You have conflicting customer reviews. One says that they are metal and one says the bulb is not replaceable. What is correct? I would like to know

The bulb is replaceable. I replaced the 55 watt bulbs with 130 watt bulbs. I can't remember if they are a really hard plastic or a metal alloy. I know the mounting bracket is metal, not sure about the black casing.

From my experience with these lights, the bulbs last a long time. Possibly years. During that time, the price has dropped considerably. I have no regards. I've cut my electric bill considerably. Prices have come down 75% since I bought these lights. At today's prices, I'd probably replace the whole light. We have four of these units, with multi lights and nothing has burned out. I originally had your same concerns, but after almost 2 years, I can say, I'm happy.I hope you find this answer helpful.

They are decorative bulbs which came with the lamps. 2 were broken, company was not able to keep their promise and send more. So, I will have to pick some up at the hardware store & at that time I will learn the wattage.

the bulb is under the metal shade !! it either looks like a "u" or 3 bulbs connected together. There should be a number on the base or on the bulb and the bulb can be purchased from Amazon !

They are spot lamps. If you install them you need to make sure that they get enough air to stay cool otherwise they will run themselves hot and break. I do not recommend those as I had purchased about ten- 60% are broke at this point of time. tnx regards//phil

The box and the limited documentation give little clue. I took box to a few hardware stores. they did not have it, but I am told bulb last a very long time. Try the manufactures website and see if they have a contact us section.

Yes they are. However, after I purchased the bulbs, I've experienced over a 50% failure rate of the bulbs making them almost as costly as buying them locally. Therefore, I would no longer recommend them.

I am not sure if they have a warranty. I will imagine so if there is something wrong when they arrive. I have purchased a few and have not have any problems with them. They could last over a year, depending on the viewers habits, of course. Initially, these bulb were kind of expensive but now I think they are fairly priced. I keep an extra one as a spare because sometimes they blow without warning (just like any bulb).

By the time they burn out (they are solid state - no delicate filament in a vacuum) the bulb, and you, will be ready to be thrown out!! You an always buy another one at that time if you still need it. If faulty, return for a refund.

The manufacturer has told me that this lamp has a 2 prong unit, and that the material surrounding the bulb is metal, however there is a plastic lens cover. If you have any additional questions feel free to contact me at any time. Thanks!Chris

I havent had any issues with the one I purchased, but I know that you are not supposed to get them wet. You may want to check and see if the bulb needs to be replaced

I decided we needed an answer to your question, so I called the Carson people. (Carson.com for the phone number). Since the bulbs are LED's, they are expected to last for many years, so you can't replace them. However, should they burn out "prematurely" (time not specified) , Carson will work with you on it, according to the lady who answered their phone today. The way everybody describes LED bulbs, our lamps will probably last longer than I will.

Exactly. Here's my problem buying bulbs online.....you get what you get. Those bulbs are mostly filament. Consider getting them at Home Depot unless you get a great warranty.

No, the bulbs are not replaceable. When they burn out, you have to replace the whole thing.

Does anyone know if the bulb in this set is replaceable by the owner, or is service needed? Thanks.

Hi Greg --They're incandescents, actually the same bulb as in most nightlights. They are a bit of pain to replace, especially for the more hamfisted of us. Overall, however, it's an excellent unit.Ted Q.

It's hard to tell, but the ones I got are still working. My experience has been with these kind of bulbs has been pretty good. In this case I use them in a kitchen under corner light feature and they are going strong. I also use them in a work light in the garage and work well but are very sensitive to shaking.. dropping a work light on the floor usually breaks the bulb. They run very hot so be careful of using lite weight plastic covers. Hope this helps. Jim
