I bought an 18w replacement bulb but it won't go in the floor lamp. Does anyone have a special solution. I think it can't get past the metal holder

My only thought is you got the wrong Bulb for your Lamp. Ott-Lit's are a special Bulb with a Special Socket that standard Bulbs will not fit. Personally, I junked my Lamp. The replacement Lamps were quite expensive and did not last very long. My advice is buy a lamp that uses standard bulbs.

Send it back. The bulb is irreplaceable. That's what I did when this happened at 2 months post purchase.

Same thing happened to mine. I ordered a replacement sensor - called a TOUCH LIGHT SENSOR by OK Lighting from Amazon (Prime). It's the same thing that is in the base of the lamp now. I'm only going to try one replacement sensor because I read that these touch lamps should not be left on all the time. I was using it for a lamp during the day and a night light at night so I guess I wore it out (in only a little over a month)!!!!! I really like the lamp and it will be a shame to have to trash it !!!!!

Never had a problem!! My lamp (knock wood) has worked perfectly since I installed it. My old bulb was not completely burned out so I saved it in the box for next time. If you have the old bulb re-install it and see if it too flickers. If it does there is a problem with the set. If it doesn't there is a problem with the new bulb. Best advice I can give.

my reply is I need to get one also but 42 W 4-quad bulb since I zapped mine with electro static discharge last night. the company you deal with should be able to give you the right replacement for the number you give him. look around if amazon can't help go to Full spectrum or a store near you that sells different type of bulbs. even Amazon should have replacement book to look it up.

Mine did the same thing. Can you unscrew the bottom and check and see if the bulb is screwed on tightly? Otherwise, I'd check with the seller.

All i did was screw it into a light fixture and it rotates on its own inside the bulb. If your's isn't rotating it may be broken. :o(

mine did not come with a replacement bulb. It does not work/function very well either, very temperamental. If you don't hold it just right, the light flickers on and off. We don't use it very often because of this. Good luck

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.

I bought a "Bell and Howell Sunlight Floor Lamp" for $69.99 on Amazon. The electrical connections shorted out in the base of my old lamp. Turns out I didn't need a new bulb.Richard

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.

If it's LED based, then you can't replace the bulb because there isn't one. If it doesn't light up, it's hard to say why. It sounds defective. Check with the manufacturer.

Is this the 1st time you have used the lamp? I ended up purchasing replacement bulbs only to find out the problem was a wire had come loose in the lamp itself.

Take out the glass by removing the metal spring, then the bulb should come out easily as it just held by electric wires. In case it gets stuck, just grab the glass part of the bulp with your fingers and twist it

Hi Suzanne, Make sure you buy a chandelier replacement bulb. Regular round bulbs wouldn't work in mine. If not, the socket where the dial is might have a short. It probably isn't worth getting a repair since you can just buy another one for around $30. By the way, how long have you had the lamp?

My lamp is older, and I had to screw it in. It looks great. Here's a pic: http://i.imgur.com/Ia5wmYX.jpg
