I used a 300 watt bulb, the lamp would turn its self after 10 minutes! It would cool off for 10 min then I could turn it on again. Can anyone Help?

I think the lamp is rated for 190 watts. Therefore, please be aware of fire danger.

It sounds like either a bad connection, or there's a problem with the rheostat. I would unplug the unit, remove the bulb and try to reseat it. If that doesn't work, try a different bulb. If that doesn't work, try leaving the light on at half strength and see what happens.

I bought a 300wt either and use it since. No problem. As I remember, I did not turn it on full force right away: started with a little by little. I was afraid that it would blow as the whole thing was not designed for that high voltage. But nothing happened so far. I love the lamp. It is really very bright.

Yes. Buy TWO lamps. Turn one on. When it goes off to cool, turn on the second one. By the time the 2nd one gets too hot and turns off, the 1st one should be back on again. You may want to upgrade your home insurance too.

it might have welded its self in place if air got in it from the manufacture. Try rotating the bulb on its installed axis. I returned the one we bought because it came damaged and your right it was a very dull bulb. Good Luck

I Don't Remember What It Said On It.. But when I bought mine I Used 3 - 30 or 40 watt bulb's. it lasted for a few months. I couldn't see putting a 100 watt bulb in a touch lamp? just the heat that would come off would be a lot. hope this helps? Sorry

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.

I would return the lamp you got. I did not have this problem. Make sure u ordered the correct replacement.

buy a new unit. for the price of these new if you have a few of the LEDS go out you should just buy a new unit. they are not worth messing with. I have 3 lamps go out on mine after a few hours. they sent me a new one.

The original question has been adequately answered, but I have a further observation. It is a nice lamp, but the base is small, and the lamp is inclined to tip when being switched on and off. I glued the lamp to a round piece of stained and varnished plywood (5" or 6" diameter) with thin felt glued on the bottom. It works.

Sounds like you are having a heat related problem with the bulb itself. I'd say it's defective. I have no such performance with mine running on 12v marine batteries in my boat.

Sounds like yours is either faulty or doesn't have the right bulb installed. Mine is super sensitive and I barely have to brush it for it to change levels and turn on and off.

I bought mine a couple months ago and the light worked for a couple of hours then never again. It was an electrical issue, not a bulb issue. I wouldn't recommend it....

Maybe you need to turn the pipe around. As for the lamp not working, mine did not work either. So it was money in the drain. Complained about it, but never received a reply.

I have a 10/30 LED Silver Lamp. It looks just like the 10/20. The on/off switch is on the back of the neck of the lamp. Press once and it is 30. Press again it is off. Press again and it is 10. Once more and it's off. Yours should work the same way.

I have left the lamps on all day and they didn't turn off. You must turn them off. I suggest not using a low watt bulb, but use the 40 watt. The lowest setting on the lamps can be used as a night light.

Same thing happened to mine. Waste of money, lamp was useless, threw it away

My answer is similar to other responses. I simply press and hold down the power button for about two seconds and the lamp turns off. Then I let go of the button. So far it's worked every time. I've been very pleased with this lamp and its versatility.

Mine goes completely off. I can't imagine it is the bulb causing power to stay on, something else must be in play.

If you have set the timer, it will go off after the desired number of minutes. I do not have problems with the lamp going off when I did not set the timer.
