Has anyone replaced UV light bulb on this model? if so where did you purchase it? I see it is MLP-P04 in its manual, but no contacts.

Have not replaced bulb yet. Mine is due for new filters after 1 yr use. So far it works great! Let me know where you find it - I'm at toddcruiser at y a h o o (the yellow smiles place). Good luck on search. I would suggest taking it by a small electronics repair shop in your city. They are good at finding rare tubes, bulbs, etc.

The place where I bought the UV light from did at one time sell replacement bulbs. You'll have to contact the site to see if they still do

look for 36-watt UV bulb with a 2g -11 base just put that into the amazon search bar and the re-sellers of replacement bulbs come up. I tried to get a spare from Air-care corp. Unfortunately they were non responsive.

Hi Suzanne, Make sure you buy a chandelier replacement bulb. Regular round bulbs wouldn't work in mine. If not, the socket where the dial is might have a short. It probably isn't worth getting a repair since you can just buy another one for around $30. By the way, how long have you had the lamp?

After using mine for about a month I also noticed the same thing and had this same question. It was like that right out of the box. After researching the manufacturers website about this product it became clear that the red light means a burnt out UV bulb. The bulb cost as much as the whole filter and was not available so I trashed the whole filter. This is clearly not a quality product. Check www.aa-aquarium.com and see what you can find out.

I am no expert by any means but that's what my old one was doing before I installed the new one. They say not to touch the bulb. Did u try reinstalling it? Maybe u got a defective one, I don't know. Maybe blow some air in there to remove some dust? Again I'm not an expert, but for me no issues.

I would encourage you to keep trying to speak with a representative. Some days seemed busier than others but I was finally able to discuss with one of their employees. Because my lamp had an '(E)' near the model number apparently determines that it is an electronic model. I don't know why they would make this so confusing.

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.

Mine lasted less than three months. I got hold of the company via the computer. Fortunately, I had just bought the unit from Wal-Mart. They had me send the new unit to them (they did reimburse me for the UPS charge). The new unit lasted all last summer and I have two months use this year. I know a replacement bulb is $19.99 at Ace Hardware. I would 'bitch and moan' to Stinger. I even tried filing a complaint with the Consumer Safety Commission, but, unless I can prove the unit is unsafe, nothing can be done. I complained to the Better Business Bureau - never heard from them. I went to the Federal Trade Commission's website - their reply was 'don't buy a Stinger.' A friend of mine is an electrician and he said the Chinese transformer in the unit is not quality - it can surge and burn out the bulb. I've also written Wal-Mart who sells a couple of different models of the Stinger, but they're still pices of crap. Good luck.

Hi Alice,my name is Robert, nice to meet you. Please tell me if you are replacing the bulb or the actual product?

The bulb CAN be replaced. I leave my unit on all of the time as it also makes a great nightlight, but that also means I have to replace the bulb that much more often. It takes a 15 watt bulb that I've purchased at Hobby Lobby, Target, and WalMart. I initially tried the regular 4 watt nightlight bulb, but it didn't get warm enough to heat and melt the wax so make sure it's a 15 watt. Good Luck!!

I do not have the manual with me currently-but I believe the light will give you a warning if something is wrong. Your best bet is to google trojan uv max for the manual and check yourself. There are other models with more "bells and whistles" on them too. Personally, I have ordered my annual uv light replacement. I will wait until the old one fails. The uv system I have is basic-only has 2 lights for monitoring, no counter on it. Good luck!

This was a gift for my grandson. I don't know if they have tried replacing the bulb or not. If another person is having problems with it too, I wouldn't purchase it.

The recommendation on UV bulbs is to replace after 1 yr. That is what I did. The bulb did not burn out in the 1 yr time, but it is no longer very effective at 1 yr.

my reply is I need to get one also but 42 W 4-quad bulb since I zapped mine with electro static discharge last night. the company you deal with should be able to give you the right replacement for the number you give him. look around if amazon can't help go to Full spectrum or a store near you that sells different type of bulbs. even Amazon should have replacement book to look it up.
