My chandelier is completely out of reach, so I assume the bulbs will coated in dust. Will that affect the suction?

I'm not sure, but the bulb I had to change had been in place for several years in my stairway, so I'd imagine there was some dust. The piece that connects to the bulb does rotate, so it might be able to grip a bulb better by turning it a bit. I love mine and it solved the problem I had.

Hi Patty, My chandelier is completely out of reach too and also has lots of dust. This worked amazing. Make sure if you buy one to let it screw all the way on so you don't drop the bulb ( something I did !). I was amazed at how well this worked. I bought the giraffe and the chandelier bulb attachment. Wish I'd known about this years ago!

I have not had a problem with the candelabra bulbs in my ceiling fan. I get lots of light from the ceiling fan in my living room. The only problem I have encountered is "flickering light' due to movement of the ceiling fan. Since my ceiling fan light bulbs point out at an angle, I have more than adequate light. Sorry I couldn't help you out more.

I have very little dust in mine. Any dust that can get in will fall out naturally over the course of time.

I used this in a frosted fixture base up, but not a ceiling fan. The fixture caused other bulbs to overheat and burn out, but this bulb did great and didn't burn out. I'm not sure if the vibration of the fan would have an effect, but given my success with it elsewhere, I'd suggest giving it a try.

By the time they burn out (they are solid state - no delicate filament in a vacuum) the bulb, and you, will be ready to be thrown out!! You an always buy another one at that time if you still need it. If faulty, return for a refund.

Try and wet the suction cup a little to get it to stick to the light bulb. That is how I did it.

Yep. It's the only thing you'll need, not even tools are required. I went ahead and vacuumed out some dust, but that's not a requirement. I held on to my old lamp just in case, but so far, so good.

Most likely yes. Unless there is literally no room between the bulb and the fixture. The fingers are not very thick. Most of the thickness is the yellow part that provides the friction.

I have not had this problem is the bulb touching anything . There must be room around the bulb it should be centered in the air handler with room around the bulb so it does not touch hope this helps . they have different size units for what ever size air handler you have

I am very doubtful. I installed this light into my office, and the clearance between the ceiling and the first orb light is maybe two inches. Installing it into a recess will probably not work out. Hard to say without seeing/knowing the exact area.

The dust cover is not removable, but not much of a problem during use - only if you're right on top of the magnifier could it get in the way. btw - i really love this lamp!

I never found out. The lamp might be OK, but the fixture it sits in could replace Hoover vacuums for shear sucking power.The ballast cannot be replaced in the light without tearing it apart.

I don't think so. The device is designed to create a suction between the bulb and the attachment. Not sure how you would create this suction on a cfl bulb.

I doubt this will work on textured bulbs, as it relies on suction to remove/replace the bulb. They texture won't allow a good seal.

I don't think that the lamps are hermetically sealed since they do not need to be in a vacuum as an incandescent lamp is, so I would check with the manufacturer.

No. The light fits flush to the dust cover. Buy a light made to fit a rail, that's what the rail is for.

If it's on the housing, it should be fine. I didn't take anything off. If it's actually on the clear surface over the bulb, I'd remove it.
