My generator came with a busted lamp and motor that is off the mount. Can it still work if readjust the motor and replace the bulb?

John I am surprised that your unit was damaged, it is well made and well packed, it will most probably still work, however Amazon should make good on a replacement.

Mine stopped working after VERY LITTLE use, an electrician friend told me it was not my bulb, it was the electrical of the lamp itself. This product obviously has serious design or structure issues. DO NOT BUY IT!!!

Sorry. I did not have that issue as everything worked fine. But you should be able to replace the bulb.

Yes it will fix the problem but will not identify which lamp it is. And guess what? The same lamp or another will fail soon again. It works by sending a pezio-electric pulse through the light sting forcing the culprit bulb to make connection and allow the string to work. It is worth the price and I would recommend trying it.

It appears many of these are defective. My bulb works but the rotation motor doesn't. Amazon should stop offering this item

yes. For what it's worth, my replacement light has developed a crack similar to the one the OEM light had. Will be checking the bed for distortion where the light fastens in.

I would contact Makita's Customer Service Dept for warranty coverage if it is still within it's warranty that is. If not, I would try ordering and replacing the lamp bulb as it may have received a jarring and damaged the bulb slightly. I hope it works out well for you as I have had great success with mine until my son tried to cut a thick piece of plastic on it and the blade grabbed it and decided to toss it across the room just missing my son as it sailed by. Kids!!

Sorry I can't help you. I returned the motor and ordered an entire new light/fan fixture!

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.

I read before I bought it, The generator inside shorts out and the lights stop working. I have had mine about a year and half and mine are working good

It wouldn't be advised to try. The plastic around bulb could crack, they are pretty cheap in that aspect. Replacing the light itself is probably a better option.

Every so often you will have to replace the ballast unit on a Toshiba (I had to do it twice). It's a pretty straightforward repair that does not involve the light engine. It's a high voltage supply unit that powers the lamp. When it fails, it seem like the lamp fails and gives you the same front panel indications. On the second ballast failure I also had a small fuse fail that was on the opposite side of the TV near the wire entrance but deep inside where you can barely see it let alone pop it out. I did it, however, and you should be able to as well with a little help from youtube.

It is worth a try--I thought the same thing but it works---just check the wiring from the old lamp to make sure they are; four wires, black white red, yellow and that the size is compatable, good luck Tom P

Mine arrived broken, it wouldn't work due to very low quality connectors inside the rotor housing. I soldered the wire right to the unit and got everything up and running. No problems since. The unit gets its power from the inside control box - also be aware it loses calibration with regular use.

yes, take the bulb out and take it to home depot....they will match the socket with a new led bulb. Joe

My advice would be to contact the seller or the direct manufacturer. They may be able to replace the damaged bulb free of charge or at least inform you of the proper bulb to purchase and replace yourself. Most companies will provide missing instructions/manuals if you call and request them or find them online
