any thoughts on how to fix the light (new batteries) installed but will not light up? Stop working less than 2 month old..

I only tried mine once and it worked fine. Did you make sure the batteries were installed correctly? This has happened to me. I take an eraser to clean the contacts. Hope this helps.

1. Test the "new" batteries individually to make sure they are OK.2. Confirm that each battery is installed correctly into the holder - the flat (-) end of each battery should be towards the spring in the holder.3. Confirm that the battery holder is installed correctly into the flashlight - the holder goes in "bump" end first. If your flashlight still isn't working, then either the on/off switch or the LEDs have failed, and these are not user-replaceable.

When I first put in the batteries, it did not work. I realized that I put the battery holder in the wrong way. Turned it around and it worked. Hope it's that simple!

Personally have not had any problems yet with my unit. Knock on wood that it never happens for me. I am sure that the Peedar folks would replace the faulty device in good faith or cite a remedy if approached amicably.

If you have the tools and experience, I'd say check the connections. Other than that, get in touch with the company and get a new one.

All I can suggest is to change the batteries. That happens when they get low. It is suspicious that yours never worked.

I have not tried fresh new batteries in the light yet. the batteries that came with it are operating, but have weakened. I had the light on for about 10 hours before it weakened. I am sure some Duracell would do much better.

I have 4 lights total and 2 have always worked perfectly, 1 has never worked and the 4th only ever "glowed" until last night, when I pulled it apart again, flipped switches and reinstalled batteries. Magically it seems perfect now. So, I'd suggest playing with it a bit.

I had the same problem. The supplier replaced without issue under Prime. New light works fine, and very bright. FYI that it's magnetic, and there is a ring that holds it in place, so make sure it's assembled corrected direction.

mine won't even turn on. I don't know if the indicator light is just weak or what but right now its doa. and what do you do when the battery runs out?

Sometimes "New" batteries have sat on shelves for so long they have discharged completely. I advise getting Rechargeable batteries with a charger, remove and install when fully charged light indicates full charge. Otherwise, return the timer for a new one, could be a lemon, it happens. My cheap-o batteries from the dollar store barely lasted a month, but the rechargeables are still running after 3 months.

Yes, I did change the battery in mine because it wasn't working. I have two lights and one quit working. I bought replacement batteries and changed them with no problem, but the one still didn't work. Unless you know it it the battery for sure, I would not waist your money on new batteries if it just doesn't work.

Try putting in all new batteries. Normally, when the light starts to go on and off, it means the batteries need to be replaced. If new batteries do not stop the problem, the light is very likely to be defective.

I would love to buy anyone's that has stopped working somehow. I've bought 2 and my lights keep going out. I'm looking to cannibalize another to get my lights working again. I NEED my lights to work. It seems so simple inside, seems like a repair person could fix it easy enough. I could fix mine but I don't feel like learning to solder.

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.

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.

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.

Check and replace the batteries. I had exactly the same problem. I Called the company, their customeer service is great. At there suggestion I found one of my batteries was "defective". Replaced it and all was fine. BE sure the unit is NOT mounted close to a heater vent as warm air from heater can cause unusual activity with the light.

Hi Sharon, I wish I could help but mine just sit at the bottom. I think the motor on mine isn't strong enough. I sent an email to the company but received no response. Maybe the motors are defected. Who knows lol my son likes the lights. I spent a lot of money just for lights lol

I'd do this: Buy a replacement battery and try it to see if it works. Eventually you'll need an extra battery anyhow. If it doesn't work, return the light. If it does work, keep it. The time spent returning the item over just a bad battery probably isn't worth the time and effort.

Sounds like a defect, I would contact somebody and get a new one. Hopefully they'll take care of you because this is a great light. I ordered mine months ago and carry it with me everywhere and it works like a champ! I haven't had to change the batteries yet either!
