What sort of rubber is the bulb made of? I will be storing an acid in the bottle. It can't be natural rubber bulbs... nitrile or N-Butyl is fine.

I would assume N-Butyl but it's not stamped at all. I use mine for PH down acid, and H202 and have zero problems. They seem lab quality not cheapos at all. 1 year of daily use works and seals like day 1.

I would look on Piaa ' s website for the right bulb for your car.. DO NOT Touch the bulbs with your bare hands! Wear a new pair of rubber gloves and make sure it doesn't touch anything with grease.. If you use your bare hands the bulb will last 1-3 months compared 1-3 years!

It is a very small, probably halogen bulb. The kind you could probably get at a big box store, or certainly through a lamp specialty store or on-line. This is a great looking fixture (I have bought 3) especially considering the cost (there are similar fixtures selling for 3-4x this). The shade is fragile and cannot be individually replaced.

Thanks Bob. I just don't like throwing it away since the bulbs are still good and will last for a very long time.

I think it is some type of synthetic material that is a substitute for rubber. We are pleased with the product.

It is, I believe a halogen. I have very good success with 1000bulbs.com I order all the bulbs I use in my business from them and they are comparatively less expensive.

I think rubber but can't be sure. Sorry. Great product, reusable, very durable.

The specs certainly aren't much help and any directions that came with my unit are long gone. As I remember there is a rubber gasket to seal the unit from moisture. And you could certainly wrap a bit of duct tape around the opening between the bulb and base or some silicone sealer would also work.

Always wear a glove or use a cloth when handling the bulbs itself. I've been told any residue from your hands (dirt, sweat, oils...) can stain & leave "hot spots" on the bulb itself & lessen their longevity. Another factor is that bulbs have a different rating for various countries. For example I've ordered Amazon bulbs directly from the U.S only to have them shorten out within minutes because of the difference in volts.

The shade is made out of plastic but it is not crapy plastic. It has metal fasteners. The lamps do get warm so don't put anything higher than 40 watt light bulbs. I had mine about a year now and its still like new.

I am a nail technician who specializes in artificial nails and have been using this product for about 10 years. 2 min is the recommended cure time for this product. First off I have a couple of questions regarding use for troubleshooting purposes. What type of nail are you applying to? This product is for artificial nails (ie. acrylics and permanent uv gel nails) only as a acetone proof finish coating and not for use as a coating for natural nails or for use for gel manicure products. There are other products out there that are for natural nail use that are better for sealing nail polish and are made to be compatible with traditional nail polish that stay for almost 3 weeks! What type of uv lamp and bulb wattage are you using? And more important how old are the bulbs. Best uv bulb wattage is the 4- 9 watt uv lamps. Also note this isn't a product that is compatable with " at home uv lamps or LED lamps. Hope to help you. Sounds from your post you are applying to something that the product isn't made for. Cracking comes from improper use and normally comes from placing it on top of nail polish and or as a nail strengthener which it isn't made for and doesn't have the flexibility that natural nails have. Other products on the market for application as a nail polish sealer have a little more flexibility and won't crack.

Regarding the "ozone" concern.....the company states the following:"No ozoneA specially designed UV-C light bulb is used so no ozone is produced. The UV-C light bulb (model LB1000) needs to be replaced every six to eight months depending on use."I personally had one and loved it. Ran smoothly!

It's just the shape of the bulb itself. It's a twisted fluorescent tube. It's about the same size as a regular light bulb.

Sorry, no idea at all. I should have thought of that but I assume this kind of bulb lasts for a long time

Standard should work BUT the heat of the bulb melted the plastic...not good.

I was filling mine with 8oz of water and Betadine which filled it up but as you get to the bottom of the liquid you do have to really squeeze the bulb. It didn't bother me as much because I had already used most of my solution anyway. I felt it got the job done and was easy to clean. Also not very big which is nice. Try filling it all the way up and just keep squeezing without letting too much air in. Hope this helps :)
