Just received ------ 1 out of 3 installed exploded. Could have been bad but was in a globe, is this typical of this bulb?

Same experience as Kevin. The bulbs were made in Mexico. I'm using them in a standard lamp for light and heat over a tank with a turtle. The bulb is on about 16 hours a day. Nothing out of the ordinary -- works just like the older regular bulbs. Obviously you want to make sure that water doesn't splash on a hot bulb.

It is a terrible bulb. My bulb melted at the base, smoked, and shot off sparks. It is a fire hazard.

We like the lighting system very much but the extreme heat of the bulbs has become problematic. I'm going to take the spare replacement bulb that came with the lighting unit to my local hardware store and have them look at the bulb and advise me. If you or anyone else can come up with a more definitive answer, please let me know also. Thanks.

Actually , my bulb arrived broken , so I never got to try it..... Apparently it does work and I do intend to try again! Hope this helps...

Well, I ordered two different bulbs and used these in my Harley. The first bulb was likely defective because it burnt out in 2 days; the second bulb died after a month or so because the heat it produced built up condensation in the headlight housing and ruined it. I now use the normal bulbs haha

Yes the part was correct and there was no problem with packaging. It was installed correctly, however there is a thick Red banner across the top of the television. I've tried reinstalling the part but the banner remains. I have decided to keep the part because the television won't work without it. My original bulb has blown. I will keep the part, but other supply might be of same quality.

I would avoid this bulb. I purchased 6 to use in ceiling fans throughout my house. Within one month time all 6 had quit working. They are about the size of a standard bulb and screw into a standard bulb socket. Hope that helps

Hi Debra. I cracked my plastic globe cover and ordered this unit to replace. you have to buy the whole thing (cover and base) in order to get a cover -- they don't seem to be sold separately. I bought the nested neon replacement bulbs at the same time . ta! (Rick)

Sounds like you may have gotten a bad bulb. Contact iPower customer service and they will send you another one. My bulb was also damaged in shipping and I called them and they sent me another one. If that is not the issue their customer service will fix it.

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.

mine is also that vintage - same bulbs as indicated - The less expensive bulbs don't seem to last - I've had a couple that didn't last 2 weeks - fortunately the let place I bought them refunded my complete order when I complained- vey good! I'm trying the new LED bulbs to see if their lifetime is better. I bought the suction cup to unscrew the bulb a long time back - Almost any hardware store should have something similar - a cup holder with suction cup sounds about the right size. Caution - for a blown bulb, sometimes the suction cup simply pulls the glass from the front of the bulb - need a part of needle node pliers to get the bulb out if this happens.

Yes, you shouldn't worry about that :) But let me suggest you something: I highly recommend if you'll use this bulb for this fixture. For me, it's one of the best I've purchased because the light output, durability, and efficiency are impeccable. Also, the color of the light and the fixture blends well. Hope it helps (Pack of 4) G25 LED Bulb 6W, Warm white, 3000K, 40W Globe Bulb Incandescent Replacement, clear Cover, Dimmable, UL Listed, Energy star certified,

Unless there was an abnormal voltage surge, it would have been the light bulb that was bad. Halogen bulbs get very hot and if the seal for the bulb is weak. the expansion and contraction from the heat would cause a leak, leading to a failure.

No. It's not the bulbs. It's the base. For some reason it shorts out. I've found it happens if you generate static shock while touching the lamp.my initial 2 went out with in weeks. (I bought 2) just had a replacement go out last week. So will be calling for a replacement again.

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?
