Is there a light bulb that will make this brighter? It barely shows up at all.

I put a higher watt bulb in it than the "broken" one that it came with. I didn't go too big, but a step up from the original. Still not real bright, but does better, the higher you can place it, as mine gives off more colored light from the sides than it does the top.

The bulb it ships with is super dim, and I believe it's 75 watts. I've put a 100w in, but it's still not enough light to brighten a room. The light can be used for ambience only unless you're installing it in a very small room. My room is 12 by 20' for your reference.

You may need to tighten the bulb. Make sure the wattage doesn't exceed the watts recommended by the manufacturer. You might try replacing the bulb. I hope this helps. If not then contact seller.

Find one with a higher wattage equivalent, they work but not as bright as i would like.I also need to keep one of the original bulbs in the circut. (7) LED & (1) regular filament bulb.If I didn't bulbs would constantly flash. Has to do with Malibu transformer voltage regulator.

Don't know how Todd got one that is bright. Like Thomas, my lamp is so dim I can't even read by it. Using it over the fountain might be a good option--for a subtle, muted illumination of the water.

Hi Mia, if that's your only light it might not be enough. I have mine over dining room table but I have other light from outside and in. I do love this bulb though and happy I bought it.

Hmm...I don't think it gets THAT bright. It does get pretty bright. I would say more like a 60w bulb.

It is not going to get any brighter and a larger watt bulb will generate too much heat. The lens is opaque and limits the brightness of the light. Replace the dark plastic lens with a cut piece from Home Depot that allows more light to pass through.

It just depends on what you have in the room. Frustrating, I know. But you can't really "see" black light, only the things it illuminates. I would say, just go for it, or buy a nearly identical one at Walmart for $10. If it's too dark, tack a white sheet on one of the walls, and then you'll have plenty of light. You could also buy a regular black light bulb super cheap right now at almost any local store. (all on clearance post-halloween) .... Though it now occurs to me this was probably a Halloween party you were throwing... So I'll just stop talking now.

Sorry I can't help. I threw mine out after it failed to work in the lamp we bought it for. In fairness, I think the lamp was the problem, not the bulb.

Buy a better bulb... For an item with soo many options- they are amazingly limited. Sorry

Hello, If your bulb is currently very dim, chances are that your light will most likely be going out soon. Any new lamp will make your image brighter. Some generic replacements will make it even brighter but will you wont see that long of a life span on it. OEM bulbs run a little lower for brightness. You can barely tell a difference but you will know its going to be an OEM lamp which is made for your tv.

Ours just came with a regular 7 watt bulb, similar to a night light, not an LED light bulb. We had to replace it once already, but my daughter leaves the light on a lot, but it never changed colors. Maybe try another bulb.

I don't know, but I will say that I was disappointed at the lack of brightness. I installed it on my industrial sewing machine table, but I found that the old 60 - 100 watt "traditional" lightbulbs were much brighter.

It provides a dim spot of light more like a 10 watt bulb. You are NOTwrong! There is a 18 watt CFL bug light that provides a more useful amount of light

No, it is not bright enough. My mother has the same problem and we haven't been able to find anything that helps at this point. We purchased this lamp and she still says there is not enough light.

I cannot really see the light bulb..if you use all the shells then it should be well hidden.
