I ordered one of these and a 8 inch as well. Installed both of them, the light does not come on. Both of these bulbs have a rattle noise when you shak

Hi Jim, sounds like the bulbs have manufacturing defects. I did not have any rattles in the ones I ordered, I have ordered 10 so far and have replaced 3 old units with these new ones. I suspect the rattle is caused by the filament assemblies coming loose from their bases. The filaments are used to start the gas reaction that causes the bulb coatings to glow. The bulbs will not light without intact filament assemblies. I recommend returning the bulbs for replacement.

Well there was a little bit of rattle on mine I think but didnt have a problem turning on... yours may simply have not survived shipping or even been a bad egg from the manuf.? That or your balast (sp?) doesnt work...

Both of the ones that I ordered did the same thing. The light did work though. You could have a bad ballast or even a light switch.

0 inchs on my fixtures. My exterior light fixtures had a small ballast of approximately the same size. Check yours, they have two lock tabs that slide down and then can be removed the same as the bulb.

Hi, sorry you're having a problem but I'm a customer, not the dealer. The light I purchased is working fine. Maybe somewhere during the shipping process the light was dropped. The bulbs in them are very sensitive to impact. I use replacement bulbs from Lowe's whereas buying from an electronics store tends to be pricey. Good Luck

There should be a manual in the box describing the lights, if you have not got this manual you should receive a link to it very soon via email, as this is set up as a standard procedure. If not do contact me via a mail where I can submit an attachment as I cannot do it via Amazons email - you can send me an email via our lemikdk dot com site. The rattling sounds like an error so do ask Amazon to replace this item or again send us a mail via lemikdk.

Mine arrived with a broken bulb as well (boo!). I've been unable to find a bulb locally, and when they had them on amazon.com they cost as much as the lamp. This seems to be a thing with this company.

Not that I am qualified to answer an issue like this (I did not make it) but if it happened to me, I'd arrange for a return - the bulbs are fantastic though my 2 are still going strong! Try to get a refund - don't take a chance with faulty lighting - it could cost $$$ in the long run.

I would have no idea. That's something Amazon should answer.Did you try a new bulb I bought an extra bulb for each of the 2 lamps I bought.Bill

Mine came on immediately. The full brightness of the light takes a few minutes to reach. Something is wrong either with your lamp or the bulb. Petco carries the bulbs so you might try that first. My birds love their lamp especially in the SE Alaska climate.

Some of the brighest LED bulbs are very large and won't fit in certain enclosures. I've just added a customer image showing exactly this scenario. It should be visible above soon.

I still use the same bulb and usually have no problem with them. Having one last for 3 months was unusual but that could happen, I was more disappointed about the second bulb not working at all. If you purchase them you should test both bulbs once received.

send it back for a refund. You need both prongs in order for the bulb to work. :) Hope this helps.

It could be a bad bulb. Sometimes they get knocked around in shipping and the circuit opens. Have you checked other bulbs in the same lamp? Also make sure the lamp is plugged in (I know it's silly but you'd be surprised at how often that is the problem).If the bulb is actually damaged, which you can usually tell by jiggling it and listening for a rattle or by inserting it into another socket and testing, just return it to Amazon through http://www.amazon.com/returns

1. Try a different outlet.2 take one of the bulbs and inspect it, if it rattles then its broken.3. Make sure the bulbs are connect properly.It could be the switch is defective.Contact seller.

Mine worked fine. Maybe its the light bulb that needs to be replaced. I don't know how to do that. Return it if you can.

Looks like you got your information below. For us, the product arrived with the light broken due to bad packaging. We returned the entire item and received our replacement. New bulb not needed as of yet.

Try these in a reflector lamp. Cheaper. There is also a one inch extension if it is too short. Get them a home center and return if they don't work. CFLs are dim. I like to double up. 10-Pack E26/E27 Light Socket Splitter Adapter - Y Socket (makes 2 sockets for E26 bulbs from one bulb socket)
