Removable Bulb? Plastic casing?

bulb is standard H4 removable/replacable, probably able to handle 100w bulb *, reflector is a hard (thermoset?) plastic, lens is glass*

Looks like a round screw on fitting that holds shade in place and then you put bulb into socket. If you need I might take a photo of inside of shade with bulb already in place.

HelloThe little plastic cover just snaps onto the lighting unit. You will be able to just pull it off. You might have to use a butter knife or screw driver (unplug everything first!) to get in between the plastic cover and the unit itself. But there isnt any screws or fasteners holding it. Just plastic grooves that hold it in place.. like legos or models that kids build. Hope this helps

after looking at mine a little closer it's as if its 5 little LED lights off together encased in plastic. I do not see a way to replace it no I have ever seen a product like that in the light bulb department. I will say that I've had mine since 2010 and I've never had a problem with it as long as the batteries are fresh. Hope that helps

Yes, it arrived with the plastic base. My local parts store had the bulb part only.

I'm not entirely sure it is replaceable. I looked at mine and it does not appear to have external access anywhere on it. I love mine but it is a low use item. If you are going to be utilizing it with any kind of high use I would think about something that DEFINITELY has replaceable bulbs. As I said, I do not believe this one can have the bulbs swapped out, but you may want to check with the manufacturer first before you ultimately take my word!

Hi Debra. I cracked my plastic globe cover and ordered this unit to replace. you have to buy the whole thing (cover and base) in order to get a cover -- they don't seem to be sold separately. I bought the nested neon replacement bulbs at the same time . ta! (Rick)

Yes ..the center part is the light, it sits on the casing and can be taken off or changes

It appears to be translucent plastic. It disperses the light very well. Please note that this is NOT a replacement bulb. Rather, it is a complete one-piece fixture that replaces a single T8 fluorescent bulb/fixture. I'm using it in an unheated workshop. I get great lighting, and no problems with the bulb making noise when the temperature drops.

A higher wattage bulb would void the warranty. The heat might melt the plastic. carlights4less

it's a little black knob under the shade, up near the bulb. It may have come out during shipping. Check the box for a black knob in that case, and just reattach it.

Plastic. The whole thing is plastic. BTW, I have since had the same problem with every one of my OttLite lamps (6): base eventually starts making a buzzing noise ( possibly something gets loose in the base).

the globe is screwed to the base. Just hold the ribbed nut located between the globe and the base and unscrew the globe. You will have access to the bulb.

Yes you can! Very simple to change. Finger remove 3 screw like tabs and glass removes to easy bulb change!

To your second question, you can hide the bulb by moving it to a side with the bulb fixrure

Hi Erin, thanks for the question. It's not as hard as it may seem. You just remove the casing and exchange the bulb. This fixture uses T-4 bulbs of a maximum of 100w. We hope this helps! If you have any other questions Erin, please reach out to one of our experts. They know everything, and they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now:) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

John..unfortunately I sent this item back. The switch to turn the light bulb on was plastic and very flimsy. From the picture I thought the grips were stainless steel-twist to-turn-on...similar to the portable ones we use in the ER) however, they were plastic grips and didn't have the weight that felt sturdy -if that makes sense. I can't say for sure about the bulb attatchment...
