I just received this lamp. When I plugged it in, the light comes on, but when I touch the base or stem, it doesn't turn off! Any ideas?

Might be a good question for the manufacturer as I haven't had that issue. Sorry!

I've got my lamp pluged into an electrical strip, and with each touch to the base, it gets brighter till the 4th touch and it turns off. Your lamp should should turn off with the 4th touch, if not, could be defective.

Sounds like yours is either faulty or doesn't have the right bulb installed. Mine is super sensitive and I barely have to brush it for it to change levels and turn on and off.

What type of bulb are you using? The lamp works best with regular incandescent or the newest dimmable LED bulbs. CFL's are not compatible with this lamp

Does your lamp have the adjustable brightness feature? I just use the bulb that came with the lamp, but with the adjustment, it gets pretty bright...I'd call the manufacturer before using any bulb other than what they recommend...

If you know the bulb is OK and the plug is tightly seated, then make sure that the bulb is seated firmly. I move the top button from right to left (as I face the lamp) until it clicks and the light comes on. Good Luck

I have no problem with my lamp. I use it mostly with the USB port on my computer. If you hold down gently on the on/off switch the lamp will dim. Tap the on/off switch and the light will go out, tap the on/off switch again and it should come back on in bright mode - at least that is what mine does.

Mary - we haven't had that issue at all with our unit. I would test it in a different wall socket and see if the issue repeats itself. If so, I would replace the bulb and, if your lamp strobes again, I think you have sufficient evidence to point to a flaw in the device. Best of luck. Hope you get it going well enough - my wife is delighted with ours. Joe

Hello there! As a fellow poster M. Baird said, using your finger you firmly tap the silver base. NOT too hard, but firmly tap it. These lamps have 3 light settings which get brighter each time you tap the silver metal base of the lamp. I ordered this 2-lamp set, but one of the lamps was defective, so I had to send them back. But they were what I wanted. I will probably order them again at some point. These lamps give off great light. Better than I expected. Good Luck. I think you'll really love these small lamps which give off GREAT light!

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

It turns off after an hour. Always leave it plugged in or you have to remember to plug it in again at the right time the next night that you use it. You can't use the lamp at any other time unless you want to plug it in at the right time the next time you use it.

If you lamp is over two years old, that sounds like it time to change it.or the only other proble that youse have is your cooling fan next to the lamp, if the lamp get to hot then it will turnd it self off till it cools down

It seems to me that your OxyLED lamp has a problem. I would send it back to be fixed or replaced. I checked mine again and it always starts and stops if I touch it right over the LED in a fast manner. If It were as erratic as yours is I would be dissatisfied for sure. I ordered on of the other mfgr's lamps that you mentioned. I'll see how it compares. As you said it is $20 less expensive which is a good feature too.Vic NettleI am in Tampa Florida, where are you, Yoon?

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 !!!!!

my lamp is always lit whenever the btty is in the charger and the charger is plugged in.the owner manual doesnt mention the light, but says that you can leave the btty in the charger-plugged in- indefinitley but it will discharge it the charger is not plugged in.i suggest that you check the wall outlet by plugging in a lamp.if when you verify the wall outlet, then there may be something amiss withthe charger

I am having trouble also. I don't know how to keep the lamp burning..it is set up to be a solar powered lamp but I cannot tell if the sitch can be left on. I still have my box and it does not say. Would love a telephone number to call to ask>

I don't have any issues with the lamp (so far) I love it. Maybe you can return and get another one, well worth it.

The original question has been adequately answered, but I have a further observation. It is a nice lamp, but the base is small, and the lamp is inclined to tip when being switched on and off. I glued the lamp to a round piece of stained and varnished plywood (5" or 6" diameter) with thin felt glued on the bottom. It works.
