Do I have to sit under a heat lamp in order for the product to work?

I believe the instructions say to sit under a dryer or similar heat device.

Heating pad, sit on it, or direct light. Pretty much anything to warm it up...

It only provides heat. The waz it works is that there is a heating element - wires that get red hot when the lamp is turned on - and on top of the heating element there is a black plate of something that is covering the plate. When the heating elements gets hot it heats the plate immediately above it and the plate then gets hot and radiates heat towards the part of my body it faces. No visible light is emitted by the final black plate, and as it blocks the heating plate, no light is visible.

You need a special lamp cord with a small wattage bulb. There are some great ones for sell here on Amazon that have a light bulb that changes colors and a remote control with it. A regular light bulb would melt this type of lamp

I believe you can. I wrote my review prematurely, within a day, this lamp stopped working completely. It may be the bulbs. I haven't had the time to even try to look at it. If you haven't already ordered this, I'd say save your money.

Hi there - My lights work - I would say as long as it is cooking and "heating" don't worry - or send it back. 98

No, my unit works without any heat problem. I recommend this product very well.

That's what I wondered too, if it needed to "warm up" first, or be in an extra-dark room. You may have a faulty one too like me. I had to tap on it near the bottom & turn it upside down & hold it it at an angle to get it to light up-not what you should do to make it work! Email Amazon & they'll fwd it to Scientifics & they should email you back w/phone #. I called them today & they said Fedex would pick it up next day & send me another one. So hope next one works! Good luck with yours! :)

Yes you can. I had a regular bulb and the lamp got hot. I wanted to be able to leave it on for long periods, so I put the curly bulb and it works fine and stays cool. Sorry, I can't remember the letters for the bulb, but it is the energy efficient.

No, every heat lamp should come with a metal bracket used for hanging it above the screen. If it does not then there it is not meant to be used on this lamp holder.

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.

Hmmmmm I never tried mine until I installed it but that don't sound good. You made sure you had somthing in it to heat up because if there is nothing inside you won't feel any heat.

Yes, that is where I have it. However, I have an extension (can fixture, receiver then the extension) so the heat lamp is closer. I do not know if the transmitter can see the receiver without the extension. But mine works great. I have it in one of the light fixtures. It goes off automatically when I flip the switch or by remote, but only goes on with the remote - which works great for me.

No, not at all. I have used the lamp and radio featre continuously for over 1 1/2 hours and did not notice any heat emitting from it.

no, it is a desk lamp without a buld, i advise you to use a led bulb so that is doesn't get hot

Try LED candles and see if that works. Those tend to not heat up as quickly.

I had to charge the battery first. Also you can set it for different power levels. The heating might be subtle at lower levels.
