Will burn out in a few months, HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Update: I replaced the original thin wire going through the flexible neck with a larger wire (which I could hardly miss). These are the photos with the wire attached. Connections still burn out behind the lamp. I think the combination of poor connector material causes a lot of heat from the current draw of the 50 watt bulb and a closed fixture that doesn't allow airflow will cause the wire insulation to burn through and cause shorts. Original: Looks like they will break after a few months of use. daily use. I attached it to the side of my son's turtle shell with a 50 watt lightbulb. The first seemed to have failed when the solder eventually melted and buckled in the socket and the contact burned out. Today the second failed when the timer was turned on. My son screamed that everything had gone dark in his room and he couldn't turn on the light. The switch tripped and after resetting it I noticed the turtle light was off. Tried changing the bulb to no avail, used a voltage tester (live-dead-live) and nothing so I opened it up. As far as I can tell it looks like the wires are fused and shorted. Based on the former melting the solder and burning the contact and the latter melting the wires together, these bulbs should only be used on a VERY low wattage bulb, NOT the 50w bulb they will operate. The design is exactly what I needed and the light has worked great so far.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Sad device
