3-way bulb burned out immediately. Tried another and it happened again. Anyone have an idea of why this would happen?

This isn't a 3-way bulb, but sounds like your lamp might have some problems.

My guess would be the bulb is bad.It's easy to replace but you may want to call a local tv repair place if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself

Sounds like you may have gotten a bad bulb. Contact iPower customer service and they will send you another one. My bulb was also damaged in shipping and I called them and they sent me another one. If that is not the issue their customer service will fix it.

Try replacing just the first light bulb that's out at the point at which the rest of the string doesn't work. It might be blown and not able let the current flow to the rest of the bulbs.

I've had the same problem, and just got a bulb from Flukers. I've only had it a few days, but so far, so good.

This sounds like a problem with the bulb, or a loose connection. First, I would try removing the bulb from the socket and re-installing, just to see if the bulb might be loose. Next I would try a new bulb. If neither of those work, someone with electrical knowledge will have to check wiring and solder joints.

Okay, I've been asked to review this item several times... and this is the first I've heard of this. I'm pretty sure, mine warmed up right away. It sounds like you need to check to see if the light bulb is screwed in all the way so it's making a connection. If not, I would exchange the light bulb... keep the other light bulb until you make sure if the replacement light bulb does the same thing because it could be the lamp itself.

Same thing happened to mine. Waste of money, lamp was useless, threw it away

I've noticed mine does not start up very well. Twist the bulb as if removing and then reinstall. It won't start immediately. Also, the indicator is not an LED like it looks, just a lens to the inside. Turn of the lights or shield ambient light, it might be on, you just can see it.

Might be from dust that is getting burnt from the heat of the new bulb. Try some compressed air to blow the dust out.

If you find out let me know, mine is junk too. Just plug it in and use it that way till bulbs burn out?

I'm not sure if they have fuses but I suspect that the end wire may be faulty. Try removing the connector to the outlet, then reinstall it. If that doesnt restore connectivity, try replacing the connector. I seriously doubt that all the bulbs could be faulty or blown. I've had these type of lights installed for years without a hitch... Good Luck!

Check and see if bulb is loose. Try another outlet.(in wall). Those fail, exchange most diffently

I actually had not even installed the dimmer before - just a regular 2 way switch. Bulb burned out anyway.

I did the same thing and ended up buying a new lamp from ebay. This time I bought one with an actual on/off switch only $25, it uses the same bulb so now I have 3 bulbs. I also left a review on amazon about my experience.

It sounds like either a bad connection, or there's a problem with the rheostat. I would unplug the unit, remove the bulb and try to reseat it. If that doesn't work, try a different bulb. If that doesn't work, try leaving the light on at half strength and see what happens.

i received my package a day or so ago & one of the lights instantly overheated & stopped working. the other one works OK but the bulb seems very dim. is it possible for you to replace the broken piece?
