I am having trouble with keeping the lights working. If I take the battery out and put back in, it works until I turn it right side up. What gives?

Maybe defective. I have never had a problem. Even when it fills up with water from the rain.

Sounds like a loose connection. I would take it back to where you purchased it and ask for another, if they wont help, contact the company, and see if they will exchange it for you. You might first try making a good tight connection between the battery terminals and the battery by slightly bending the terminals towards the battery for a tighter fit.

perhaps they are not receiving enough sunlight during the day& or you have enough light around even at night that impedes them from turning on

I have two of these lights at the street on each side of my driveway and have had them for about two months now and the work perfectly. I don't know what is going on with our lights, just that mine is and has always worked great and we like them very much. I am sorry that I can't be of help with this issue, just wanted to let you know that mine is doing great.George Greenwood

That happened to me! You are probably covering the light/dark sensor (a small circular indentation) when it's upside down. Try putting your finger over the sensor when it's right side up. It may be the area isn't dark enough for them to come on.

You should contact the company directly. I understand from past reviews that they have good customer service. I have had problems with my light randomly going off!

The lights on my charger go out when the batteries are fully charged no matter what size battery. If you don't have one already, buy a battery tester (available from Amazon.com for $2.89) to be sure that the batteries can still hold a charge. If they cannot hold a full charge, this may be a reason why the lights stay on. Otherwise, I would return the unit. Hope this helps.

The problem is either your voltage is dropping off or that you have "dirty" power going into the lights...you can solve the dirty power problem with a small capacitor between the power supply and the terminals on the lights

Hello, the lantern is still in the demo mode that is pre-set at the factory. All you have to do is take out the batteries and put them back in again. There was a label on my lantern with instructions as well as in the instruction pamphlet on how to do this. Hope it works, otherwise return it.

Sounds like you have a loose screw or sonething. If its the screw that comes loose then thats a easy fix. A drop of locktight on the and your good. I had the same issue with another light and its all fixed!

Yet another problem I've encountered with these lights. There's a copper contact inside along the slider. I opened mine up and cleaned it with an electrical cleaner spray. If yours is still under warranty, send it back for service. I did the repair myself because their warranty/repair department takes over a month to return.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

Hi Nick I'm Thomas I had no problems with the light thou I only played with it for a short while(It's a gift for someone) the easy check the bube if you know for certain that the batteries are good. also stretch the springs a bit for good measure Those are my thoughts about your device good luck.

If you have access to a multimeter check to make sure your batteries are actually charged. If not maybe someone you know can help you or perhaps visit a local electrical supply store, Radio Shack, etc. If the batteries are fully charged, do make sure you have then installed correctly. I can't tell you how many times I've installed batteries incorrectly even though I absolutely know to check which way they go before I put them in. If your batteries are charged and they're installed correctly, then I can only assume it has something to do with the circuitry of your headlight.....could be a lot of things. Sorry to tell you that my headlight did not last long and its problem was poor quality circuitry....the circuit board in the battery compartment self-destructed. It fried itself one day while I was wearing it. If your light is now garbage, try this one: Weiita H807 Starlight LED Headlamp, 300 Lumen, available on Amazon. It's similar but much better IMO, plus the company is great to deal with. Hope this helps.

Have you checked all the connections to make sure they are tight? My husband loves his light and luckily no problems. If we had a problem we couldn't fix would have a lighting shop check it out, since we like it so much. Sorry I can't help.

You have to make sure you screw the light bulb on right if not it will not work. I had the same issue.

The light on top was alternating red/green. I thought it might mean the batteries, but I checked & they are fully charged.Now, I can't get it to work at all, no lights, no pump, nothing...yes, the batteries are installed correctly. Any ideas?

I had the same problem. Except my lights came with blue and white leads....After searching a few forums, I learned that they will only work wired correctly; meaning connected correctly, they will come on, wired in reverse they will not light up. I tried them both ways and found this to be accurate.

Take the top off. On the bottom of the top tere is a little plastic strip that needs to pulled out. This makes the light work. I don't think the instructions really tell you that. The lights are off during the day and as soon as it starts getting dark...they will work. If I can be of any further assistance let me know. Gook Luck. CA

I keep mine in the "AUTO" position. When in the holder during daylight hours it remains off, in the dark the "Night Lite" stays on unless there is a light on in the room. At any time, day or night if I grab it out of the holder the light is a constant "ON". When in hand I will turn the control to on or off depending on what I need. When it goes back in the holder I put it back to "AUTO". This question got me wondering so I went around the house and checked them all, they are all working properly. I don't see a way to replace the battery, I'll look into that.

Make sure that the batteries are in facing the proper way. If they are in properly and the bulb is still not working, it could be a faulty bulb. Try sliding the power switch on and off (up/down) and see if the light turns on. Good luck!
