Has anyone experienced loose sockets when putting in the lightbulbs?

No. I went and checked it again when I saw this question. It is quite the opposite. Seems very firmly put together.

There is a screw there. The lightbulb is unlike any i have seen before. I suppose you could, but I would just buy a new one.

I've had very good luck with mine, and no issues. Be sure to use dielectric grease on the connections before installing the bulb. Its possible a lack of grease along with thr high wattage could be heating up the connection and shortening the bulb life. Use a plain paper towel when handling the bulb. Oil in even the cleanest skin can shorten bulb life.

I've got a lot of experience with loose outlet sockets. I just very gently twist each plug bar in opposite directions, so they are no longer parallel. It increases the pressure of the plug bar against the metal sides inside the plug so the higher friction holds it tighter in place. Don't twist too hard or you will break off the plug bar - just hard enough to put a slight twist in the bar.

The bulbs inside the lamp are not fixed firmly. They are attached to a spring which is inserted into the actual space in the salt then it expands. One of them had completely come out when I received them. I have bought this kind of lamp before and the chord coming out of the lamp is securely attached to the base which hold the whole thing safely. I think these lamps are not safe

I haven't had that happen to me. My regular bulbs would run so hot they were burning my covers. These bulbs can stay on for a while and the cover isn't even warm.

I inserted the bulb to the base, but it is very loose. Since I installed it between A-Coil and Blower, I worry that it can go off by itself and be blown to everywhere by the blower. Any solution?

The unit uses a socket nut in which needs to be screwed on before putting the light bulb.

Be sure the lightbulb in the base is okay, and not loose. We had to leave our lamp on for a long time before the contents would flow. Also, contact the company as they were good about replacing the first lamp we received. We were told the lamps do not ship well in cold weather, but the second lamp has been fine.

The power supply in the base of the bulb is very sensitive to static or glitchs.all of mine are still going strong except for the one I touched with a static charge.

Actually haven't had a problem with that. My bulb tends to fall out when you close it up, so I open it carefully

I have not had that problem either. Other than buying a good bulb and being careful not to bump them ESPECIALLY when they are on I would say to be sure you are buying correct bulbs (wattage) for the domes. The domes have a maximum on the box of what you should put in them.

I've been using flourescent bulbs in mine without any problem. Hope that helps!

We have not had problems installing new bulbs. Some of our bulbs have burned out sooner than anticipated, but we've had no problems getting them to lock in.

If the bulbs come in when you open the door its not a bulb issue. But to answer your question I've had no problems with the lights

I'm lucky as I never had to change my bulbs yet, but I think you need to unscrew the screws and the glass plate comes off and then you can remove the lightbulbs. Hope that helps.

Yes... mine were wobbly as well. Need to handle with care. In fact, to date I've had to return 1 of 2 bulbs because they were broken. Need to look closely at them. For some reason the packaging doesn't hold up well.
