My mirror is two years old and just quit, so I ordered new bulbs for it and that is not the problem. Anyone, have this problem besides me?

I have not changed my as yet, the following is the instructions from the instruction book, good luck. Lower the mirror to its most flat position. Use a credit card to remove the lens cover. Remove bulb by pushing away from the bulb socket. Install new bulb by aligning the pins with the socket, push bulb into socket. a click should be heard

I don't see how it could be the fixture. I have had 3 bulbs quit, all in different fixtures. When another bulb was put in the fixtures, they all worked, and are still working. But I made a mistake, and couldn't seem to correct it. The bulbs I had fail were not the daylight bulbs, but the warm white bulbs.

So, mine has started doing the same thing. It has been months since I replaced mine and it is just now flickering. My guess is that the bulb is just cheaply made and not a true Factory bulb. For as cheap as the bulb was I wouldn't expect much over a year out of it but the flickering is pretty annoying. I don't know of a fix other than getting a new bulb.

I purchased replacement bulbs by going to the auto parts store and bringing the old bulb. The clerk picked out Sylvania 57LL. These 2 per package were almost as bright as the original and also I went on Ebay and searched for bulb replacements for this type of lighted mirror. I located similiar bulbs that came with the mirror. They are labeled CM 55. I think Amazon also sells the replacement bulbs. Hope this helps.

Mine did the same thing, turned off randomly. Sometimes would stay on with no problem. I replaced the bulb with a genuine OEM bulb from Phillips and the problem stopped. The bulbs they sell are not oem as I can tell from when I got the oem part they have differences. Mine starting going out a couple months from purchase just like yours.

Good luck! I thought my bulb was bad and finally found one at Bed Bath & Beyond. It cost about $20. I replaced it and the light still did not work! The store would not refund the bulb. I finally trashed the mirror and bought a Conair model.

Have you checked for a loose wire? I would say buy another bulb maybe you have a faulty bulb. Have not had any problems with mine. Everyone who sees it for the first time is very impressed!

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

I have had my mirror for at least 8 years and have never had to replace the bulb. You can go to www.thefind.com and search for Floxite replacement bulbs. They have a large assortment of vendors listed that carry the bulbs. Hope this helps!

COntact the store you purchased the bulbs through. THey should be able to replace them. If that doesn't work, contact Amazon to see what they recommend.

I replaced my bulbs after eight years of use. They are available on Amazon in a 2-pack for 6.95. Search for "Jerdon JPT25W 25-watt replacement bulb for lighted mirrors." This mirror has been great and yes, the bulbs are easy to replace.

Very strange. The same thing happened to me. You can get a replacement bulb pretty cheap at the big box stores. Was easy to replace. However be careful. When I first set it up, the bulbs got so hot that it burned a hole in the side of the box.

mine is also that vintage - same bulbs as indicated - The less expensive bulbs don't seem to last - I've had a couple that didn't last 2 weeks - fortunately the let place I bought them refunded my complete order when I complained- vey good! I'm trying the new LED bulbs to see if their lifetime is better. I bought the suction cup to unscrew the bulb a long time back - Almost any hardware store should have something similar - a cup holder with suction cup sounds about the right size. Caution - for a blown bulb, sometimes the suction cup simply pulls the glass from the front of the bulb - need a part of needle node pliers to get the bulb out if this happens.
