On February 15, 2014, reviewer Archaegeo stated they had been shocked by the switch when they turned the lamp on. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have used this lamp for many months turning it on and off several times per day with no indication of an electrical short.

I've had the lamp for about 6 months and have never had a problem turning the switch on and off.

We have never had that problem. We use our lamp frequently and have had no problems at all. Absolutely love it!

I had not used the light except to test it. Many weeks later I used it in Maine and it was fine for a few times. Then suddenly light blinked on and off like a turn signal. I took out the batteries and set it aside. About a week later I put the same batteries back in and suddenly the light has been behaving. I have not used it much so I cannot rely on it. Someone in the comments section was critical of the switch. It is very inadequate, to be sure.

Of my 2 lamps, the 1 that I was switching on and off no longer works and the problem is the switch. I've only had this for 3 1/2 months

Hi Richard...The switch is on the base just like all other lamps...It's a beautiful lamp!

I purchased my lamp 8 months ago. Works fine most of the time but occasionally it goes off and on by itself even though lamp is off. Sounds like you and I must have lamps with wiring problems, but I have not contacted the shipper. Probably should but I really like the lamp so if I am gone for any period of time, I just unplug it.

I don't have any issues with the lamp (so far) I love it. Maybe you can return and get another one, well worth it.

I bought two lamps. One is still working perfectly. The other one was also working just fine until about a month ago and it blew out as well. Still waiting to hear about any resolution to the issue.

Interesting issue - when I first installed the lamp, the "power on/off button" seemed to work well. But after having this lamp for a couple of weeks, I am having the same problems as Mr. Chung reported. I still like the light output and size - but I am a little discouraged by the several tries it takes to turn on and then off. Maybe I reported too soon initially on my satisfaction with this.But the difficulty in turning on & off is an issue the manufacturer needs to correct. Tom McElroy

I didn't have any problem with the light but the water has to have a lot of pressure running out for the light to even come on. Over time it takes even more pressure to activate the light.

Jennifer, they didn't work at all for me. The lamps would not stay on. I bought them because the swiitches on our lamps kept stripping out. We would up just having the switches replaced. The dimmers went in the "i bought it but it doesn't work" graveyard.

No. Lamp will *not* power up from a switched outlet that has been switched off, and then back on. Too bad; that would be a nice feature!

Same thing happened to mine. I ordered a replacement sensor - called a TOUCH LIGHT SENSOR by OK Lighting from Amazon (Prime). It's the same thing that is in the base of the lamp now. I'm only going to try one replacement sensor because I read that these touch lamps should not be left on all the time. I was using it for a lamp during the day and a night light at night so I guess I wore it out (in only a little over a month)!!!!! I really like the lamp and it will be a shame to have to trash it !!!!!

I did. But the touch system (to turn on, brighten and dim) no longer works. I have to plug and unplug to turn on/off and no longer have the dimming feature. I'm not certain that the bulb is the cause.

after mine was exchanged I have not had one issue at all. It kept clicking as it attempted to light. I won't go anywhere without this unit. Works great since the exchange.

Dear Debra, You have the same problem I had and I found out that I would have to order it and wait and I was so disappoint that I returned to lamp to the vendor for I had became dependent on my lamp and only had it a couple of months. So, I returned the lamp to the vendor. I do not remember receiving a refund but I am not positive.

I also had something happen when I turned the lamp on. Something popped and the lamp no longer works. I was unable to find any repair parts. My estimation is that it is a piece of junk. It never worked at all.

There is NO "positive" and "negative" in house wiring. Please do a web search on "lamp re-wiring". An improperly wired lamp can give you a bad shock (or worse) even with the switch off.
