suction cup will not stick to bulb

Make sure both the suction cup and flood light are clean. The suction cup does not really need to stick to the flood, it just needs remove flood with a little pressure.

Not sure what the question is, but I agree: it doesn't. The "grabber" style bulb holder works better.

my husband cleans chandeliers & is often asked to change bulbs in ceilings or outdoors. unfortunately, not all flood bulbs are the same. if you have purchased only the yellow cup, you may want to get the other colors/sizes. he just keeps switching out the suction cups till he finds the one that works..........and one of these will fit. (the complete set contains yellow, red & blue)

Mine also has a problem staying on when it shouldn't be. My bulbs burned out within 2 months. I wouldn't buy another. It's a China Cheapie!

The sticky coating is silicon rubber. If the bulb glass shatters it will be held together safely by the coating instead of spreading glass everywhere. The coating feels creepy but it is a good thing.

Yes. The wires need to be bent back against the sides of the bulb so they make contact with the bulb holder pieces.

make sure that both ends are making good contact With the mounting points, also don't touch glass of the bulb directly as the oil in the skin will cause the bulb to burn out very quickly

Hi. I just went in and removed the bulb to make sure. First unscrew the cover over the bulb. Next you have to have strong fingers but push the bulb and turn it until you feel it loosen up. It does not completely unscrew out of the socket. When you feel it's loose turn the unit upside down and the bulb should fall out. Once this happens you will see how the bulb is held in the socket. Hope this helps.

There's no suction cups for these lights. And they suck too lol not bright at all waste of your money. Email me I can't point you in the right direction for the right lights dieselsmoke617@ Gmail.com

It's smaller than the socket. I put mine on top of the socket so it will take any size bulb. Hope this helps. PS: it is to small to screw onto the socket itself.

The angle piece of the shield comes off. The way the suction cup mount is made the light won't work on flat glass.

Not really. The suction cup(s) associated with the device won't hold the bulb without the vacuum pump. Weak point of failure with unit is the port from the vacuum pump that fits into the suction cup. That port is sort of like a needle on a air pump for filling a basketball but made out of plastic and easily broken.

I just had to replace the bulb yesterday! My cover pulled off very easily...just need to squeeze the cover a bit to one side and pop out the tab that holds it up there...I'd suggest trying a flat screwdriver if it isn't coming open, though be gentle with the screwdriver. Good luck.

Grasp the base and pull it out. Push the new bulb into the socket ... Be sure to push on the base, not the glass.

I use the window suction cup mount as I knew the adhesive would not hold. I suggest going to a hardware store and buying a more adhesive tape and cut to size.

Ours locks to the window so either your suction cup is defective which could be checked by trying to lock it on a flat window or your windshield is curved or has some kind of coating on it like an antifoging agent.

Actually those were the only thing it seems to be good at. The suction cup had no trouble gripping the small, flat Philips Slim 65watt eqivalent 9.5watt leds. But regular bulbs it either wouldnt stick to, or in the rare case if it did it dropped the bulb on my head when it came out of the socket.

Make sure you clean the area you are applying the suction cups to with rubbing alcohol. Then apply a small amount of olive oil to the cups. They should stick forever!

Its probably not the diode or bulb, it's probably the driver or power supply. U probably will have to replace the fixture.
