What do you do when the bulb stops working?

Sorry, I'm not sure either. My husband uses it a lot and has even left it on overnight but the bulb is still good.

sorry for the slow response, i don't get to many questions on here. :) I popped open the lens which just screws off like a normal flashlight. but looking at the diode, it's not a normal LED, but looks like it's soldered into the unit. I'm not too technical but i do have a digital camera with macro capabilities and have a photo of the bulb here: http://s69.photobucket.com/user/Epic_elite/media/IMG_96701_zps63064ef2.jpg.html behind the chip that the bulb is mounted on, connecting it to the reflector is some heavy metal mounting bracket with the screw points where the wiring connects with the bulb. the back of the reflector pic here: http://s69.photobucket.com/user/Epic_elite/media/IMG_96761_zps0191c6c2.jpg.html basically I'm not really seeing any practical means of swapping out the bulb.

I have two that are used often and the bulb still works. Neither the Joby nor the Cree site show a bulb than tiny. There's also the chance that the replacement bulb could cost as much as a new flashlight. Good luck in your search.

The Cree LED has a usual lifetime of many thousands of hours of continuous use. The casing or circuitry is more likely to fail first.

If it's LED based, then you can't replace the bulb because there isn't one. If it doesn't light up, it's hard to say why. It sounds defective. Check with the manufacturer.

It sounds like either a bad connection, or there's a problem with the rheostat. I would unplug the unit, remove the bulb and try to reseat it. If that doesn't work, try a different bulb. If that doesn't work, try leaving the light on at half strength and see what happens.

Try resetting the "replaced lamp setting" on your tv again, maybe you dont actually need to replace the bulb. I would definitely get ahold of the manufacturer to make them aware of it, they might be open to replacing it so soon after the 90 day warranty.

Sorry. I did not have that issue as everything worked fine. But you should be able to replace the bulb.

Mine worked fine. Maybe its the light bulb that needs to be replaced. I don't know how to do that. Return it if you can.

I had a similar situation. after some research it was best to just buy another unit considering the bulb replacement cost

Make sure it's unplugged, unscrew the face plate, and examine the lightbulb. It may have been loosened from the connection or it may have broken. The bulbs are expensive so in the future be really careful not to drop it.

When the light has been out long enough to NOT be hot, just pull the bulb cluster by grabbing the ceramic base and wiggle-pull. there are pins holding it in that are about 1/2 inch long.

COntact the store you purchased the bulbs through. THey should be able to replace them. If that doesn't work, contact Amazon to see what they recommend.

I also bought two about two years ago. I think if any of the bulbs went out I would call the manufacturer - technical support to see if they are replaceable. Only they would know.

No bulb to replace. Samsung is aware of problems with this model (we have same set) and you might be able to have it repaired under their warranty. FYI the problem is with weak capacitors. Contact the factory, hopefully they will take care of your problem as they did for us. 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.

Dave, ours did the same thing. We figured it was the lamp going out so we purchased a new one and our problems were solved, its such and easy and inexpensive fix to just buy a new lamp. Hope this helps.

mine stopped working a few months after I bought it. We bought a new bulb online but still didnt work.

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

You may need to tighten the bulb. Make sure the wattage doesn't exceed the watts recommended by the manufacturer. You might try replacing the bulb. I hope this helps. If not then contact seller.
