also see light strips that are flakey. Several are "blinking" and one complete side strip of lights is out. Anybody know of a way to repair?

As I mentioned in my review, if you are handy with a soldering iron and a multimeter you can open it up and identify the bad solder joints that are causing the flaky behavior and resolder them. Usually the problem has been been at the edge of anLED strip and not within it. For this premium price though, this is really shoddy construction.

You have to contact Nebo. If it has been under a year, they will fix it or replace it for free. I also have to send mine in because the light output dropped significantly even with fresh batteries in it. Here you go...warranty@nebotools.net

I would ask the seller. These are LED lights so they can't just be replaced. If its new the unit may be bad. Sorry

One of the LED bulbs could be bad. Pull the light apart and check they all work, its easier than it sounds.

I believe it's a defective LED driver or at least one of the components in that power circuit. I had similar problem with one of the 18 units after 2 months of used. I would recommend contacting the seller to see if they can send you a replacement. I plan to do the same this week. It should not happen.

Brilliant! I had the same issue, cleaned the LED screen, and now it is working. Thanks Lloyd Wilson!

Check the electronic eye on top of the light. I had a similar problem and it was the electronic eye. I bought a replacement at Home Depot for a little under $10 and that took care of it. Hope you can figure it out!

I just moved the panel around until they stopped blinking. I haven't had the problem for a while. The lights do not come on without me toggling the on/off switch though.

Yes, go to a full view of this product. On the inside, there is where the actual circuit is that is faulty in these lights. There are "3" parts on this circuit that quit working in sync. I replaced mine with only this piece and never had trouble again.

I'd say you're getting lights from a bad batch that weren't inspected. I have three and have never had any problems and use them 24/7, send them back with a request for lights from a different batch.

I think I solved it. Once you clean it as the manual says you need to reset the system. With it plugged in but NOT turned on, put a paperclip or something in the reset button and press the (I think) Timer button. Should work then. The reset procedure I just described is in the manual right after the cleaning instructions.Thats funny V. Montez, I did the same thing - put it away for a cpl months and finally decided to tackle that damn blinking red light. Its all working well now!

I've consulted with an electronics technician. He says a part that controls the power to the LED is the problem, but it'll be tough to identify and replace (and cost more than the light itself). The LED on mine is actually still good (it lights up dimly, same as yours).

For some reason the connections shake loose in shipping inside the light. You could try making sure they're all connected properly. UNPLUG the light, remove the 4 screws and just wiggle all the connectors to make sure they're tight. Replace the cover and try it again. I did this on the 2nd one (same problem) and it fixed it! Good Luck!!!

Check the bulbs. Possibly you have an electrical issue that needs to be looked at

Unfortunately, I ordered this for a family member. Not working, though seller tried to go through various attempts to resolve issue.She sent it back and now I am waiting to hear results.Were I in your situation I would send it back for a refund. I am not impressed. NEVER ignore blinking lights w/electrical wires next to your body. Good luck.
