Reflector stops working with humidity buildup. Can this be fixed?

Electrical problem? Or water build up? If water build up try some "RainX" (at auto partsstore)...

Maybe alignment is weak. I live in very humid area with very very heavy fog and the unit works well even when it is dripping with water. My biggest problem is night insects crawling on the transmitter and causing false alarms so I installed the transmitter inside a blue electrical box and placed a moth ball in the box. Replace the moth ball when false alarms start again.

Call Sunbeam..mine has worked for years......it has a 1 year warranty--I think? They should offer another one if stopped before the Year was up!Good Luck--they are great!

I've had mine outside for almost a year now. I placed an empty Glad bag over the antennae and tied it with electrical tape. No issues with moisture so far.

I just looked at the box and there isn't any warranty info, so hopefully I won't have any issues. I haven't used mine yet, but plan to in the next couple of weeks. I don't know this for a fact, but I would think that the high humidity might corrode the contact points for the lamps.

One of mine flickered in a way that wasn't dizzying, but was unpredictable. My cure was a little dab of Vaseline on the contacts. It has worked so far. If you're young with good vision, you may be noticing the 60Hz fluctuation of house current. In my family I'm the only one who sees it. There is no easy cure for that.

The only thing you can do is keep it clean with the cleaner they sell. Outside of that, if it quits misting, there's usually not much you can do or replace yourself! Kinda sucks because I know they fail for no good reason, but it's my favorite humidifier when it works! You may try reseating the water container into the base unit and or jarring it a little bit to see if something is stuck. I wouldn't attempt to dis-assemble it. Messing with water and electricity is dangerous.

I havent had moisture problems, these lights look and work great. I guess if u want to enforce the seal with something as a precaution, u can try some type of sealant.

All the lights different lights I am using from MicroSolar have been sitting in the rain without issues. I am in Southern Califorrnia and it doesn't rain much here.

The lens reflector in the ophthalmoloscope might be bent downwards. Try sticking in a toothpick and jiggling it around. It's quite irritating actually. You might want to contact the vendor for a replacement if all else fails.

My remote doesn't work well either. Hit adn miss as to if the humidifier receives the signal even with direct line of sight. It frequently registers an entirely different humidity than the humidifier, even when set on top of the humidifier for "calibration". I wouldn't bother with the remote - get some exercise, walk over and adjust the fan or shutoff humidity.

Hey, I found in RadioShack, just make sure to take the projector to check the watts, etc. Hope it helps.! :D

I found the following light bulb, which appears might do the trick: http://www.elightbulbs.com/Halco-09104-R14INT25-R14-Reflector-Flood-Spot-Light-Bulb&source;=GoogleBaseCSE?gclid=CO2u9aOpwsMCFW5o7Aod0TcA9g. Good luck!

YES! I am having the same problem. I had it sitting on my wood floor and it almost ruined it. I didn't realize it was sweating water. It is frustrating to have to keep removing the water underneath the lamp. It "sweats" all the time.....weather on or off. I live in Florida, so wonder if these lamps are not good for those living in a humid state.

First check batteries. If OK check for moisture in the light. I have on on my fifth wheel and if it rains hard it will quit but dry it out and it is ok. I have had one on my porch for 2 years stillworking.

It would do that for me as well when there wasn't enough water in the reservoir or if the canister and top weren't totally locked onto the base. I also remember reading reviews where some of them had glitches that caused the lights to flash and it wouldn't turn on. I would contact the manufacturer!

I spliced the wire into an existing low voltage line and double heat-shrinked the connections, since I used it submerged in a koi pond. The light worked fine for a while, but quit. When I pulled it out it had water in it. I added a bunch of silicone around the wire and let it cure. Also replaced the bulb and tried it again. Same result, it quit working after a short period. I think it's leaking around the lense. The o-ring doesn't seem very resilient and appears to have relaxed against the glass. If you are using it around a pond, not in it, it might be okay.
