Any helpful hints or tricks on getting the bulbs out of the package? I spent about 20 minutes, and a cut on the hand, just trying to get one bulb out.

There is a cardboard Tear Here spot. If you tear the cardboard open there, the plastic clamshell just opens right up and you can lift the bulb out. At least that's how mine were packaged.

I no longer have the packaging to refer to, but I think there may be an "open here" along the left side.

we had the same problem - just a hair too long for where it needed to go. wound up cleaning the old one well, and discovered it still worked! still is! the #s on both bulbs were the same. I don't get it.

They are stuck together. I didn't have a very good experience with it. The light socket is hard to screw the bulbs into and one side of the lamp stopped working 5 minutes after I plugged it in. I am returning this item.

try pulling it back out and check the bulb. remember do no touch the glass. reinstall and secure the screws.

Janet,I have no idea where to buy replacement blubs. The lantern contained no instructions. I'm still can't figure out how to open the lantern. Good luck.

Might be from dust that is getting burnt from the heat of the new bulb. Try some compressed air to blow the dust out.

I remember I had a hard time putting the lights in. Thought I was going to break them.I would try inserting them again. If that does not work, return it.Hope this helps!

Juan I had same problem. Thankfully amazon has excellent return policy. I went to the local garden center and they carried replacement bulbs.

When I removed my old burned out bulb the glass pulled out. When I replace it again (I own 2 of these type desklights) I am going to try pulling the "Base" and not the bulb. BTW: One of the suggestions is to use soft cloth when handling the glass part to prevent the oil from your fingers from tainting the light emission. ALSO .... The base is "Crimped" together and it "Will" pull apart. That also happened to me.

Take out the glass by removing the metal spring, then the bulb should come out easily as it just held by electric wires. In case it gets stuck, just grab the glass part of the bulp with your fingers and twist it

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

I was told by the manufacture that the bulbs can be purchased at Home Depot or Walmart. The unit I bought/received never worked for longer than 10 minutes. After removing it from the wall and opening the back for the fourth time in a week...I returned it. I hope your unit works better than mine did!

There are two clips on either side (you should see on the cover, where it indents). I needed to use a flathead screwdriver to get pry it off. Just put the screwdriver in one of the indents and pry it in. It was fairly tricky.... Keep in mind it isn't a regular light bulb in there either, it's a GU24 (I think 24, its definitely a GU base, not a standard screw in)

My advice would be to contact the seller or the direct manufacturer. They may be able to replace the damaged bulb free of charge or at least inform you of the proper bulb to purchase and replace yourself. Most companies will provide missing instructions/manuals if you call and request them or find them online

I have had mine setup for maybe a month and had one of the bulbs go already - was easy to replace. The wires are in the way but just move them aside and screw in the bulb like normal.

Unfortunately they only sent me one bulb which does not work. I tried to fix this but no record exist that I can see on my acct. so I will need to call amazon

Have not had to do this yet but I believe your instruction manual should explain how. Bigger question is where can you get replacement bulbs. If you know or find out please let me know. Thanks
