I gave the salt lamp as a gift. The recipient enjoyed the lamp, however, the lights are now strobing. Is there a solution to this problem?

Mine did the same thing. Can you unscrew the bottom and check and see if the bulb is screwed on tightly? Otherwise, I'd check with the seller.

You may need to tighten the bulb. Make sure the wattage doesn't exceed the watts recommended by the manufacturer. You might try replacing the bulb. I hope this helps. If not then contact seller.

Actually, I got mine at our local hardware and it was just the flashlight, no box or even instructions. Which brings me to my question, anybody know how to make it strobe? I've played with everything so far and no luck.

That happened to me about a month ago. Amazon was great and advice me to return the defective product. I bought a different brand of lamp now and it's been working great. Good luck.

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 this lamp for a few months & have not experienced the problem that you mention. I have unplugged it on occasion & no problem when plugging it back in. When I saw your note I unplugged the lamp & then plugged it back in & it went right on.

I have the same problem with the florescent bulb in the magnifying lamp I purchased from HD. The very first time I tunred it on it blew. Not sure if it's the ballast or the bub but a replacement t5 6400 K 210V 22W is impossible to locate. That's why I'm here shopping for a LED magnifying lamp, lol.

If the light from the halogen oven is not coming on then the lamp needs replaced.If the light is coming on, check your temperature gauge and make sure you pre-heat it just like a oven.It is really a healthy way of eating and your food will taste better.

My guess is you got a defective one. They are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so it wouldn't be a long shot if you ended up getting one that was malfunctioning the way you are describing. My advice is to just send it back to Amazon so they can replace it with another one. I know it's an inconvenience, but in the end, you'll be glad you did. It's a great light, especially when it works the way it's supposed to.

The wires inside the base were not properly grounded and were touching the metal. The problem occurs when the light is twisted into place. I re-grounded the wire and capped it off. Its worked perfectly since.

I had the same problem. Bought mine through a different source who send me a new AC adapter (the part of the cord which plugs into the wall). Light works perfectly now.

Maybe you need to turn the pipe around. As for the lamp not working, mine did not work either. So it was money in the drain. Complained about it, but never received a reply.

The bulbs inside the lamp are not fixed firmly. They are attached to a spring which is inserted into the actual space in the salt then it expands. One of them had completely come out when I received them. I have bought this kind of lamp before and the chord coming out of the lamp is securely attached to the base which hold the whole thing safely. I think these lamps are not safe

I would contact customer service. The one I bought was fine so I really have not had this particular issue. However many have told mr their customer service is outstading at Amazon. The chandelier is beautiful once you get yours up you will be happy, so don't give up on this one. Perhaps you can get a replacement even. Hope you get this resolved soon and enjoy your light.

Same thing happened to mine. I ordered a replacement sensor - called a TOUCH LIGHT SENSOR by OK Lighting from Amazon (Prime). It's the same thing that is in the base of the lamp now. I'm only going to try one replacement sensor because I read that these touch lamps should not be left on all the time. I was using it for a lamp during the day and a night light at night so I guess I wore it out (in only a little over a month)!!!!! I really like the lamp and it will be a shame to have to trash it !!!!!

No. It's not the bulbs. It's the base. For some reason it shorts out. I've found it happens if you generate static shock while touching the lamp.my initial 2 went out with in weeks. (I bought 2) just had a replacement go out last week. So will be calling for a replacement again.

Mine was a little wet. Salt in the earth is frequently damp, but mine dried out. I did research your question and found a solution on this link. Make sure to take the electrical parts off and watch the salt globe carefully. http://www.healingcrystals.com/My_Salt_Lamp_sweats_-_What_can_I_do__Articles_205.htmlHope this helps!

I had the same issue. Turns out one of the switches was the kind that glow when the power is off so you can see it in the dark. These allow a small amount of energy through causing the lights to flash. Replace the switch with a normal on/off and you should be good to go.
