Bulbs are the problem also
I purchased this lamp and it was delivered without a bulb.<br />I returned the lamp and the replacement arrived with a bulb that<br />was broken. I decided to keep the lamp and just buy a new bulb.<br />The bulb I purchased looked correct but it would not fit into the<br />Verilux socket.  Checking the web I found that Verilux sells its<br />own brand of bulbs for about $20.  The bulb I purchased cost less<br />than $8 with tax and its base differs slightly from the damaged<br />Verilux bulb.  I used a Dremel type tool to shorten the tabs on the<br />new bulb base and it fits and works fine.<br /><br />Bottom line: This lamp is not cheep and Verilux overprices its bulbs<br />to screw the buyer when bulb replacement is needed.  Buy another<br />brand of lamp!
