Is the light bulb on this 3 pod unit proprietary or can I replace with generic bulbs? Can I use an LED bulb instead? If so, any recommendations?

The bulbs do not have a standard light bulb base, but use a special 2-pin bulb. You should be able to find replacements at a home improvement store. Don't think there are LED versions of the bulb available.

I'm nearly sure it proprietary. It's an odd shape and has a unique plug. In fact, if you want to use the light in any typical socket, you need to buy an adapter. It probably also shines light at wavelengths that can "feed" a plant so that it can photosynthesize; I don't think every type of bulb shines that kind of light....

I did the same thing - this is the bulb i used: High Power 6W LED GU10 base Flood 60° Soft White Lamp (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QH3NEC/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&ps;c=1). GU10 is the type of bulb. You might try a different manufacturer since of the 14 I installed I had to replace 4 in less than a year.

The fatboy has a 1W led light. With three light brighnesses. There are screws on the base, so I presume the bulb can be changed if required.. But being LED it will have a very long life span..

I think it's a standard base. I initially put cfl bulbs in the unit then switched to LED. Hope this helps.

Yes.It's an LED bulb.It is built into the unit. They can't be replaced seperately.

My bulbs just went out and I found out that you CANNOT replace them. This is unfortunate because the unit is still useable and I like it. I will have to dispose of it and purchase a new one. Definitely not good service from a product.

Typically, its all about the bulb connection type, i.e. the base of the bulb connection. Although I haven't installed the kits I purchased on Amazon, I have installed numerous 3" GU10 housings and replaced the halogen bulbs with an LED bulbs with no trouble. You will find that the most important variable is the quality of LED bulb and its features. The quality of the LED bulbs vary greatly, and you don't always get what you pay for either. Also the light output can vary, both in the color of the light and the brightness of the light. Lastly is the LED light pattern can vary between flood vs. spot type bulbs AND how each light fixture mounts the bulb within the housing. These 3" fixtures mount the bulb at the very front of the fixture/ very near the ceiling surface; this is good for full light output but for some people this can create a glare from seeing the bulb directly vs. when the bulb is recessed deeper into the can fixture. Bottom line regarding fixtures, as long the bulb-connection is the same, you generally wont have an issue with it working. My final word of advice when it comes to bulbs though, order a few different bulb types from different sellers, try them out side by side and you'll find what you like. Long answer - but hope it helps...

I have SAME question and would be curious to know what kind of bulbs would be needed (as I don't want to buy lamp and then have to go through a complex process of locating bulbs)?

You can buy individual modules (the puck plus the wire), if you look around. As for the individual bulbs within the pucks, no. Not that I know of. Definitely not covered in the instructions either.I've had mine installed and burning constantly for months and nothing is burning out. But, there are other problems with the unit that I detailed in my review. Still, I think they're worth it.

Yes you can replace light bulbs. Mine blew out first week because they were wired wrong from aftermarket plug and play. So make sure your's are good. Replacement bulbs are 10 bucks. They are the h1's.

I haven't. But You can use any bulb that you prefer as long as it fits with the base, the fixture's dimension and the maximum wattage allowed. What I use for this one is actually a globe bulb. I love it because the lighting is very pleasing in the eyes. Bright yet cozy. Plus, it's really durable and high quality. Hope it helps!

I use standard light bulbs in the one I ordered. The same bulbs you would put in a lamp in your home. They fit fine.

I have no idea how to replace the bulbs. Perhaps you should ask the manufacturer. The longevity of LED's are so long that by the time they burn out, I imagine I will worry about them then and either throw out the lamp if it is unusable or just keep it. The cost is relatively low, so I would certainly consider buying another one of these great lamps. I just LOVE the lamp. Arnie

"There are no replacement bulbs. The light is LED and it's a sealed unit. We've only used them for one party, but the LED should last a while."

If you remove the filters and look inside, you can push those lights out; they're a standard size reflector bulb. I replaced mine with an LED equivalent. If you take the bulb to Home Depot, they can probably replace it; it's a 12v reflector unit. Get out a magnifying glass and you can read the type on it, and order them online. I don't have one handy or I'd look it up for you, sorry.

I bought a track light kit from a big box store. The led lights were removeable. We were able to put them on an existing track that previously had powered halogen bulbs.
