You need a lamp to provide heat make it work, but not too much. <br />So, my first question would be: did you buy the exact same wattage as the original bulb? Is the new bulb incandescent and not a newer flavor of bulb? Is it a high efficiency bulb? <br />One thing you might want to try is to place the glass portion of the lamp into some warm water to see if you can soften up the waxy stuff. Then, see if you can get the lamp working at that point.<br />Good luck!Kevin Woodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288559372955795301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-74953329008590932082014-11-23T04:09:13.599+00:002014-11-23T04:09:13.599+00:00Don't you know anyone who tinkers with electro...Don't you know anyone who tinkers with electronics?
