Please make sure you open the battery cover and plug the cable into the battery. I bought three over 18 months ago, they worked straight out of the box and are still working.I purchase three more about 2 months ago and had to return them. I nevr could get them to work. First editon was GREAT and still going; they did an upgrade and new ones need work.

Should be around 8 hours. I found mine wasn't working so I open up the battery compartment and found the battery wasn't hooked up. Once I hook the battery up to the unit it work perfectly. Your battery could be disconnect hence is not holding the charge. Worth looking into this. Good luck.

My sunlight gets direct sunlight for about four hours and works great! The more sun light the better, but the battery should also charge with some ambient light, but at a slower rate.

You need several hours of sunlight, probably a continuous cycle of sunlight during several days. It will burn weakly but goes out after a few hours if the sun has not recharged them totally. Other than that I like the lights, the light produced when fully charged and being able to place where I want light.

Have you tried looking at night? The light isn't very bright in the sunlight but if it;s working you should be able to see it if you shade it with your hand. If not the bulb may have shook loose in shipping.

I bought mine during the holidays, haven't had much sun since. However it is in a room with a 10' picture window facing north. I have had no issues with lighting as of yet.

First one I had worked for about 3 years. The second one is still working after a year. If you just got it and you have it in the sun, it should work. I would send it back.

Linda my name is Ron I live in WV and we have had a lot of rain I mean a lot of rain when the sun don't sun the light is not as bright as if it did shine. Myself I have had no trouble with the light I really think it's one of the best lights on market today. I've had my solar flag light for over a year and works as good now as if were new. Wait until the rainly days are over and and the sunshine a day, I think you'll see the light works very well.

Seems like it will last all night if you have it in full sunlight during the day. Mine gets less than 6 hours during the day and is still on, though it be dim at 4am.

yes, I had only let it set in the sun for 20 min. then took it to a dark room and it did glow. I am waiting to see how long it will glow after a full charge.good luck

It sounds like your light may be broken. My lantern charges after being in the sun during the day, and at night illuminates without fail.

8 hours of direct sunlight is the best, but I think it would light with 6 or 7 hours, It is a really good spotlight, I have had many but this is the best by far!

Once the unit is fully charged it will work for days on that charge. It also depends on how much the unit is on. If the unit is triggered often the more it needs sunlight to re-charged. This light has worked great for me.

Mine has been outside now for the past 3 months, of which we have had many nights of negative temperatures and highs in the teens. As long as it gets some sun during the day, the lights will turn on for a few hours at night. But the light doesn't last more than 3-4 hours.

If you're lucky like me, that happened after just 2-3 days of use and you can return it. My colleague has the one without the light and it has been fine for her!

the light has a low level light always on. When activated it stays on for appx. 45 seconds.The major item you need to address is mounting the light where the sun shines on it or at least bright light during the day for hours.

Sorry but you have to test The circuit maybe The battery is dead try with another battery. Mine is weak it only light 3 hours.

It might be a faulty unit. Like Jimbo, my unit charges easily--even an hour or so of sun is plenty for several hours of illumination. I'm very impressed with this device and hope that you have similar luck with a replacement lantern. Good luck.
