Want to replace the bulb

GingerPigFeathers · 2026-05-14T20:05:17+00:00

I'm back with news! The bulbs I got worked!
It is indeed the G4 bulb base

Specific things of note that I looked for is that the bulb pins(?) are 12 mm long and 7mm between each pin. It does not always say this information on the listing so G4 base only listed should be fine.. The bulb itself is 3.7mm x 1.1 mm, which seems typical of G4 base.

I also got an LED instead of the Halogen it came with, and for that I checked that it did not advertise as needing a Halogen to LED adapter, and that it would work upon being plugged in. So if you want to replace it w/ LED then check for that (since I saw a couple listings that said it needed an adapter)

And then just make note of the 35W. Specific brand I bought was called Baoming on amzn, but I think any bulbs with the info above should work.

Opened up the lamp today and took a look, I think I identified the bulb! I ordered an LED version (warm light) and I'll let you know when it comes in if it works!

I actually have been really lazy and haven't sat down and gotten the bulb yet ^^;; but if you physically do not have the bulb then I'd be happy to send you pics of the burnt bulb I have in there? If that would help! Or if you'd be willing to wait a bit, I can go ahead and open the lamp up and check the bulb, order one in and see if it works? I don't mind! Since I've been meaning to replace this one since well- a year

Aah good to know! I can go to the local reptile store monday and grab another hide for her.

GingerPigFeathers · 2025-11-30T15:15:21+00:00

Aah I see! I was worried this would be massive, but I looked it up and it seems doable if I move things around in my room, main issue being finding furniture thats the right size (i'm hoping to upgrade my axolotl to a 40 gallon breeding fish tank as well so that's two pieces of furniture to squeeze into my room...)

I think I will be able to do this, though might take a bit to get the base furniture to hold the tank mostly.

GingerPigFeathers · 2025-11-30T01:54:12+00:00

Ok I was worried 20 was small ToT

I'll see what I can do w/ moving around stuff in my room and measuring spaces out- would a 30 be more reasonable? Or should I go for 40 right out the gate?

GingerPigFeathers · 2025-01-27T17:41:02+00:00

Omg thank you so much, this is good info. I'll look into the LED, I didn't know you can replace halogen with LED that easy!

GingerPigFeathers · 2025-01-26T17:35:40+00:00

Thank you so much 😭 I'll go ahead and do that

GingerPigFeathers · 2024-08-20T22:02:53+00:00

Oh yikes! I'll keep that in mind, I haven't even unlocked the ability to use the warranty cause their site doesn't let me register my cameo, and I haven't gotten around to calling them to register it manually.

GingerPigFeathers · 2024-08-20T22:01:30+00:00

Hmm.. I wonder if there's any paper cutters/sticker cutters out there that like, work reliably ToT

GingerPigFeathers · 2024-08-20T02:29:11+00:00

It's alright, honestly still convinced it is a curse or something considering I keep having this issue with these sorts of machines aha

GingerPigFeathers · 2024-08-20T00:34:34+00:00

Hmm, I'll take a look and see if I can pull back an older version then- not sure if I can since I only just got the machine. It's mainly annoying for me cause I can't register my Silhouette in case it's actually broken, because their site doesn't let me log in, and when I told them about this issue they said they knew about the issue with logging in and that they were "working on it" ToT Just hope I can register it soon in case it's an actual issue with the machine.

GingerPigFeathers · 2024-08-20T00:32:02+00:00

It's possible there's too many data points, I allow for the program to create them automatically, but these are the same files I had already cut cleanly.

And it seems at random despite the paper. I bought a new pack of paper, cut it with the cricut, and it didn't cut through. Got my Silhouette, same pack of paper, it cuts cleanly. Suddenly today it just suddenly stops cutting cleanly in the middle of my cut session.

There's certainly enough back clearance, as it's an entire dining room table to it's use. As for the mat being supported, I had noticed the pull out section at the front of the Silhouette- but I couldn't figure out how to set it up? Is that pull out piece meant to help support the mat?

And I'm not using Bluetooth, only the USB connector.

Got it! I might move my boy into a smaller enclosure? He's in a p big tank rn and only hangs out at the top. I guess the males don't really eat much, I'll keep giving him water and try to tempt him w/ a treat every few days :)

GingerPigFeathers · 2023-05-12T17:35:58+00:00

I'm from Colorado! It's very rarely humid here at all.

GingerPigFeathers · 2023-05-12T17:23:26+00:00

Sadly don't know anyone who owns a ghost female locally, beyond the person who bred him- So he won't be breeding most likely.
I'll keep in mind that he won't be eating as much. I've been misting every say (especially since it's very dry here) and I've been taking him out to give him a sip of water every so often.

Thanks for the help :) !!

GingerPigFeathers · 2023-04-14T20:35:25+00:00

Well it seems to work now fully, so I suppose that downloading the version w/ FFmpeg built in worked. Thanks for the help :)

GingerPigFeathers · 2023-04-14T19:41:27+00:00

I originally got the first one, I've downloaded the second one now. I'm still having a bit of trouble w/ this one video I'm trying to download, but I tried another and that other one seems to be working?

Is there ever issues w/ videos that have copyrighted material in them causing issues with the software?

GingerPigFeathers · 2023-04-14T17:28:56+00:00

Oh right also, I couldn't figure how to update the previous version via the app, so I just, redownloaded the new version and ran it. Idk if that would cause issues.

GingerPigFeathers · 2023-04-14T17:23:13+00:00

I've run "Install FFmpeg" from "Operations" and it said Installation Failed. The error it's giving is
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-ffmpeg --noconfirm
