Are these bulbs back lit? I bought some that only focused downward and did not light the pendant glass.

These bulbs are being used by me for landscaping lights and work perfectly.

They are not back lit. The parabolic lens creates a beam in the direction the bulb is pointed.

Not sure why yours is any different than mine. Mine are just fine. Unless you got shipped the wrong light. The only part that will show is the light itself with the lip on the outside. The rest is irrelevent. If it's not what you want or dont like the look, send them back!

No they are not dimmable it must be something they have installed. They are very nice though but make sure you check the bulbs carefully if you order them. One of mine had a small crack in one of the bulbs. I contacted the manufacture and they sent me a replacement right away. Hope that helps.

Mine were fine when I got them. I really like them. They give a low light at night-not a glare to the eyes.

Mine did not work. Also the wattage capacity is reduced when the bulb is pointed down for some reason. Buy the Phillips combination light/sensor

I had the same problem. Except my lights came with blue and white leads....After searching a few forums, I learned that they will only work wired correctly; meaning connected correctly, they will come on, wired in reverse they will not light up. I tried them both ways and found this to be accurate.

That was a problem I had with them, too. My solution at the time was to lengthen the harp on the light. I also used them in an overhead fan that had four bulbs. I had to loosen the globe and make the area roomier, if you will, in order to get it to work. I am not disappointed in them. They put out very little heat and are easily controllable with a dimmer. One thing that I did find out, if you try to use them in a light that has a three position switch, they will not work. It had to be a dimmable switch.

MIne worked the first 4 nights, but now they will not light. I though it may have been that we had a couple cloudy days, but after 2 full sun days, still nothing. I reread the insert, and it says to cover the panel for a day or two???? I am trying that now. I should know either tonight or tomorrow night if it works. Too bad if they don't....they were pretty.

I would just take the burnt out one to Lowes' or the like and ask them, it should have info printed on the rim. They are halogen bulbs.

Tammy, I'm afraid my bulb was defective when received and had to be returned. I believe some others have described some of the things which you are now seeing. Check all of the reviews. Good luck.

There's no trick to it....just plug & play. Either you got a bad batch or there is a compatibility problem. Double check the compatibility & if it's the correct bulb then return them. And you may want to double check that the fixture is getting power by putting in an old working bulb (of you have one.)

They shouldn't be lit at all with the switch off. There must be something wrong with your dimmer switch that it isn't going fully off. At my lowest dimmer setting the bulb will still have a dim glow but when switched off it's off. With that said some bulbs might have capacitors in them that could keep them lit for a short period after loss of power but if the bulb remains on for a long period I would check your switch.

Are they CFL light bulbs? I heard, but don't know for sure, that they may not be able to be dimmed. I'm probably all wet. My Lutron works GREAT and I love it. So sorry for your woes.

They dim pretty well, but not flawlessly. I have these bulbs all over the place on dimmers and most of them will dim down very low, but I have one or two out of the 18 that I have that just go off at a very low level.

Hi, sorry you're having a problem but I'm a customer, not the dealer. The light I purchased is working fine. Maybe somewhere during the shipping process the light was dropped. The bulbs in them are very sensitive to impact. I use replacement bulbs from Lowe's whereas buying from an electronics store tends to be pricey. Good Luck

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.
