Has anyone discovered for what and how the little blue cylinder with bulb tip is supposed to be used?

Well, I've seen pictures of the devices, and it looks similar. I think there the bulb is used to draw a vacuum, whereas in a blood pressure cuff it applies positive pressure, so maybe the valve direction would be reversed? If that's the case, I'm not sure the rubber in this bulb is strong enough when it snaps back to shape in order to create a sufficient effect. By the way, a google search came up with some interesting info - Walgreens has a pretty extensive line of such products for a neighborhood drugstore, and Wikipedia notes the devices have no evidence backing up that they produce any permanent "improvement", and can be dangerous to use. Looks like it might be cheaper to just buy another at the drug store.

When the light has been out long enough to NOT be hot, just pull the bulb cluster by grabbing the ceramic base and wiggle-pull. there are pins holding it in that are about 1/2 inch long.

Not me, clearly a bent nail stuck in there. Im on my second one for misfire issues. I think while handy, this design is not ready for prime time !

It was when I got one. I bought one on Amazon when I bought the lamp. Problem is, I'll never use it. The thumb-screw that holds the cross-section of the lamp keeps failing. The lamp almost caused a concussion. I'm not using it and will never have use for the extra bulb. Though, if you already own the lamp and like it, and you need an extra bulb, it was very easy to buy on Amazon. If you do not yet own the lamp, don't buy it unless you want a concussion.

I believe its for riveting the assembly together at the factory. You do not use the hole just screw the adapter on the light bulb and then screw the the unit into the socket.

It's tricky but I did replace a spiral shaped bulb. There is a YouTube video using sticky tape to adapt the use on smaller bulb, but I didn't have to use it.

I haven't had to change one yet, but I believe the whole lower assembly (silver ring and glass) twists into place on a mounting bracket. I assume you twist it slightly one way or the other and it will drop from the bracket and reveal the bulb. Hang on to it, seems I remember it being heavier than you might expect.

actually its called a candelabra base, the smallest standard bulb. the only base smaller is the appliance base like for the refrig. shouldnt be hardto find this bulb, I get a 3-4 pak for a few dollars, like GE 25w, just make sure its the small base =]

Susan, I'm not quite sure. I can tell you that they use the small base for a candelabra bulb. They also produce good light. I hope this helps you.

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

I agree with SFNavyBear. Mine has 2 red arrow stickers. One on the lamp and one on the round cover (bottom). Line up the 2 arrows, set the bottom in place and twist to close.

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

I always used a 0000 brush, but the bulb should give you a blast of air strong enough. It's worth a try.

It's a special bulb but you can use a standard square base bulb from a hardware store. It's not a perfect fit right it off the box though. I had to file off two small plastic ears on the bulb base with a metal file to get it to fit properly in the socket.

Good question, a visual of the (encased) bulb did not reveal the information needed. Also, no manufacturer ID on item. Best bet to contact supplier. Sorry!
