I haven't tried. I've only replaced the battery. It would probably cost more to get a special bulb than to buy a new one??

I just bought 10 new bulbs on amazon for about $14. The scope works great with the new bulb!

Yes the top screws off and exposes the bulb and then you can unscrew the bulb with ease. hope this helps. there is also a lifetime warranty on this item. Nana

I'm sure you can but I haven't need to . Also this item has a 2 year warranty so save the receipt or invoice. I'm sure that the company can sell you the replacement bulbs .

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!

Yes, although I already had mine replaced because I busted the original bulb. However, it's just easy to replace. I bought my new bulb here and I'm so pleased with its quality. Hope it helps Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

Yes the bulb can be changed. It takes a 15 watt appliance bulb. I buy mine in the hardware store. Make sure it is an appliance bulb. Bring the old one to make sure the part that screws in is the same size as there are different sizes

The bulb CAN be replaced. I leave my unit on all of the time as it also makes a great nightlight, but that also means I have to replace the bulb that much more often. It takes a 15 watt bulb that I've purchased at Hobby Lobby, Target, and WalMart. I initially tried the regular 4 watt nightlight bulb, but it didn't get warm enough to heat and melt the wax so make sure it's a 15 watt. Good Luck!!

I see Ott light products/lamps in various stores (frequently 'craft/art supply stores). Haven't needed new parts yet, but pretty sure you could get. If nothing else, could likely get directly from company.

Hi Britteny no you can not change the Bulbs. I did not knoe this when I purchased it.However I agree with Chuck, They should last longer than the cost, including the electrin.

U gotta manually take the old bulb out of the box and replace it with just the bulb alone. It's marked without the box for a cheaper price. If u want to buy it with the box u gotta seach for it and pay a little extra. It's way easy to replace tho.

You can put any bulb in it but it is very difficult to get the front lens back on after you take it apart.

It wouldn't be advised to try. The plastic around bulb could crack, they are pretty cheap in that aspect. Replacing the light itself is probably a better option.

Home depo or lowes perhaps if not you can find it online, just google the type of light bulb you need, use whatever information is on the old one

Thanks for your prompt reply - I actually already own this item! After years of use, the bulb has burned out and I'm tying to determine if it can be replaced. I'm disappointed with the short lifespan of the item, but I wasn't necessarily disappointed with the performance. With the proper room placement, focus of the lens, and assurance that there was no light polution, the item performed quite well. Until it died, of course!

Yes, the bulb is replaceable! There are only 4 small phillips screws that hold the lens on. The bulb is a 12 volt, 20 watt, which can be purchased at any Auto Parts Store. Remove the bulb and take it with you to the parts store, a good parts counter person will match up what you have.

I haven't had to rplace the bulb, but, I will probably go to Amazon where they can get you almost anything!Good luck.

Yes it can. You can either replace the whole unit or just the bulb. I replaced the entire unit (only because it seemed to be cheaper to buy the unit rather than just the bulb) at that moment. Prices change all the time. But if you buy the bulb do not touch it the natural oil in your skin will damage the lens once the power shines through it.
