We just received the lamp and put it together.The bulb holder has a ring of cardboard inside the frame. Is this supposed to be removed?

I believe you take the cardboard out, at least that is what I did and the lamp has worked fine.

Couple of screws on the back panel, right hand side, near the bottom. The panel that gets removed is about 8"x4" and if I remember correctly, it has writing on it. There are a couple of screws to remove the housing from the TV. Remove it and replace the lamp. Warning, though, to not touch the bulb or the oil from your fingerprints will ruin the bulb. If the price isn't a huge difference, replace the entire housing instead of just the lamp. It's alot easier and you run less risk of ruining the lamp. You can always look on YouTube, also to see the lamp replaced, step by step. Good luck. :)

It's not set up like a flashlight where you can just unscrew the top to get to the bulb. The circuitry runs through the same area so I feel like it's something that you might need a professional to take apart. There's nothing about replacing the bulb anywhere in the instructions

The bulb is held in a bracket that is accessed from the back. Simply turn the bracket 1/4 turn and pull it out the back. the bulb will be in the bracket.

On the bottom, front of the TV there is a panel that snaps off. Underneath, in the middle, you should see where the lamp module fits. Then you need the special torx screwdriver that should have come with the bulb. Once you remove the screws, you can slide the bad module out and insert the new bulb, and re-insert screws. You may notice a slight "heat" odor initially, but that should go away quickly. Good luck.

I haven't had to change one yet, but I believe the whole lower assembly (silver ring and glass) twists into place on a mounting bracket. I assume you twist it slightly one way or the other and it will drop from the bracket and reveal the bulb. Hang on to it, seems I remember it being heavier than you might expect.

I replaced my lamp two weeks ago..had a real rough time. there is a tiny screw at the top of the very front vent. take that one screw out, then find a way to slide the top plastic facing toward you...it should pop out, not easily if your projector is a bit dirty. I had a very hard time getting it off. I did not believe it was right so I took every single screw out and tried taking the projector apart from the bottom. I finally got the top plastic cover to slide up and off...then it is quite self explanatory. Luckily ,i did not damage the internal parts of my projector when I took the bottom screws out.

u unscrew the small screw then u twist the light deflector and will pull off, then pull old bulb out, when u put new bulb in u should use small cotton towel to hold bulb , the oil on your fingers are not good for the bulb.

Hi, I actually replaced existing bulbs with one size smaller, so that the lights don't protrude and shine in your eyes, rather than down light on the "globe" . A bit fiddly, but doable. It took 2-3 of us a couple of hours to assemble, including the electrician - but well worth the effort. It's a magical lamp, we love it.

take off the plastic ring that prevents the metal from touching the side- you need to unscrew the two parts of the light to remove the plastic ring. hope that helps

Seems like that happened to me, but either I did not have the lamp on a good surface, or there was cardboard under the lamp. Check the base of the lamp.

If it's on the housing, it should be fine. I didn't take anything off. If it's actually on the clear surface over the bulb, I'd remove it.

I had an electrician put it up for me. The light bulb goes in before the cover is attached. One is a very small utility nightlight bulb. I think the cover just twists on and off, haven't had to do it myself yet!

There's a screw on each side, left and right, undo those and remove the cover. Then, it's just one of those high-intensity, halogen bulbs inside. It's not horribly hard nor super easy, but with the halogen bulb it doesn't need to be done very often. HTH.

Yes, remove the top with the bulb, it's underneath, soft light, not bright. Mine still working after a year.

yes, it is removeable. it's on a typical lap ring that sits on the bulb post like most typical lamps. which makes it easy for cleaning.

I hang all my brooder lamps and I have 3 or 4 of these same types. If I remember correctly the clamp comes removed and you have to assemble it. There is a bent piece of metal for hanging the lamp, this is where I attach my string, rope, or chain to hang the lamp.
