I've replaced my bulb with one of these but it doesn't work and now I can't remove it. Anyone else have this problem or know how I can remove it?

I had one that was hard to remove but a little force got it loose. I think the manufacturer doesn't set the tolerances well in manufacturing causing them to be hard to install or remove. Good luck.

It sounds like you don't have the little suction tool that comes with the light fixture (at least the one I bought did). It is very hard without this tool. I would suggest if you can't get it out as the other responders suggest then find a small suction cup that will fit and stick on the face of the bulb then twist CCW and it should come right out. Good luck!

One reason these might stick is due to excessive heat. Make sure the bulb and fixture is all the way cooled down before you wrestle with it. Expect to have to give it a good twist for it to release, the heat can almost weld it into place. Since the bulb is dead, don't worry about touching the glass. But don't touch the glass on new bulbs! Because they get super hot, any amount of oil from your fingers will kill them within a short amount of use. Also, there are 2 different kinds of these bulbs, one kind twist locks in and another just plugs straight in. If you push the twist lock bulbs into the plugs they will jam. You can work them loose with jiggling or crush the glass with pliers and pull out the pieces. It's not elegant but it's the only way to free the prongs. Hope this helps.

Not easy. I had a friend do it for me and then I was bound and determined to do it my self. Turn to left. Disengage the pins, by turning until they let go. Look and see s shaped part inside bulb. Line pins up with light fixture. Make sure you turn off fixture. Good luck.

This was a gift for my grandson. I don't know if they have tried replacing the bulb or not. If another person is having problems with it too, I wouldn't purchase it.

Replacing the bulb may solve the problem however it really sounds like the problem is in the adjusting knob itself. Based on the price you are better off just purchasing a new one or removing the knob and turning the the metal piece by hand.

I would open it up and reset the bulb. Dust off the inner connection also. It develops a lot of dust and the connection may not be there.

You have to get access to the back of the light.Take off the rubber cap on the back of the housing, unscrew the small phillips screw and then it should just pull out. Be careful not to touch the glass on the new bulb.

i received my package a day or so ago & one of the lights instantly overheated & stopped working. the other one works OK but the bulb seems very dim. is it possible for you to replace the broken piece?

I am sure that your problem has been solved by now, since I have not been checking my e-mails lately. When this problem happened to me, I just wait a few minutes until the moisture dries up, then it becomes easier to slide it off the bulb. Sorry for the delay in responding.

I have tried to replace the bulb myself and was unable to figure it out. I ended up purchasing a new one, I figured it was inexpensive enough and not worth the stress of finding a replacement bulb etc...

Company says bulb is replaceable. I suggest you contact them. They seem to.really want this product to be a success

When I removed my old burned out bulb the glass pulled out. When I replace it again (I own 2 of these type desklights) I am going to try pulling the "Base" and not the bulb. BTW: One of the suggestions is to use soft cloth when handling the glass part to prevent the oil from your fingers from tainting the light emission. ALSO .... The base is "Crimped" together and it "Will" pull apart. That also happened to me.

Unscrew it! Sometimes they do become difficult to twist because of the proximity to heat and grease buildup. Clean the glass bulb as well as you can and grab something like a rubber grip jar lid remover and push slightly against the bulb and twist.

I'm sorry. I don't think I can be much help. I don't know what that bulb is. I ordered it because it looked like the one in my lamp. As it turned out, it was my lamp that was broken. The bulb in my new lamp got recently broken, and I put the one I ordered in. Therefore, I don't know how long it will last.

You need to twist the entire bulb counter clockwise. Many units will require that you ally a little pressure to the bulb and twist at the same time. It will eventually come out.

Is it a matter of replacing a battery or bulb? Otherwise, I think you'll have to call the company. I cannot find my stick right at this moment (I have a couple of different ones) and so I can't check if it's even possible to replace those parts. I imagine the company would replace the whole stick for you - if the light just doesn't work.

This sounds like a problem with the bulb, or a loose connection. First, I would try removing the bulb from the socket and re-installing, just to see if the bulb might be loose. Next I would try a new bulb. If neither of those work, someone with electrical knowledge will have to check wiring and solder joints.

Sorry I can't help. I threw mine out after it failed to work in the lamp we bought it for. In fairness, I think the lamp was the problem, not the bulb.

I broke one of them by pushing it in instead of sliding in the space. The second one works perfect though. You have to hold the bulb with some paper towel or glove to make sure no contact happens. Then just slide it in one end and kind of fit it on the other end.
