Have you had the thumb screws strip out or become a problem? Considering getting a Hydrofarm Radiant 8, only cause it has latches for the glass.

My personal experience with these reflectors has been great . 2 out of my 6 reflectors are the blockbusters and they blow away my other air cooled hoods. They have so much more light coverage and if your having probs with them stripping out just unhook your ducting to clean your glass i know thats pretty obvious just a suggestion

No never had a problem with the new style hinges on Sun System lights. Not one reflector has been sent back because of stripped screws. Thanks

If you look at the lid 'bottom up' you will see two holes in the glass: one for the screw, the other off center about an inch, with a peg (part of the knob assembly) for stabilization. If the way it was put together on yours offends you, you could try taking the screw out and rotating the knob to the centered position.

I just had my husband tighten it and that solved the problem. However, had that not worked, I was planning on putting a piece of gripper pad (the kind you can get at the dollar store for opening jars) around the bar under the clamp.

Hey, I still haven't attempted mine, however, my friend does fix them for a living and he told me its easier to buy the whole LCD w/glass, that if you try removing glass wrong it'll snap the LCD board if you don't use a heating pad like repair shops use. He said just buying the glass is a money scheme though, that's why I haven't tried mine yet

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

Mine came right off when I pryed my nail under it. If the unit is faced down, I tugged up on the slot on the side. Or, try contacting the manufacturer. Their literature that came with the unit indicated they have good customer service. Sorry, wish I could help more.

Try to loosen the screws a little if you recently tightened them. I use mine everyday multiple times a day for work opening boxes and cutting rope and other things mine works perfect but had a lot of wear on the finish.

When I removed my old burned out bulb the glass pulled out. When I replace it again (I own 2 of these type desklights) I am going to try pulling the "Base" and not the bulb. BTW: One of the suggestions is to use soft cloth when handling the glass part to prevent the oil from your fingers from tainting the light emission. ALSO .... The base is "Crimped" together and it "Will" pull apart. That also happened to me.

No. it's not normal. I see what you are talking about but on my sons the ends of the screws are flat against the plastic so when I rub my fingers over them they do not poke out. I would return/exchange the one you have.

I've not had to fuss with mine much at all. A couple tips? 1) the top goes 'on' in almost the lock position-the reach of my thumb is enough to ease it into the locked position. 2) this has a rubber-gasketed seal on the top, so if it gets too clean it will be hard to move into lock. A quick dab of flour or water or veg. oil and it moves very smoothly. 2 things I do like are that the blades click into place on the bowl so you don't have to contend with them falling out when you empty the bowl, and I think because of that and the gasket seal, you can process more liquids without making a mess.. Hope it helps. I've not had to fuss with mine much at all.

Same happened to mine. cheap metal vent, don't like it... but unscrewing/lossening the nut on the inside sort of worked out. Managed to unstick it, but handle broke. Contacted Vision Grill.... not response. Contacted again.... no response. Called, no answer or call back. 5 year warranty that seemingly cannot be acted upon. contacting Costco, where I bought it.

Mine does not have screws. The end caps pop off, so they probably added those to stop that.

On their website, the knob on my lid broke also. http://sunstea.com Search for lid and I found it.

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

Haven't had that issue. Was tight opening so when I loosened the pivot screw was grinding against the liners on closing

Thanks for the info! I opened up the housing and found that the plastic pin that forms a 'pivot' for the orange handle was partially broken. No hope of repair without buying new parts. So (like you), I rigged the switch to be permanently on! Still have all my fingers & toes after one mow.
