually one or both of the lamp bulb end pins will pop out of its holder - be careful to catch the bulb in your hands! Replace the same way - place the bulb end pins in the two holder slots and keep turning till they snap back into place.
