The light is too soft. Could you provide where to purchase a replacement (around 4100 Kelvin)? Could this also work for an LED or CFL?

LED would work fine too because they don't give out as much heat. check out this link and they are LED A19 light bulb / standard size light bulb so it will last longer and save you money Triangle Bulbs (Pack Of 10) 12 Watt A19 LED Bulb, 75 Watt Incandescent Bulbs Replacement, 1055lm, Soft White, Dimmable,

They would have to have some type of ballast system to power the light. I would just replace the entire unit. There cheap. Mine seem to last about 3 years but i only run it on the weekends. I want to update to an LED in the future. Good Luck.

Mine gets warm, but not enough to turn off the light. It sounds like a defect in materials or workmanship. I'd return it for a replacement. Good Luck.

I'm using a CFL bulb and it is working fine. Check that the bulb is rated for lantern usage.

I'm not aware of a product that would do what you ask. Assuming that the issue is excess heat, I went to 100 watt LED bulbs by Cree. They only require 18 input watts and are cool enough to touch while on. They are relatively expensive, but have a long service life and use considerably less electricity. They are slightly taller than incandescent bulbs, so if that is an issue, you will want to check dimensions before you buy. Website is www.cree.com.

The top screws off where the batteries are and the light pulls out. But it is a three lamp circuit board. I don't know where you would find a replacement. I would try a Batteries Plus store or try to contact EMF.

Hi, James, I am not pleased with this light. It doesn't provide enough light for my needs. I was all set to send it back and ask for a replacement but I had to have surgery and the lamp got pushed to the background of things I needed to do. I am not pleased with it, thinking at first that they had sent me a used display model whose bulbs were weak. If you have had a similar problem of weak lights it must be the way the thing comes. I can't use it.

I'm not sure the LED is replaceable but there should be a driver inside the back of it similar to a ballast on a flouresent fixture might be the problem.

I would try a known good light bulb. If that doesn't work return it the sockets broken if that does work it's probably a bad bulb.

Actually, I'm not sure. The light diffusing cover is plastic and maybe a halogen lamp might prove too hot and damage or melt it.

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.

after looking at mine a little closer it's as if its 5 little LED lights off together encased in plastic. I do not see a way to replace it no I have ever seen a product like that in the light bulb department. I will say that I've had mine since 2010 and I've never had a problem with it as long as the batteries are fresh. Hope that helps

lol I had the same problem. I think u might be trying cfl bulbs,as i am, to save the energy cost. Maybe try an incandescent bulb (but they cost more to use) .... maybe >>>> LE® 3W G14 E26 LED Bulbs, 25W Incandescent Bulb Equivalent, Not Dimmable, 200lm, Warm White, 2700K, 180° Beam Angle, LED Light Bulbs, Pack of 2 Units OR (4 Pack) 100-Watt G25 Medium (E26) Base Globe Incandescent Light Bulb White

Jerry, I realize your question has been answered quite thoroughly by 4 other posters, but I thought I would add my 2 cents worth. As James R. suggested, I would also simply call Cooper Lighting (at 1-800-334-6871)or e-mail them at www.cooperlighting.com if you do not need to install the light immediately. In my experience, most distributors have been very good at sending replacement parts at no cost. If you need the parts faster, then as already mentioned, it is generally quite easy to find the mounting tube and cap at most hardware stores. Return to Amazon is always an option, but I would still call the the maker first since it is the easiest. Sorry for repeating what has already been said. I really just wanted to support the other responders. Good luck.

I had the same problem and now cannot find a replacement ballast, not sure what else it is. Electrician installed so I keep trying to see if a recall on ballast.

Try the Ikea LED GU-10 bulbs, the light is warm and very bright for a 4.5 watt bulbhttp://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40255909/
