Did you try the dimmer switch? It should be in the off position. The bulb should not be hard to remove. Grasp the bulb close to the base and turn counter clockwise. If that doesn't fix the problem exchange it. You will get years of enjoyment from this bowl. Since you haven't seen it lit, you have missed how lovely it truly is and how wonderful it works. I have three different ones. They are always on. Also give as gifts.

Good luck! I thought my bulb was bad and finally found one at Bed Bath & Beyond. It cost about $20. I replaced it and the light still did not work! The store would not refund the bulb. I finally trashed the mirror and bought a Conair model.

Looks like you got your information below. For us, the product arrived with the light broken due to bad packaging. We returned the entire item and received our replacement. New bulb not needed as of yet.

I also had something happen when I turned the lamp on. Something popped and the lamp no longer works. I was unable to find any repair parts. My estimation is that it is a piece of junk. It never worked at all.

Just goggle and order the bulb off line . Take the back off where it says bulb. And replace . Just use a cloth to pull it out and put it in. It takes seconds

You have to make sure you screw the light bulb on right if not it will not work. I had the same issue.

Probably,First remove the bulb from the socket. Then get an old copper penny and...On second thought perhaps you should utilize Amazon's stellar customer service and exchange the defective item for another.

To remove the bulb: (It's best to not touch the bulb too much!...that being said...) twist the bulb either toward you or away from you. There is an opening at each end of the base, where you will see the metal housing (connectors) pieces where you carefully lift the bulb from each end. Be sure to wipe the bulb(s) with a clean, dry soft cloth OR using an eyeglass cleaning cloth would work too. To replace the bulb: gently put one prong into each opening on the base, twist either toward you or away from you to lock the bulb into place. I hope my explanation helped. : ) (Wipe the bulb with cloth to clean, dust and extend the life of your bulbs!)

Hi. I just went in and removed the bulb to make sure. First unscrew the cover over the bulb. Next you have to have strong fingers but push the bulb and turn it until you feel it loosen up. It does not completely unscrew out of the socket. When you feel it's loose turn the unit upside down and the bulb should fall out. Once this happens you will see how the bulb is held in the socket. Hope this helps.

All i did was screw it into a light fixture and it rotates on its own inside the bulb. If your's isn't rotating it may be broken. :o(

Grasp the base and pull it out. Push the new bulb into the socket ... Be sure to push on the base, not the glass.

With my two lamps, from Sharper image, I pushed the bulb into the socket and then it released itself and I pulled it, socket and all, slightly forward out of the lamp housing. Then with a flat screwdriver into the slot in the front of the socket, pried the socket front out and open. Bulb popped out.

send it back for a refund. You need both prongs in order for the bulb to work. :) Hope this helps.

Sorry. I did not have that issue as everything worked fine. But you should be able to replace the bulb.
