Is the dome part supposed to be unattached and wobbly? Is there something special I'm supposed to do to get this to rotate or light?

It is wobbly. You're not supposed to do anything - it will light on and rotate as soon as you turn the switch on. It will not work with some dimmers though.

Screw in center needs to be tight...no wobbly...and the rotation quit on mine after a short time (couple weeks of 24/7)...a little light lube might get it going again...I suggest 3-in-one oil...sewing machine oil...don't get it on the lens or it will crap it out...I used P-B Blaster and it wasted my lens...but it quit spinning again very shortly ,so that was a moot point...hthy...Hobbiehubbcapp.

Yea it is wobbly and unattached and it is suppose to rotate. If it isnt you going through the same thing I did.

No. The dome is attached to the bottom part. You just have to plug it in and it lights up and rotates.

Without taking my lamp out and looking, I don't recall any moving parts, other than the screws to tighten lamp in mounting. Once installed it is not subject to tilting.I have now purchased and installed my second lamp. the first one after 750 hours still worked great. 2nd one is for backup and wanted to make sure it is ok. so far just fine. When I get a 200+ hours, I will reinstall the first lamp. I have had no problems with other one. Far more cost effective than $340 one from Epson. Had 3. none of which lasted more than 600 hours.I

It does not adjust up and down other than the swivel on the head of the lamp itself. Once it is put together, it does not go any higher or lower.

The neck of the pedestal is solid, so there is no way to change positions; therefore, it always tilts down. I believe this is to ensure the clarity of the picture, as I've noticed that when I am standing, I can hardly see the screen at all (too bright).

Loosen the Allen screws where the dome meets the bracket and tilt the whole dome and then tighten them back up! that's what I did with Mine.

Is it on a level surface? Can you double check that it has been put together per the instructions? My only other thought would be, to check to see if any of the pieces or parts are damaged. Mine is very stable, and not at all wobbly or shaky. In fact, I have had no issues with it since I bought it more than a year ago. I couldn't be happier.

No, it is very light (no pun intended)! I like it, though I don't need all the light settings, especially the probe light. Who would use that? The ONLY complaint I would have though is a catch 22. I like that you can rotate the light down at different angles and I usually have it tilted one notch but when you look up toward the ceiling the weight of the light pops it back flush with your head, so I would say if there is a lot of movement while wearing it, you won't use the tilt feature.

Sorry it has taken so long to respond to this question. It sounds like you have a 'twist' in the frame. This can be fixed. You need to follow the frame from the top of the tent down to where you feel the frame begin to twist and work the twist in the opposite direction until it pops back into shape. The shade should be as good as new.

It is a swing arm. As configured, it swung the opposite direction I wanted it to. So I simply rotated the lamp assembly 180 degrees when I installed it. That solved the problem. Prior to my purchase, I had read some complaints of instability. My experience is the opposite. I am very well pleased.

I struggled with it too (all pieces are heavy). My solution was, instead of trying to screw the poll in, I kept the poll steady and span the marble base the opposite way which snapped on pretty easy. Getting help from someone else should make it easier too. Hope this helps.

I bolted a 2x4 to the non-movable frame of my tilting drafting table, and then clamped the lamp to that. That works OK. If it were attached to the movable table top, raising or lowering the top could unbalance the lamp.

The stand is fixed, it does not swivel. You have most likely put it together correctly.

The head looks like it is detached. It is so to enable its free rotation. If it does not move see if you took off the thin plastic film that covers the photoelectric panel or/and expose it to direct sun light. If it still does not move it might be a fault product.

mine doesn't adjust, it is set to the tallest. When I try to lower it, nothing moves? Does anyone know why? Thank you

Not really. The lengthened dome on top clicks into the base and actually acts as a button (bop it on top to turn it on/off or access other functions). Best you could probably do is throw some cloth over the top. The dome acts as a nice shade though if quality of light is more important than aesthetics.

Mine is wobbly too but I think it's built that way in order for it to spin smoothly. I don't think it's an issue when it's filled with cupcakes.

Good morning, I have installed (2) of their fixtures and did not notice any flimsiness. I also installed a 4 globe version without a hitch. All our visitors during the holidays liked they way they look.
