Is the bulb made of silicone and is it bpa free? just got this from amazon and the description says it is silicone but packaging doesn't list that..

No worry, it is BPA free, I have had one for years and the bulb does not react with food, unlike basters with the rubber bulb.

I would suggest contacting Norpro to be sure but I assume as it is silicone it is bpa free to be food safe.

Nothing I could see on the packaging, but I can tell you that it is exactly the same bulb that I replaced in every form. Made in Germany and is the original bulb on the car. The one I replaced lasted 8 years.

I've had this lamp for more than a year now and I haven't had to replace the bulb yet, but it's simple to replace. I removed the bulb just to see if it was the same as two I already had. It is a halogen bulb, I bought them from Home Depot, but you can buy them in packs online. The only thing you have to do is remove the glass wax holder and pull the bulb up and it comes right out.

Nothing. We ordered one and less than 60 days later it stopped working. Couldnt get a refund or a new bulb. So finally i called Amazon and got a partial refund since the company I got it from refused to do it themselves!

My paperwork is in Az. The bulb itself says S.A.E. Y-93. I checked and can't find anymore info, sorry. They were cheap enough to be considered disposable but they have held up pretty well, no problems. If mine went out tomorrow I'd figure I got my money's worth.

Yes it is. As rick said buy this bulb. DO NOT buy a cheap one. I have bought the other cheaper ones and it is a waste of money. They will not last. I got this one and it has been going since the first of the year and is still burning like a champ. Our tv is on for no reason 16 or more ours a day lol.

I bought one from this company so you wouldn't be buying it from me. That being said, I haven't inspected the light but I would guess its a standard bulb given the price.

Sorry, Robert - I had thrown away the packaging, and the only clue on the bulb itself was "Made in China" :-(

The bulb is replaceable. I replaced the 55 watt bulbs with 130 watt bulbs. I can't remember if they are a really hard plastic or a metal alloy. I know the mounting bracket is metal, not sure about the black casing.

Yes the bulb is wearing out if its going on and off best to replace it and do not touch the glass it burns so hot the oil from your finger will make a hot spot and short life for the bulb but do recommend lube on the brass part just a touch so next bulb change will not stick in the socket silicone works the best I think but very little so it will not run down onto the glass of the bulb also check the light sensor is not picking up light from another source

The generic bulb I recieved was made in China. I sent it back, cause it flickered like a strobe light. I then spent the extra money and purchased a Mitsubishi factory bulb with the housing and it was made in Mexico, had to adjust the brightness back down after install the factory bulb. You get what you pay for. Bulb still going strong.

No, leave plastic off. Do not touch the bulb. Use a towel or clean rag if handling.

I purchased this lamp October of 2013 and it has worked fine so far. The item as you can see is sold by Dynamic Lamps and my bulb came with a a warranty card but I can't say if the bulb is a genuine Sony product or an approved Sony replacement. It is the correct Sony part number recommended in the manual and it is still working very well. When I purchased this bulb the price was $84.99 plus $5.49 S&H.; At the price being offered of $46.46 as of this date 08/05/2014, I may just order a spare. Hope this helps.

You should be able to ask the seller this question. We have had no problems this far with this replacement bulb!

Hi Karen, Yes, the silicone is BPA-free. We will likely be adding this information to our packaging in the future. Thanks, Bridgett from Flourish & Thrive

They say it's rated for 6000 hours. Can't confirm as I am no where near that amount of hours on new bulb. The housing is plastic.
