Buy a new one. When these have anything go wrong, it is cheaper to buy a new one than try and fix. I had problems with the light on mine, and it was not the light, but something in the wiring. I purchased a new one from Amazon. Very happy

Mine died recently too, but since I was trained in electronics/electricity in the Marines, I thought I'd just fix it. Nope, the lamp is built so that when it dies, you just need to toss it. After 8 or 10 years, I just ordered a new one from Amazon. Bell and Howell is a very good name in the industry, but I guess, as in all things, you just have to know when to say when. Save yourself a headache, and buy a new one.

Yes I have the same issue. You have to it ignite then move it to regular(hi-lo) hopefully it will stay lit. I have to do it several times for I can never make it work

I would try a known good light bulb. If that doesn't work return it the sockets broken if that does work it's probably a bad bulb.

Try taking the bulb out and re-inserting it in its setting or even a new bulb.

Maybe you got one that has a broken wire. Return it and ask for a replacement. Mine worked the first time. Still powering my lighter I installed.Sorry I can't be of more help.

It should just light up. Is the light screwed in properly? It could be a faulty light bulb. Mine fired up quickly.

buy a new unit. for the price of these new if you have a few of the LEDS go out you should just buy a new unit. they are not worth messing with. I have 3 lamps go out on mine after a few hours. they sent me a new one.

send it back for a refund. You need both prongs in order for the bulb to work. :) Hope this helps.

I just pulled up on it but don't do this with the unit plugged in. That is how it shorted out for me. Good luck.

Did you turn it on using the nob in the from first. Try that first. If not, check your outlet and try plug to another outlet. And if thats not the case you have to send it back for a new one. I hope thats kind of helpful.

Make sure the socket has power and that the cord is properly plugged in, try a another one if you have one, the size is pretty generic. But yes, either the unit is dead or it isn't getting power. In the off chance the bulbs have gone out you can see if it's charged by using the power meter.

Make sure you didn't get so much grease on that the two parts no longer make electrical contact. Try wiping the grease off the threads and the end of the part with the light so it makes a good contact.

Check your power source. Make sure it's strong enough. Maybe you just got a bad bulb ! Mine is still working fine.

Mine didn't light up for a bit- until I accidentally clunked someone with it. Oops- looks like your is defective.

Your lamp probably needs to be hardwired into a recessed box. If you want to put a plug on it, it's not difficult. If you don't feel comfortable with that, ask someone qualified to help you. It's really not difficult but something you need to make sure is correct.

The lighter plug has a fuseThe fuse may have blownTry a technical place like radio shack to see if the can test it or get you a USB adapter

No those were the only instructions I did and it came on. You might have gotten a blown out light. Try plugging it in where you know electricity is working to make sure it's not your outlet. If that doesn't work definitely get a return label for a new one. Hope this helps!
