The plastic covering the end of the bulb - should this be removed prior to start up?

Not exactly sure what piece you're referring to, but I did not remove anything before start up. the bulb should not be exposed to water.

I was wondering the same thing when I got it. But I just left it in and it works just fine. I love it.

Yes, I wondered the same thing when I took the bulb out to remove the packaging around it. It seems to work fine. I took the bulb out of one of my other blacklights and it does the same thing, so maybe it's normal.

No. It's an LED that's soldered to the wiring. But the LED should last around 10,000 hours, so replacing the bulb should not be an issue.

It isn't worth trying to take the lens off the metal. I only needed the lens too, but the whole thing changes with two screws. Just take the bulb out, take the two screws lose or out and put the new lens in place and put the screws back in, put the bulb back in and your done.

Yes at first, but then I broke off a couple LED's from the bulb so that the clear plastic piece could fit around the bulb. I didn't think that the plastic piece was important but it is and I don't think that everyone else knows.

Are you talking about the protective plastic? If so that is supposed to be removed before use..If not I don't know. We have been using ours for about 9 years and no problems.

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.

I have attached the Light to the top of the Dome light not the plastic defused or clear bottom glass. It has not caused any problems.

No, the heat from the bulbs is dissipated through the screen. It would be a fire hazard if removed.

not sure what you mean. 5 bezel I expect you to mean at the top where the light bulb is. I'm not aware that this comes off and it is not indicated in the instructions. If you mean unscrewing it in the middle below the adjustment ring, mine works very smoothly just as it does at the bottom of the flashlight battery compartment. If either one of those has thread problems, then yes you may have a defective unit that should be replaced

Hi,The plastic cover arrived totally cracked in half. I was going to return it, but my husband got a hold of it and tried to glue it. That did not work. He went to the "big box store" and found a cover that would fit with the light bulb clip part. It is working fine over the light bulb in the middle of the ceiling. If the light has a wall power switch this works fine. If it has a pull string the fixture will be cock-eyed.

I had one that looked like this. To get to the bulb, squeeze the lens by using a knife on the long side. Just a little pressure is all it takes. The lens is the translucent part. On mine the bezel is the outside part and is attached to the internals. On others you pull on the bezel but not on mine. If you get a lot of resistance, stop pulling on it. It may be like mine which can't be pulled off without a lot of damage to the plastic parts.There were no springs.

There are two clips on either side (you should see on the cover, where it indents). I needed to use a flathead screwdriver to get pry it off. Just put the screwdriver in one of the indents and pry it in. It was fairly tricky.... Keep in mind it isn't a regular light bulb in there either, it's a GU24 (I think 24, its definitely a GU base, not a standard screw in)

I think it means that it's to not be used without that clear plastic piece that fits under the light unit itself. It should have come with it. The piece is removable so check the box if it's not already attached.

There's a screw on each side, left and right, undo those and remove the cover. Then, it's just one of those high-intensity, halogen bulbs inside. It's not horribly hard nor super easy, but with the halogen bulb it doesn't need to be done very often. HTH.

Might be from dust that is getting burnt from the heat of the new bulb. Try some compressed air to blow the dust out.

There is a small inner nylon rectangular cloth that is attached by Velcro, so yes, if you don't want to use it, it can be removed. If you don't want the outside white front but want the black sides (lined with "foil" on the inside) you can do that too. I think the biggest surprise was the type of light bulb it came with, the squiggly fluorescent looking ones, but they are as bright as they say they are and I have no complaints.
