the light should flash on and off while charging I am pretty sure. I did use a powered usb hub to charge mine.

Return these while you can. Have had many issues with mine and received no support from H-K Cust svc.

Seems like you may have a problem, the lights on my charger have lit up every time I plug it in. There is a possibility the wall piece itself is bad though. Maybe try another USB charger an see if it works. Or put dead batteries in it leave it for roughly an hour an try them again to see if they have taken a charge.

Mine worked ok when I got them, new batteries and use at night. They have trouble with the smallest amount of sunshine

Hey Mike, I just received mine a few days ago. I did charge it overnight, and when I woke up the next morning (and after 10 hours) the green light had gone off. Not sure why yours didn't.

Same here. They just stopped working for me a week ago. Green light is on showing a full charge, but that's it.

I just received mine. I am still letting charge to full power. The light is still blinking so it is no up to full power yet.

Hi Eugene, have bought the same unit, no problem so far. The blue light glows whilst it is charging. I would suggest checking you do not have a faulty battery first, all the battery polarities are correct otherwise it sounds like a fault in the lamp controller. Good luck! Apart from being a little heavy and not particularly pretty this is a great bike lamp, actually lights up the road.

Mine are still working. One fell and cracked a bit but it still lights up at night. They don't last all night but they still do light up. I think you might want to send them back and try a second pair.

When I bought a pair, the 2nd one didn't work at all (the light didn't even turn on). I don't think it was just a battery problem though, as the wiring underneath seemed in complete disarray. The actual circuit board seemed shot.

Getting the same issue on mine. Red light never goes off while charging (overnight), and then won't ever turn on using the power button. I've used this model of a friend's, so I know how they work. But these are simply broken, as near as I can tell.

Yeah the rechargeable batteries may be dead.. You can replace them with new battery. Make sure u get the rechargeable once.. If that not work that is light is done. Buy a new one..

The charging light in mine actually didn't work, so I tried turn it. Since in had a battery in it I cound send it through the mail. I contacted AMAZON and they sent me a new. The new one works perfect....

i havent had any problems with them. so im assuming that its not normal, if its just one id change it, but it sounds like your saying all are dimming out. May be an alternative issue, but it could very well be possible that its the cheap lights!?

I had the same problem. I charged them for 18 hours and the red light never went out. Once I paired them with my phone though the charging indicator functioned correctly.

I had problems with mine not charging- the 15% power light kept blinking no matter how long it was charged and despite the light that indicated it WAS charging going off; I ultimately returned it. A few other people seem to have some similar problems.

That shouldn't happen. Just the charging light should come on. The greatest feature of these lights is that they are guaranteed for life. Contact them and send it back.

I charged for a few hours ... but could not get them to work. Never knew why ... but it wasn't because they didn't charge.
