When I turned on the lights everything was OK for couple of minutes and after that bulbs started to blow off one after another?!?

A few things it could be: 1. Your plugged into a power source with a dimmer. (They are not dimmable) 2. There is improper voltage where you are plugged in. (All fluorescents are very particular about voltage) 3. Your overloading the outlet/extension cord. 4. You have a bad fixture (is it one or all 3 acting up? If its all 3 its VERY unlikely its a fixture problem) Hope these things to look at help.

David already nailed it.Compare how all three light stands/boxes work, and if they all have the same problem, then, it is your power source or the way you are using them rather than lights themselves.

Although I never had that occur, and I have changed bulbs...I suspect the bulb is either defective or not securely installed.

Hey there, ive purchased a cheap one and this one and I believe it may be another issue shortening the life of these bulbs... Maybe the fan ? Maybe excess dirt? Both of mine only lasted about 10 months (max) also.

I had the same issue. Turns out one of the switches was the kind that glow when the power is off so you can see it in the dark. These allow a small amount of energy through causing the lights to flash. Replace the switch with a normal on/off and you should be good to go.

My guess is one or more of the infared bulbs went out and needs replaced. I believe they need to be replaced by a qualified technician. Just an educated guess not an official absolute solution. Hope that helps.

You should contact the company directly. I understand from past reviews that they have good customer service. I have had problems with my light randomly going off!

check your secondary fuse box if you plugged them in wrong originally it well blow the fuse (easy way to tell is plug old bulbs back in and see if you have break lights)

Are your bulbs exposed? The first time I bought ladybugs, I didn't realize they'd fly up to the lights and fry themselves...

I purchased same unit. The blue light at bottom would come on when plugged in. I took it apart to clean filter and the clear washer didn't seat properly so I got water in glass and bulb blew out. I purchased 2 bulbs on Amazon for about $25. Put in new bulb and made sure no water could seep in tube and its been going strong for over 6 months.

salam,first of all the bulbs will damage in 5 minutes so you have to buy new bulbs then if you use it continuous for 3-4 ours the base will melt.this is what happened with me

I've never had that problem. Buy quality bulbs from pet stores, not hardware stores. Also avoid bumping or shaking the fixture so you don't harm the bulbs.

Hi Dorothy, I gave the 2 bulbs to my sister. I will check with her to see if they are working. Ellen

If you have a meter that checks continuty you can check it with that.Be sure it is unplugged before you get into it but every time I have fixed one they all looked so bad but they couldn't last much longer,so I replaced them all.I have 3 heaters and I have had to replace them in 2 of them.I think this a weak point in them.I also had them replaced in the other one while it was under warranty.The bulbs are kinda expensive and I don't plan on buying anymore of these heaters unless they have a recall on them and give us some relieve.

It sounds like either a bad connection, or there's a problem with the rheostat. I would unplug the unit, remove the bulb and try to reseat it. If that doesn't work, try a different bulb. If that doesn't work, try leaving the light on at half strength and see what happens.

Both vehicle lights went off on their own. One within minutes the other, several days later. I guess it depends on the vehicle.

Make sure the bulbs are in correctly if that don't work the unit may be defective good luck
