Sorry, but I have not used the lantern yet. I have only used the hand held Thermacell unit. But if you still have the box that the lantern came in, instructions are written on the box.

To remove the bulb: (It's best to not touch the bulb too much!...that being said...) twist the bulb either toward you or away from you. There is an opening at each end of the base, where you will see the metal housing (connectors) pieces where you carefully lift the bulb from each end. Be sure to wipe the bulb(s) with a clean, dry soft cloth OR using an eyeglass cleaning cloth would work too. To replace the bulb: gently put one prong into each opening on the base, twist either toward you or away from you to lock the bulb into place. I hope my explanation helped. : ) (Wipe the bulb with cloth to clean, dust and extend the life of your bulbs!)

I've had the same problem. The thing is designed to allow the cover to be pulled down part way to change a bulb. If you pull the 'wings' all the way out, it's awkward to get them back... you kind of need three hands (or more - if you need a flashlight). You need to pinch the wing rods completely together - and then push them into one slot in the middle of each side of the inside top of the box - while you're trying to hold the rest up - that's why it's tough. Once you get them started into the small slots, you can just push the cover up from the outside. The wings will expand after you push the cover up, holding it in place... good luck.

Is it a matter of replacing a battery or bulb? Otherwise, I think you'll have to call the company. I cannot find my stick right at this moment (I have a couple of different ones) and so I can't check if it's even possible to replace those parts. I imagine the company would replace the whole stick for you - if the light just doesn't work.

I replaced my lamp two weeks ago..had a real rough time. there is a tiny screw at the top of the very front vent. take that one screw out, then find a way to slide the top plastic facing toward you...it should pop out, not easily if your projector is a bit dirty. I had a very hard time getting it off. I did not believe it was right so I took every single screw out and tried taking the projector apart from the bottom. I finally got the top plastic cover to slide up and off...then it is quite self explanatory. Luckily ,i did not damage the internal parts of my projector when I took the bottom screws out.

another customers review I had read before purchasing advised to take out batteries that came with lantern, and then put them back in , to activate lantern. Hope this helps. If lantern fails to light , then I would replace with new batteries.

On the bottom of the lantern is a round, black rubber stand. Grip it and turn. It should come off easily and inside is where the batteries are. Hope this helps you.

During the 15 years I owned my first OttLite lamp, I never had to change the bulb. I would call OffLite and find out which bulb they recommend for your lamp. My first lamp finally "died" and I replaced it recently. The new lamps to me appear not to be as durable as the old ones, but so-far-so good.

Now the black cartridge doesn't go in at all. The other cartridges fit in. I have gotten frustrated and dismantled the printer. Thanks for replying.

Sorry you lost your booklet, maybe I can help a little - To turn on slide small button BELOW the big round red one downwards. NEXT press the BIG RED button in. NEXT you can slide the button on the LEFT side towards you to keep it on lock ( slide forwards towards the flame to turn OFF ) CHANGE FLAMES - slide BOTH silver buttons towards the flame to change which flame you want to use. Hope this helps!

I remember just being very careful by holding the two bulbs securely and then pulling straight out (the pair of tubes are attached if I remember correctly.) I still have my old one, but I replaced it with the new model and haven't tried the old one again. It works fine though. It's a great light. I am very pleased with both of them. Good luck to you. You can do it!!! It's a great desk light -- BOTH of them are.

Twist the base counterclockwise. It might be off the thread marks from the last time it was closed so look to see if the base is even with the rest of the lantern. Or the lantern base is twisted too tight from the person that put it on.

This system is definitely NOT easy to replace the cartridge!! I always lose several inches of the film when I replace a cartridge. You must start a "lead" of the film and feed that lead through the rollers. By the "lead", I mean to get some of the film as if you have laminated something. Good luck!!

I could not replace the bulb. I broke lamp trying to get old bulb out. I tried to order another one online, but did not like that lamp. Ended up get new lamp at Wal-mart. I use it at school - kids love it!

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.

It's very self-explanatory once you take the lantern out of the package. The metal frame at the bottom has a little wire clip that you place the wax block onto. There are instructions, in Chinese on the package.
