Is the battery pack supposed to stay illuminated when the unit is powered on? I sent one back last week because it didn't stay illuminated.

Mine doesn't. It still provides power until the device stops requesting it. It would waste power. If you want to see the status, just click the button again.

I believe it is, mine does. I'm having problems keeping it charged. Doesn't seem to hold it's charge, unfortunately.

It seems 'Not'. But when the battery pack is being charged the lights are on - blinking. After push the round button you will see the some of 4 lights on and know how much power left in the battery pack.

No. The lights are to show you the remaining juice in the battery. Once you plug in your device and starts charging the lights go off. It will be a waste of energy to keep them on.

It should stay illuminated when the battery pack is BEING charged or if it is charging another device.

M. Craiger has the right answer! Sometimes I will check batteries by putting my hand over the solar panel to see if the light comes on. If it doesn't I need to place unit in the sun for a charge or replace the batteries. We love ours and they light up the campground every evening.

The power button does stay lit. I just turn it away from me while using it at night while I'm sleeping. It has never bothered me :)

I do not have a problem with mine staying charged. I use Energizer batteries.

i believe the blue light goes off...mine does. it should hold a charge until drained by charging your phone, radio ,etc... u may have a defective unit.

I just tried your steps and confirm it works like you want. I turned on the lamp, unplugged the power cord, then replugged the power cord back in, the lamp was still on. I believe this remains to work because the battery still had power. Make sense?

The light does stay on to let u know. But it didn't work for me. I still have mine plugged in and I still have a mouse problem. They just wait until night time now to come out and ruin stuff.

Yes the light does stay on if the unit is plugged in, this indicates that the unit is working and charge is available to be used.

Nah, I'm front ct and have had my light out at night in the single digits and teens and had no problem. Just keep it in my jacket pocket until I need it and pull it out and use it for about 30 min or so each time and it worked np. Probably used it in these Temps about half a dozen times this winter.

Hi, if you turn off the unit and the white lights stay on then something is wrong. The white lights stay on on some of the weather settings but not the moonlight, so if the white lights are on in this setting and also when the unit is off then you should send the light back and get a replacement.

The red light won't stay on. I've plugged it both in the wall and on my computer and I have no indication that the charge is holding. Is this happening to anyone else or should I return it? I only got it today.

With our as soon as we turn the switch to the "ON" position it lit up. If you have brand new batteries in it I'd send it back for an exchange. We love ours. Good luck!

mine did that initially. i left it charge for 10 hours then used it till it was dim. After the second charge the light went off when i assumed it was charged. hope that helps.

Yep! The green power light stays on, but its hardly noticeable. The night lite part is really pleasant and subtle when it is on.

My experience has been that the light is on when it is working. I don't know if the light goes out when the battery is fully charged.

I have had mine for some time and don't recall that it was a problem when I installed the battery. Sounds like you may have to return it and get another, BTW, I do like (and trust) the unit.
