You will have to take the cover off to get to them.Most of them are in the back held in with screws.Usually have 3 elements and if one is bad the others will not last long ,so I replace them all. I have did this with 2 of the three I've got and the oldest one is 3 yrs.old.They both were not getting as hot as they should like yours seems to be doing.

The unit has 3 bulbs so you probably have one or two out. Time to buy new bulbs. They are very easy to change, but check prices on other sites to make sure you get the best deal. I bought from Amazon first and then found the bulbs cheaper at a authorized Eden pure dealer online.

Sounds like you may have gotten a bad bulb. Contact iPower customer service and they will send you another one. My bulb was also damaged in shipping and I called them and they sent me another one. If that is not the issue their customer service will fix it.

Hi I never got that far as to seeing if they are as bright or brighter then standard bulb, because while inspecting the fit and finish of the wiring connectors I noticed inconsistent quality. The heat shrinked connector joints were done one was done properly and the other was not even close. So I did not want to even risk it.

If you find out let me know, mine is junk too. Just plug it in and use it that way till bulbs burn out?

Yes, I experienced this. I purchased dimable LED bulbs that don't burn as hot and it fixed the problem. A little pricey, but worth it if you want to use the light.

probably was a bad bulb, same thing happened to me. I think these actually may be counterfeit and Amazon is unaware. I have learned that the copies are so good that only the OEM can tell. Sorry don't know how to get a refund.

It could be a bad bulb. Sometimes they get knocked around in shipping and the circuit opens. Have you checked other bulbs in the same lamp? Also make sure the lamp is plugged in (I know it's silly but you'd be surprised at how often that is the problem).If the bulb is actually damaged, which you can usually tell by jiggling it and listening for a rattle or by inserting it into another socket and testing, just return it to Amazon through http://www.amazon.com/returns

I would just take the burnt out one to Lowes' or the like and ask them, it should have info printed on the rim. They are halogen bulbs.

There is a small internal device that acts as a starter to make the bulbs light up. It sounds like that starter has gone bad. Contact Flowtron and send them the unit for repair.

We like the lighting system very much but the extreme heat of the bulbs has become problematic. I'm going to take the spare replacement bulb that came with the lighting unit to my local hardware store and have them look at the bulb and advise me. If you or anyone else can come up with a more definitive answer, please let me know also. Thanks.

Swap the bulb that appears to be bad with the one that's working and see if it works. you might have gotten a faulted bulb

the entire fixture will need to be replaced. LEDs will last longer than any other type of bulb and they do not get hot so they will last a long time...

I don't know if this applies to your situation; but when my bulbs arrived I noticed that the boxes not been sealed, so perhaps they were touched by somebody along the packaging process. I made sure to clean them off with alcohol before the installation to remove any oil from fingers. So far, both bulbs (four months on one, five on the other) are still working fine. The HID bulbs are susceptible to localized hot spots (and premature failure) if the glass is touched during the installation.

check your secondary fuse box if you plugged them in wrong originally it well blow the fuse (easy way to tell is plug old bulbs back in and see if you have break lights)

Hey there, ive purchased a cheap one and this one and I believe it may be another issue shortening the life of these bulbs... Maybe the fan ? Maybe excess dirt? Both of mine only lasted about 10 months (max) also.

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.

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