Is anyone having trouble with the lamp being wobbly in the base? I have tightened it all the way but it still wobbles....is it just mine?

I took mine off the base and hung it on a wall, so I'm afraid I can't help with this question.

SOLUTION - Yes, I had the exact same problem The solution is simple. Wrap a small rubber band around the bottom of the arm where it fits into the base. When you screw on the black threaded arm holder, the seal is nice and tight... so absolutely no wobble, but it still allows the lamp to rotate smoothly.

I didn't have that problem with my lamp. It was identical to the old one. But if I was running into that problem I would try to get those screws out from the old one. If that doesn't work try lowes to find same threaded thickness screws and rig it up. I'm curious as to why the old lamp has different screws if it is infact the same model.

Mine arrived with a broken bulb as well (boo!). I've been unable to find a bulb locally, and when they had them on amazon.com they cost as much as the lamp. This seems to be a thing with this company.

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!

Mine is also very wobbly... I just left it how it was because I didn't know what else to do. We don't have much action around it so it has been fine the couple of years I've had it now.

Maybey ur missing a screw in the bottom which helps keep it balanced it sounds like a screw broke i had it happen which made it wobble ,check the bottom

I put my foot on the base to readjust the angle etc. (bending the neck) Otherwise the handle, on the light lets me move it around easily. I have not had a tipping problem. I really love this lamp.

I don't have this problem, but it sounds like you have an electrical short in the lamp. I would return it. Good luck.

Take a look in the back and see if the lamp is still working. If it's not it's supposedly easily replaceable.Have you had the concave screen problem I've had?

I had them installed for me. And your right they did have some trouble also. They are up and I do like the lamps I have used them in two rooms andthey work well. I believe it was the wall bracket bar that the lamps screw into that he had to adjust. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

You can tighten the side knob with a coin but it gets loose so you have to keep trying to tighten it to stay in place. My friend has one and she does not seem to have the problem that I am having. I suppose it depends on the lamp you get.

That happened to me about a month ago. Amazon was great and advice me to return the defective product. I bought a different brand of lamp now and it's been working great. Good luck.

When I first replaced the lamp, it took me a few times to get the lamp locked into place. Once it's in place, it should work fine. I also needed to clean off the dust from the inside of the connectors with a rag. Hope that helps

I bolted a 2x4 to the non-movable frame of my tilting drafting table, and then clamped the lamp to that. That works OK. If it were attached to the movable table top, raising or lowering the top could unbalance the lamp.

I would return the lamp you got. I did not have this problem. Make sure u ordered the correct replacement.

It may be normal but it is not necessary to keep it if it is unattractive. Mine was pieced together badly so that it looked like a polar ice cap on top. They had me take a photo and send it to them and then sent me another lamp w/o me sending the first one back.

Whenever I try to adjust the height, it doesn't stay in place. In fact, one time the shade came crashing on my head. Now I have it at the lowest height and I turned the shade up so that the bulb faces the ceiling. This way it puts out plenty of light. I also use a different light bulb than the one that came with it. The quality on this lamp is very poor. I don't recommend getting it unless you are handy (like my husband) and can fix things, like the faulty switch.
