How do you install the bulb? The bulb has 2 pins and the ceramic block in the lamp doesn't seem to match.

Be sure the QL-1000 quartz light is unplugged before you try putting the quartz light in. The little ceramic block is the receptor, and it will give way from a little bit of pressure. In other words, one end of the quartz light gets pushed in (about 2 mmm), before the other end is maneuvered in. Don't try to slide the quartz light in like a fluorescent light. There won't be enough room for it to go in. The trick, is angling the light in, and pushing one side in before the other side starts to fit. I go through those little lights about every week (assuming I am doing a lot of shoots all day long, 12 to 16 hours a day), or once every month (assuming I am doing about three shoots a month, 8 to 12 hours per shoot). The real problem with the QL-1000 is not putting the light in, it's tolerating the whirr of the built-in fan.

Check your lamp. Bulb has 4 tubes & 4 pin connector to lamp socket. Compare your lamp bulb with lamp pictured.

Make sure your bulb is not lose, in the socket, if you still have trouble, try putting the bulb in a lamp or something, to see if it does the same thing, if it does, call the place where you got it. thank you

HiYou need to use your original kit. (Bulb and plastic cover) or buy a new one.

Looks like a round screw on fitting that holds shade in place and then you put bulb into socket. If you need I might take a photo of inside of shade with bulb already in place.

You appear to have a three way bulb. This in not designed for a three way bulb. It is for an halogen "pencil" bulb.

Which bulb are you referring to? Is it the switch bulb or your own lamp? If its your lamp check the jumpers in back and you have it plugged into the correct plug. There could also be a short inside these are made in china so not the best in quality but they work.

Just grab the bulb and slightly twist it clockwise until it comes out. Then get the new bulb, align it, then twist it back counter clockwise to where it was.

I would try a known good light bulb. If that doesn't work return it the sockets broken if that does work it's probably a bad bulb.

It's been awhile, but the lamp body has a separable mounting bracket. Slide the bracket off the body, screw the bracket to the wall, then re-attach the body to the bracket. I believe there is a set screw that must be loosened on the side of the body, then tightened to secure the two together.

Sorry, haven't had the problem yet. My recommendation would be to try something you've probably done already - take the actual dead bulb to a lighting store or a Lowes or Home Depot to get an exact match.

You replace the bulb by first unplugging the lamp to make sure there is no power to the power unit. Then turn the bulb holder handle counter clockwise a small amount until the bulb holder unlocks from the power unit and the bulb holder can be pulled from the power unit. Then, using caution as to not break the old bulb, (I used leather gloves and a clean cloth - to protect the hands and not leave oils on the bulb) pull the old bulb straight out from the holder. Note that the ceramic end of the lamp has grooves on one side that will allow the new bulb to only fit in the holder only one way. Place the new bulb in the holder with the grooves in correct position and push in on the bulb until seated. Again, handle with care and do not use excessive pressure. Carefully slide the new bulb and holder assembly back into the power unit and twist clockwise until it locks in place. Plug the unit back in and you

the wires need to be pushed up into the bulb holder so these connectors hold the bulb then the wires extend to the bottom so you can push them together to make the electrical connection. very easy to do. instructions are in package. had one together in less than 10 minutes. good luck!

I haven't had to change one yet, but I believe the whole lower assembly (silver ring and glass) twists into place on a mounting bracket. I assume you twist it slightly one way or the other and it will drop from the bracket and reveal the bulb. Hang on to it, seems I remember it being heavier than you might expect.

I ended up having someone install it for me. I must say it was not easy for the electrician to do it, it took him long. Its worth it though, the lamp looks very good. Sorry I could not be of any help. Good luck

You will need to remove the bulb from the lamp and look at the number on the base of the bulb to see which one you have. You have to have the bulb number and the number of pins. There are so many choices that this is the only way you can be sure you get the correct bulb.

maybe its the bulb? i had to tackle mine a bit to get it into the socket properly. check that and if not then maybe u need to try a new bulb and if that doesnt work then maybe you got a faulty one. Mine is amazing IT WORKS FANTASTIC, no issues so far its a wayyyy better buy than i expected ..goodluck!
