Is there a way to shut off the lights when the battery and charger are not in use? My concern is the lights are using energy for no reason.

You shouldn't worry about using thousandths of an amp in current flow...people often worry about a slight trickle of current without addressing what item draws hundreds of times more power...learn basic electricity.

I'm sure it would be such little pull from the lights it wouldn't matter, but if it does you can run a switch to shut off when not in use.

I put my light with an electric eye to sense darkness. The battery and charger just idles.

No, I had problems with my unit but on the power adapter. Once I installed the batteries the unit would recharge and lights would turn off.

I don't use the charger supplied with the light - it seems to be ineffective time wise. It also seems to have a hard time making/keeping electrical contact, which could actually be your problem. I use an external charger and also have several other rechargeable batteries charged up to use if needed. I know, it's a pain in the butt, but that is the reality. Other than that, they are a good headlight.

Its harmless. Depending on how you have your light switches set you may notice there dimly kit while your driving. I kinda like it. They use much less juice, so the current in the line shows up. Your x cuts power to that circuit when the car is off after ten or fifteen min anyway. You can check, they won't be lit

I've had this happen too. If the battery pack is charged and attached, push the on off button on the battery pack. It's on the back next to the four white flashing lights.

You should have gotten charge cords for both items. Just plug the cords into them and when they are charged the red light will go off.

Leave them plugged in for an hour or so and recheck them. I believe I had a similar issue with these initially. I'm anxious to hear if this works for you. I've been really pleased with the lights I am using in our house. Helps so much at night.

My light stays on as long as the unit is plugged in and the battery is attached. I just let it charge for 10 hours before removing. That seems to work. It would be nice if the light went off when it was done, but I donlt think mine does...

They are always available for power. There is a light that comes on when you plug in a device that is drawing electricity. If the device has a self shutoff when fully charged, the light goes out when it shuts down. Otherwise, it goes off when you unplug.

Check and make they are switched to the on position. There is a button located on the back. Also, make sure they are fully charged before using. I charged mine 2 whole days in full sunlight. When charging make sure the switch is in the on position.Turn them off when it gets dark do this for 2 days. I have 2 sets I did this with both sets and they are working fine.

There are settings inside the actual lights; make sure they are activated. (Right behind batteries)

I haven't had that issue with mine either. I use mine mainly for edging which puts a greater strain on the battery. My battery will normally last between 30 and 45 minutes and all lights go out. I would definitely call their customer service and ask about it.

Mine does the same. It is just to indicate a full charge and will turn off eventually. The power used to use that LED is so minimal it has little to no effect on the power stations battery.

The batteries just run the light which has a high and low setting so it's going to depend on your use habits. I turned the light off when the party was over. Did not seem to be a problem!

there are (3) lights:AC PowerCharging-unit is actively charging the batteryFloat Maintenance -battery has reached full charge and unit has switched to maintenance mode

I have had mine a couple of months now, and the red charge light stays on all the time. Before you send theses back, consider plugging into another outlet in your house. Good Luck:))

Having the lights on does take a lil from the battery without sacrificing allot of power. Note these are led lights and do not consume not as m much power as you think. But having them off will give you about 30 minutes of extra use after a full charge
