Will this work on the newer bulbs that have a textured finish? My suction cup changer wont work on the new bulbs. How is this different ?

I have not tried this device on the newer "twist" type bulbs; however, it has worked on all sizes of floodlights and conventional bulbs. As for the newer textured finished bulbs, I have not had the opportunity to test this device on them.

I doubt this will work on textured bulbs, as it relies on suction to remove/replace the bulb. They texture won't allow a good seal.

The type of bulb won't effect the switch but led bulbs are polarized only work in one direction. If they are blade type bulbs flip them around if they are round socket you don't have to worry as long as the contact is positive and casing negative. Please message back if that doesn't solve the problem.

If your OEM replacement bulb (look in owners manual) calls for a 921 style bulb, yes it will work just fine .... The Silverstar series is physically no different than the OEM equivalent ... Just brighter .... the caveat is that they will burn out a little quicker than the OEM bulb ..... I just incase you're thinking the light will be blue in color, it will not ... It is bright white .....

Works fine with LED bulbs but it increases the length of the bulb by a good bit so you need to make sure both the bulb and the adapter will fit. I didn't realize that and it would not work for my light fixture so I actually replaced the fixture for one that accepts regular screw on bulbs so I don't have to bother with the adapter or buying bulbs with the odd connector pins.

The BR30 is approximately 3.75 inches (according to specs, I don't have one) the same as a PAR30. I have lots of PAR30's and the Bulb Changer (measures 2.5 inches) works fine on those, however if the surface of the bulb is crinkly (not a technical term) such as in some outdoor bulbs, you may have a problem. The little suction cups on the Bulb Changer work best on smooth surfaces. I hope this helps.

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

we had the same problem - just a hair too long for where it needed to go. wound up cleaning the old one well, and discovered it still worked! still is! the #s on both bulbs were the same. I don't get it.

I returned the item because its finish didn't match my other bathroom fixture finish. But all ball joint mount design should allow you to move up/down and sideways. Remember the ball joint is a pivot point, all movement is limited especially sideways more than up/down. Hope this helps.

The 18w R bulb does not fit the older floor lamps. I ended up breaking my lamp to try and fix it. Take your lamp to a lighting store that will help you

As far as I know, they didn't change the bulb type from the '12 to '13 model. You are good to go.

This item will use the same bulbs.Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Briana

I broke one of them by pushing it in instead of sliding in the space. The second one works perfect though. You have to hold the bulb with some paper towel or glove to make sure no contact happens. Then just slide it in one end and kind of fit it on the other end.

Extremely easy fix and totally worth it. Totally recommend it... 2 things..1. Don't touch the bulb there's a handle on it grab that to handle it properly. .. 2. YouTube the fix if you're not 100% how to change it.

I didn't like the look of the bulbs that came with it (and two were broken anyway :-( so I went to Home Depot and found some clear bulbs with the small screw part and they fit, no problem. I would look at Home Depot or Lowe's. Hope that helps.

This was my 2nd replacement bulb in 7 years and I am ordering a third today. I tried using the housing unit that came with this bulb and was unable to get it to seat properly. One of the "tabs" did not line up. It was easier for me to use the original housing and transfer this new bulb. It is very easy to do. Not sure about ordering just a bulb alone, this is what worked for me. Good Luck.
