My pt43lc14 unit has yellow blinking lights 8 times. Some posts say it is the CBA voltage. Can a bad bulb cause this. Also, I pulled the bulb, if the bulb is burnt out would it be visible? burnt filament?

Do you have your manual for this unit? If not, you can find it by searching for just the number pt43LC14. I pulled up the manual on the internet, it is a PDF file so just right click the file that says Multimedia Projection Display Operating Instructions and download it to your computer. Here is the link: service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/PT43LC14.PDF. and according to your manual you have only two options with a yellow blinking light: Power Indicator Flashes orange 1 time every 5 seconds. Power shuts off. The internal cooling fan is not working. Contact service center. Flashes orange 2 times every 5 seconds. Power shuts off. The Lamp Cover is unsecured. Securely attach Lamp Cover. If you have a bad bulb it will flash red. If the bulb is totally burned out, like mine recently was, the TV will just flash green then red.

The power supply in the base of the bulb is very sensitive to static or glitchs.all of mine are still going strong except for the one I touched with a static charge.

A lightning strike wouldn't surprise me at all. These units are prone to that, since they are metal and outdoors. Definitely do not mean to insult you, but did you check the breaker? Ours trips sometimes. If you did check the breaker, then your board may well be out? Do you see any dark or burn spots on the back of the board? You'd have to check with Goldline to verify, but I think the sticker contains the model and possibly the serial number. What is the code printed after "PN:" on your board?

It may be the lamp, but it sounds more like something else that is causing the TV to overheat. I had to replace a board in my DLP a few years ago when it did that - would have been expensive without insurance. If the light is blinking after the unit turns off, the sequence of blinks is sometimes an indicator of the problem, so check your manual. Good luck - may be cheaper to buy a new TV!

On my unit the green light went out after a while, while the unit was still in warranty. The unit otherwise appeared OK. I called Intermatic and after some discussion and email they sent me a new unit. Their thought was that the light burned out. I took the 'bad' one apart and it looked OK on the inside, so it likely was a bad bulb. The green light should always be on when the unit is powered.

I'd say you're getting lights from a bad batch that weren't inspected. I have three and have never had any problems and use them 24/7, send them back with a request for lights from a different batch.

No. It's not the bulbs. It's the base. For some reason it shorts out. I've found it happens if you generate static shock while touching the lamp.my initial 2 went out with in weeks. (I bought 2) just had a replacement go out last week. So will be calling for a replacement again.

Check to make sure it is the right one for your bulbs. If it isn't putting out enough voltage to fire the bulb and then maintain it, you may have the wrong ballast or the wrong bulbs. That's what happened to me....I ordered the a D2R bulbs when I really needed D4R. Still have them if you need D2Rs New...give you a great deal on them.

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.

I've installed one of these switches with a LED floodlight from Home Depot. The light turns on fine, but when the switch is off, the light blinks about once every 2 seconds, like a flash. Very annoying. (And the directions specifically state to do NOT use with CFLs.) Get the EJ600 to use with LEDs.

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.

That is odd. Did you let it sit for a while? I remember blinking lights for sometime before the constant green light came on.I'd contact Amazon or the manufacturer to see if you can exchange it. Personally, I love mine and even gave one to my best friend for her birthday. I use DuraCell batteries.

I'm using the Philips UV-C tube as a stand-alone light in a standard fluorescent fixture in a basement. (The bulb's radiation is dangerous to the eyes and skin.) I doubt if a power outage would cause this type of bulb to "burn out." Do the other lights in your house still work? Sounds like the problem is in the Ionic Breeze. Does it have a re-set button or a fuse? Does the manufacturer have a toll-free number or a "Q & A " section on their Web site? Good Luck.

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.

Some bulbs apparently flicker going down the road on high beam, and some people apparently are having ballast problems, the ballast heats up the bulbs to burn bright. I have never had these problems with mine and I have bought two sets for my pick-ups and friends who have bought for their pick-ups with no problems

I have the same issue with Shore Al, original switch was installed in 1999, then replaced incandescent bulbs with CFL around mid-late 2000s, then replaced the switch about 3-4 yrs ago, then now I hear sparking/static sound every time I turn on the light on.I may just convert to energy saving halogen and replace the switch

I have only experienced this with LED bulbs on a different light housing. I'd recommend trying a regular light bulb/flood light bulb to see if the blinking still occurs.
