Product shot, the cord is straight, does it straighten out over time. I bought it not yet straight.. with the bulb it isn't heavy enough ... Ideas? Thanks!

It straightened in time ...I also tacked it to the wall a bit. Help it go faster.

Make sure the plug in the back of the lamp is securely plugged into the base. It can become loose sometimes and I just push the little plug in so it is a better fit. Good luck with this problem.

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.

Sorry, I'm not able to help beyond the answers already submitted. Maybe I should send you mine as I am very disappointed with the low quality of this product. The stem, which comes in two sections which are supposed to thread together, were not even comparable and I had to shim the treads with foil. This is now breaking down and the lamp leans at that joint. It is also coming loose at the base. Very poor engineering, although the lamp itself is exactly what i needed for reading and not having to light up the entire room, disturbing TV watching and such. Good luck on your converter search!

I have not had an issue with the cord. There is a dimmer attached and I use it daily-at night to dim the lamp and in the morning to turn it up again. I have had the lamp for a couple of weeks now. I was concerned with that too, but I checked both lamps when I received and both are fine.

This lamp has a wire lead with electric plug. I used 2 hooks- one closer to wall near plug other right above where I want it to hang. It never hung straight which bothered me. I left it when I moved. I don't recommend buying this unless you really need a plug. I had a wood beam, so I had no choice but to get something like this.

Mine Was Round When It Arrived And Still Is. I Had No Problem With It. It Is An inExpensive Lamp; I Didn't Expect It To Look Like A One Hundred Dollar Lamp. For The Price And My Need, The Lamp Is GREAT.

I love the dryer, too. I've had the opposite....and I noticed that when the cord is out and I can't retract it completely, I figure it is twisted and must face the same direction going back in. So, by that logic, maybe if you twist it a bit at the place closest to the base while it is out and holding it twisted like that, begin to retract it and see if it catches. Or use a clamp close to the base. Otherwise I imagine you could use an extension cord...or last ditch effort would be take it to a hardware or lighting store where they know about electrical things?

The light switch is on the cord, and that is where the problem developed with the lamp I ordered. It started shorting out. I loved the lamp shade, so I ended up buying another lamp and just using the shade on it. I had had the lamp less than a year when it started shorting out, but too long to return it.

Is this the 1st time you have used the lamp? I ended up purchasing replacement bulbs only to find out the problem was a wire had come loose in the lamp itself.

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 have four of those. Same thing happened to one of mine. I recommend a lamp dimmer. Saves energy, and the look is warmer and better in my opinion. I think mine blew cause I had all four of them on one extension cord. But after installing the dimmer I haven't had any more problems.

It comes with the bulb but not a plugged cord. This fixture is meant to be hard wired but you could attach a cord.

It is a little difficult to screw the bottom part on.. the easiest for me was to anchor down the bottom with my feet and while standing screw the bottom on. At first when I plugged it in it didn't work right away until I discovered the bulb has to be in completely until it clicks. So check the bulb to see if it works. All else fails return it. It could be defective.

The cord will hang down. I purchased a wall cord cover in a brushed steel metal, for me it looks great. I purchased 2 lights and the square shade on one, and the metal square on the other were not perfectly alined; very close. The lights are good enough for me, even with the slight defects. If this might be a problem for you...think circles they are more forgiving.

My electrical cord looks fine. It has a dimmer built into the cord. No problems so far. We really only use the light a few times per month when Simone is staying in our spare room.

You can tighten the side knob with a coin but it gets loose so you have to keep trying to tighten it to stay in place. My friend has one and she does not seem to have the problem that I am having. I suppose it depends on the lamp you get.
