I like this lamp; thinking of getting another, but do you change bulbs? Where to get/what kind of bulbs? Throw it out when the bulbs die?

LEDs last a long time and the possibility of a defect should show up before the warranty expires. It'll probably last 30 years and at that time there will most likely be an even better LED or other technology to replace it with.

I would assume it is done when they burn out but according to the manufactures website it seems to have a 12 month warranty (I did not ask them directly if this applies to amazon purchases but I would guess since it is sold by "saicoo direct"). http://saicoo-tech.com/info/warranty.html. I have had it for 4 months and never had an issue. Since it is an LED lamp it should last for quite awhile.

I believe you throw it out when bulbs burn out BUT they last a very long time.

There are no bulbs to change out. The LEDs should last a very long time though.

Honestly I don't know how to replace bulbs and I just checked it, yeah, I can't take the bulb off. It's built inside. I have two of these lamps, and I've been using them for 2 years. They are still strong.

Mine died recently too, but since I was trained in electronics/electricity in the Marines, I thought I'd just fix it. Nope, the lamp is built so that when it dies, you just need to toss it. After 8 or 10 years, I just ordered a new one from Amazon. Bell and Howell is a very good name in the industry, but I guess, as in all things, you just have to know when to say when. Save yourself a headache, and buy a new one.

I have not had to replace one yet but I think it should tell you where you order the lamp. Or check for the bulb on Amazon ott lamp bulbs. Our two lamps are still working fine. Carol

I never had that issue, but I can assure you that your lamp is going bad. You can replace the lamp yourself & usually cost under $100. You may be able to find it on http://amazon.com. Hope this reply helps. Good luck.

Hi there. If you're handy with tools, you MIGHT be able to replace it, assuming you could find the same 5-watt LED part. But it's not designed to be replaced. However, not to worry! Unless there are manufacturing defects, you should get many, many thousands (25,000 - 30,000) of hours of use from this bulb - LEDs for all practical purposes last "forever" and don't need changing due to burning out like regular incandescent and flourescent bulbs. By the time this would wear out, in 15-20 years for most people, LED lamps will be dirt cheap and universal so replacement of the whole fixture would be the way to go. In short - don't worry about it! It may, however, have manufacturing defects - but that's what warranties are for.

mine did not come with a replacement bulb. It does not work/function very well either, very temperamental. If you don't hold it just right, the light flickers on and off. We don't use it very often because of this. Good luck

It's a special bulb, which can be replaced. I'm am still using the same bulb that came with the lamp. About 4 years now, I believe.

Hi there. I got mine lamp last March and the bulb that came with it just burned out about 2 weeks ago. So a solid year for me and I've used it at least 8 hours a day, Monday-Friday in my home office, where I work full-time. Easy to change the bulb, too. The cover snaps right off and you just pop it out and plug in a replacement.

I love this mirror. I think the light is super. I have actually bought one as a gift after using mine. Good question about changing the bulb. I am not sure and currently not at the house where I keep this mirror. Manufacturer should know.

Bought this lamp about 2 years ago. Great lamp. Fit my needs very well. Nicely constructed, and nice finish. All good then Bulb blew ( estimate about after 400 hours). I read other reviews and came to same conculsion as many others . Bulb is almost impossible to find. Here as follow is what i did: 1) Search Amazon and web for the NFS 27W #U Daylight bulb. Could not find. Found one like this but only 11W for $45.00. Forgetaboutit. 2) Found a 40 watt equivilent CFL in cellar. Fits! But not much light. Noticed Ballast on this bulb just a little less than the lamp "cylinder" in which it fits. 3) Tried 25W standard CFL (100W eq.). Ballest too big, won't fit. need some kind adapter to make fit. 4) went to big Orange Store. Bought old fashioned bulb/ extension cord adapter (~$2.50). the kind that screws into standard socket, then has 2 extension cord outlets on sides, then ends in standard bulb sprocket. 5) Screwed in adapter, just fits. Now bulb Socket outside "cylinder". Screwed in 25W daylight CFL, Fits. Good Light. Althought the 25W CFL is shorter than orginal and 2 less watts I can't notice any difference in light output. All Good again

Sorry I can't help. I threw mine out after it failed to work in the lamp we bought it for. In fairness, I think the lamp was the problem, not the bulb.

Did you ever find out where to purchase the light bulb. I have not had mind long and the bulb has gone out in it. Have used it a total of 3 times at the most.

I bought the lamp and my liked it. WE sometimes kept it on over night as a nightlight, and we have used the scented oil and it worked well with the lower setting. the high setting heats up the oil too quick. WE have not needed to replace the bulb, but it's a regular halogen bulb, I don't see a problem finding one to replace it.

I did! It worked fine. I would purchase new bulbs though...the ones it come with arent the best quality. It truly is a lovey piece!

My lamp is older, and I had to screw it in. It looks great. Here's a pic: http://i.imgur.com/Ia5wmYX.jpg

My guess is, it'll be years before the LED's no longer light. Through careful measuring and shopping, you might find an under-counter lighting strip that would fit the tube, and do a little surgery. You'll probably see another lamp more like you hoped this one would be if you shop around, saving you the DIY.
