lamp has started strobbing instead of continuous light. How do i fix?

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

Sounds like it might be a bad power transformer, or possibly the LED bulb itself. You should file a warranty claim for this problem, I think. If out of warranty, take the power transformer to Radio Shack and have them match it (and the connector) for a replacement; that might fix it for you.

I never had that issue, but I can assure you that your lamp is going bad. You can replace the lamp yourself & usually cost under $100. You may be able to find it on http://amazon.com. Hope this reply helps. Good luck.

I've noticed mine does not start up very well. Twist the bulb as if removing and then reinstall. It won't start immediately. Also, the indicator is not an LED like it looks, just a lens to the inside. Turn of the lights or shield ambient light, it might be on, you just can see it.

If I knew, I would not have thrown out 2 of them. Some representative told me (the customer) that I did not handle it properly. I had one that strobed (flashed) too. Go for a spotlight with LED technology that you can put good old fashioned alkaline batteries in (e.g., Eveready). Then it will always work when you really need it. Keep some batteries around the house.

it should not be flashing as default, it cycles through through the settings as you click. goes like this : high-medium-low-strobe-SOS-repeat so if you just turn it on and off again, it should work

Try changing the bulbs with standard bulbs. The bulbs that came with the lamp have a blinking mechanism built into them.

I have had problems with CFLs and LEDs in this lamp. They burn out quickly. I believe it has to do with the transformer in the power cord.

Probably the battery. I have had issues with it after purchasing the lamp. You should call the company. They have shown they have an outstanding customer service. They replaced the entire head when I contacted them.

That's a common problem with these lamps. Sometimes it's the batteries, sometimes the charging circuit If possible, I would just return them

don't know for sure. I've had two installed for about 6 months and one started to strobe. Had to kill power cause it was making the neighbors crazy. Best guess is it is related to the photocell. Try taping over the photocell to see if strobing stops. good luck

This isn't a 3-way bulb, but sounds like your lamp might have some problems.

Not sure, either. The potential problem: the bulb uses such a low current that the dimmer does not "sense" enough current use to maintain accurate control, causing the lamp to flicker.

It seems to me that your OxyLED lamp has a problem. I would send it back to be fixed or replaced. I checked mine again and it always starts and stops if I touch it right over the LED in a fast manner. If It were as erratic as yours is I would be dissatisfied for sure. I ordered on of the other mfgr's lamps that you mentioned. I'll see how it compares. As you said it is $20 less expensive which is a good feature too.Vic NettleI am in Tampa Florida, where are you, Yoon?

There is a small internal device that acts as a starter to make the bulbs light up. It sounds like that starter has gone bad. Contact Flowtron and send them the unit for repair.

Its probably not the diode or bulb, it's probably the driver or power supply. U probably will have to replace the fixture.

I have not had the problem..I would probably take it to a lamp shop...or an electrician.

I do not think so, and just went through the User Guide looking. I am back down to one line now, and believe that when it rings the appropriate line lamp flashes. cff
