How do you get the base off the emerson lantern? We're twisting counter clockwise but it won't budge,

Twist the base counterclockwise. It might be off the thread marks from the last time it was closed so look to see if the base is even with the rest of the lantern. Or the lantern base is twisted too tight from the person that put it on.

Look at the base of the lantern closely and you'll see a little arrow, " open &lt;-----&gt; close "

t will open if you turn the same direction as the arrow. Sometimes not easily though. I've purchased 5 of these lanterns and put batteries in them before I gave them away as gifts. The trick is once you get the bottom off is to put it on straight and not too tight . It can be tough but it will come off. hope that helps !

On most ceiling fixtures where the light bulb screws into the electrical socket there will be 3 set screws used to hold the light bulb cover. Screws are loosened to remove the cover to replace the light bulb if it breaks or goes bad. The lantern has a metal ring around the top. Using needle and thread I would sew threads onto the metal ring in 3 locations matching the screws on the light bulb fixture. Loop the thread around the metal ring then, using the loose ends of the thread carefully wrap the thread around the screws on the fixture. Then tighten the screws and cut off the excess thread. I would use a low wattage bulb so as not to create too much heat. I have my lanterns hanging on regular black wrought iron outdoor plant hangers. I found an black electrical extension cord with light bulb fixture at the end then inserted light bulb into the lantern. Using electrical tape I taped the extension cord to the wire in the lantern to secure it from movement. The extension cord also has an on/off switch. I hope this works for you.

You have to align a tab up inside. Look for something red on the lantern, line that up with the base. Do it careful and slow, or you will be spending quite some time getting it on. It is well worth it for the power and how long the batteries last. I pull out the batteries when not in use due to it having a electric switch so it is always on. Just have to use a flash light to put batteries in. I only use it for power outages.

It's opposite rotation to normal. Push in the black button on the side to lock it up and loosen clockwise

Be sure to unplug lamp and let bulb cool down. I use one of those garden gloves with little plastic dots to get a better grip on bulb:-) The directions read like this. "Grasp the tube firmly, angle it very slightly down, then pull it from socket." Mostly it is a matter of a firm grip.

Unscrew it! Sometimes they do become difficult to twist because of the proximity to heat and grease buildup. Clean the glass bulb as well as you can and grab something like a rubber grip jar lid remover and push slightly against the bulb and twist.

Mine comes off now and then,what i do is hold the base steady try to guide the cord to the middle of the pulley and pull hard. Works for me hope it works for you. Good luck.

Pull down the cover and remove a mounting spring. Then unscrew the screw holding on the light cover. The bulbs are then accessible. The bulbs unscrew with a half-twist. Make sure you get the right kind of bulb. Its base is different from most.

The battery compartment has a white plastic battery holder. Place one battery into each of the three slots with the negative post on the spring. They alternate as you turn it around. Once they are each in a slot stick the post end into the flashlight and screw on the base. If you don't get light you probably have it in upside down. Unscrew the base and turn it over and try again. It would easy to explain with a picture but, this doesn't give me the option.

I have the exact same issue. I've tried everything I can think of but it doesn't seem to be removable. I just tie the cord together with a twist tie and use it with the cord dangling out the bottom.

The top [where the light is] unscrews by holding the base with the fingers of one hand and the light end with the fingers of the other hand and turning it clockwise. It comes off easily and the battery pops in and out as well.

Separating it from what? The base? It should just lift right off. It can be pretty heavy if it's full of water. Otherwise, maybe it's suctioned on to the base, so if you hold the base down and pull the 'blue bulb thing' up it should come off. Mine doesn't screw together so I'm not sure what they other user is referring to.

Slide bottom tray out. Then grasp the bulb close the the bottom . pull firmly Straight out.

SOLUTION - Yes, I had the exact same problem The solution is simple. Wrap a small rubber band around the bottom of the arm where it fits into the base. When you screw on the black threaded arm holder, the seal is nice and tight... so absolutely no wobble, but it still allows the lamp to rotate smoothly.

Just take one of the batteries out and turn it around. It cannot light this way. Been doing it for years, ok, decades.

open the round cap on the bottom....it's hard so use a screw driver or something else.....fill with water or sand (i used water,cheaper and equally efffective)...put cap back on.....also its heavy so have the base close to wherever it's going to be...good luck

It will definitely rotate, but probably stuck. You can try to spray some WD-40 on the contacts to try to free it. Either way, the bulb will rotate toward/away from you and slip out through the notches on the ballast.
