Is it truly a one-touch lamp? I just got mine and I could not get it to turn on unless I touched 2-3 times. Is it normal?

Mine has always worked on the fisrt touch for me. Sensitive enough that I have inadvertantly changed brightness levels by touching it accidently. See if it is more sensitive to someone else's touch (really). If not, check with manufacturer for resolution.

In my experience it is technically a one-touch lamp, but depending on the accuracy of my hitting the center of the button, and perhaps the softness of my tap, I sometimes have to tap it twice. And, to be sure, it may be "user error" but I also usually have to tap it once more to adjust it to my preferred lowest setting. Nevertheless, I find the lamp overall an excellent one that I'd recommend to anyone.

Hi there. I just tried the lamp and it does in fact turn on. You have to press it directly in the center. You can adjust the light by touching the dots around the center from high to low. We love the lamp, it is stylish and the light is very bright. I would think that if the button does not work you should return it for a new lamp. It was a bit pricey, but we love it as a desk lamp. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem in the beginning, similar to the problem I've had on my smartphone and Kindle. I find if I use the balls of my fingers and not the fingernails or finger tips I can usually get it on the first try. I use my lamp 12-15 hours a day in my home office.

David,I received 3 lights. I can put them in 3 different areas of the house (each one separately) and they light up when sensing motion. If you have them close together, one light can trigger another, but they should work independly. Move the lights into different rooms and see if they will turn on with motion. This is the way my lights work. Good luck. I am very happy with these lamps. Like I said if I move my lamps separately into three different rooms they turn on and off with motion.ONE LIGHT CAN TRIGGER ANOTHER LIGHT IF THEY ARE CLOSE TOGETHER.Good luck and I hope they work out for you. Mine are still stuck on with the double sided tape, but will eventually put a screw in the base.Terry David,I received 3 lights.

Actually, it should begin rotation once power is turned on. The lamp I used doesn't have a switch, and must be plugged/unplugged for power,(it's an old touch lamp with a dysfunctional touch function) and every time I plug in, it immediately begins rotation. It sounds like yours might be broken, but try it in another lamp to be sure. Good luck!

the touch switch is at the lamp base. it won't work by touching anywhere else.

I did. But the touch system (to turn on, brighten and dim) no longer works. I have to plug and unplug to turn on/off and no longer have the dimming feature. I'm not certain that the bulb is the cause.

I had the same issue with the lamp. I tried 3 different ones including the one Sony sells. All were bad. Had to change the TV.

Maybe you have a defective lamp ...we did not have any issues and it still functions perfectly after a year. Call Amazon and they will issue a return form....best of luck with the replacement! Follow the instructions and you should be happy with the lamp!!

Yes & No ... I just moved mine to a switch and it will turn the light off , if already on, but you must touch it to turn it back on. I would not recommend it if you are looking for a lamp that will switch on and off without having to hunt for it in the dark and touch it. It always has to be within an arm's reach.

I have 3 of these and they are great. They do not turn off and on with a single touch. It lights up the lamp brighter with three touches and on the fourth will shut off.

Yes, I have. I ordered 2 of these. one is OK. On the second one, the light does not turn off. returning.

My advice is to get this very good lamp, but don't buy the touch operating version. Opt for the button operating one. Read the Amazon description. At the end it will tell you the right model number.

The stupidly designed lamp is in demo mode by default. Unlatch the battery compartment, take out all the batteries then put them back in. Your lamp should now function normally. Yes, terrible design.

Dear friends,ZITRADES Trademark Desk lamp is not normally desk light. it's one Idea desk lamp. long time reading as below: 1 touch with strong light can use 1-1.5h. 2 tourch with middle light can use 4-5h. for the 3 touch can use 8-9 hours. no worries for that ,you can go and buy them from ZITRADES directly. thank you ZITRADES

It seems like this is par for the course. One of the three lamps never works, the second will work for a while. But then my blue one has been working faultlessly for 18 months. Go figure!

I've got my lamp pluged into an electrical strip, and with each touch to the base, it gets brighter till the 4th touch and it turns off. Your lamp should should turn off with the 4th touch, if not, could be defective.

Sounds like yours is either faulty or doesn't have the right bulb installed. Mine is super sensitive and I barely have to brush it for it to change levels and turn on and off.

I also had something happen when I turned the lamp on. Something popped and the lamp no longer works. I was unable to find any repair parts. My estimation is that it is a piece of junk. It never worked at all.
