This question is for people who replaced the 190 watt bulb with a 300 watt: did you put back the glass protector that sits directly over the bulb?

Yes I did, but only loosely. The design to screw everything together is very difficult to make work. It is not designed for the end user. This does represent some risk. If the lamp tips over and remains on, there is some chance of fire in the worst possible case. I should also mention that I bought 4 lamps and one of the dimmer switches went out on me immediately. I had a spare that I had previously bought and I replaced the dimmer and the lamp is now working fine.

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws.Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

No the total wattage is not 100 watts...max wattage is 100 watts per bulb for 300 watts max

I haven't tried to cover mine, but maybe the glass ones that you fit on the light where the bulb goes into to light cover and then you screw both light and cover into outlet.Sorry couldn't help more.

I will be very honest with you, this unit I got, the UV light shorted out or burned out. But they replaced the whole unit for me. However, I did not get the same one with the UV in it. So I have never replaced the bulb! I had no problems with the company & recieving my replacement filter. I don't know if this helped you or not.

I put a higher watt bulb in it than the "broken" one that it came with. I didn't go too big, but a step up from the original. Still not real bright, but does better, the higher you can place it, as mine gives off more colored light from the sides than it does the top.

you are ok w/ respect to wattage; however, plse bear in mind that this is a very large bulb and bulb needs wide fixture & room "to breathe" for best function; also make sure that shade is wide enough for this bulb's dimensions with extra room "to breathe"......

A 40 watt worked for me -- and I like dim lights to preserve the rods in my eyes. So, you must have a dud if the bulb is tightly screwed and there isn't any packaging blocking the electrical connection. My lamp was packed in a messy kind of paper and I used compressed air to blow all the gunk out of the socket.

I just had to replace the bulb yesterday! My cover pulled off very easily...just need to squeeze the cover a bit to one side and pop out the tab that holds it up there...I'd suggest trying a flat screwdriver if it isn't coming open, though be gentle with the screwdriver. Good luck.

Kerry, I ordered another as back up and have yet to install the mirror. Bulb life obviously a factor of use not so much of calendar time which is why I bought the spare. I guess its one of those deals where I'll just find out with that first bulb, scold my wife and hope the second lasts longer. :-)

I haven't. But You can use any bulb that you prefer as long as it fits with the base, the fixture's dimension and the maximum wattage allowed. What I use for this one is actually a globe bulb. I love it because the lighting is very pleasing in the eyes. Bright yet cozy. Plus, it's really durable and high quality. Hope it helps!

Please see Mike H's answer- I purchased the bulbs for the same reasons, however once installed my light fixture glass cover would not fit over the bulbs (bulbs are too big)

My experience is that if you put a higher watt bulb in you run the risk of damaging the lamp. I would stick with the two 35 watt bulbs.

It is not going to get any brighter and a larger watt bulb will generate too much heat. The lens is opaque and limits the brightness of the light. Replace the dark plastic lens with a cut piece from Home Depot that allows more light to pass through.
