the mount is attached super loosely to unit, the light bobbles all over the place and it feels like it could come off, bad design or a defective unit?

I just received mine and have the sme problem. Looks like poor design to me.

Try the smaller rubber band, if not, a little adhesive backed rubber like you may find at a hardware or craft store may help.

If I remember correctly. There should be 1 or 2 screws on the bottom to attach the plasic mount to the metal unit. You should be able to get to them and tighten them.

I'd say it's a defective unit. If you can't tighten it up, I'd get another one. Both mine are tight and work great.

All you have to do is tighten the screw fastening the mount to the light. Peel back the foam to find the screw carefully, because you want to stick it back in place without wrinkles or lumps. Start at a corner.

Sounds like a defective unit. Mine is solid. I've commuted over 1000 miles in the last year with it hasn't had any issues.

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!

It sounds like they keep changing the design. Mine had screws in a bag. I couldn't pry the top or bottom off. I pushed the light panel in: no joy. I held it more-or-less horizontally by the metal strip in one hand and smacked that hand with my other one. After 3 smacks the bottom panel dropped down 1/8 inch and I was on my way . . .

After installing make sure both screws are tightened in good . Then the cover has to be on and the screw holding cover has to be all the way tight.If that does not get it the new lamp may be defective.

exactly the same happened to me, I have no answer , I use the flashlight no screwed up to the end, and besides the light isnt so strong according the price of the item, It wasnt a good business to me, sometimes we win and sometimes we lose, this buy is one of the last, have a good day.

Marco,I experienced this problem. What I was able to do to resolve it was to put the plate on backwards. By doing so, I can slide the light in the opposite direction and it creates a strong grab. My light hasn't fallen out since. See this picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qwvxudf7z9db05d/IMG_00000425.jpgHope this helps.

Unfortunately your having the same problem I and another friend have had. You can zip tie the light to the mounting bracket and still have the ability to remove the light ad bracket together and it will look a bit cleaner than tying it to the bars. It's not the lights best feature but we did get a lot of lumens for the price...not a bad deal still.

The angle piece of the shield comes off. The way the suction cup mount is made the light won't work on flat glass.

It is out of around because of the way that they glued the LED into the connector. It's definitely a quality control issue

It may seem like it is locked in place, but once mounted it will swivel quite well......it needs to be broken in so to say....mine was tight but now it is fine....well worth the price. If this is not the case and yours is defective, just return it....but I think you will be fine once you have it installed and begin using it. GC

This has not happened with either mount that we have purchased. It may be due to over tightening of the CD inset itself. Make sure it is snug, but do not exert additional force for set-up.

Hello Penky, I had to drill hole in top (comes off easy) to accept the mount screw, I works fine, hope that helps

Make sure the base of the light is small enough. Some of the cheaper lights have a larger base that what the mount can hold

The wires inside the base were not properly grounded and were touching the metal. The problem occurs when the light is twisted into place. I re-grounded the wire and capped it off. Its worked perfectly since.

I had a problem with two of the mounts Timothy mentioned. Both, once installed tilted to the left. As if the left side of the tv is too heavy. I returned the first one and then had a new one, it did the same thing. Instead of returning it too, I made due with it.

The magnifier drops out of the way most likely will not cause you a problem I will look at mine but you probably can turn the mount around

Not really. There is a stud with the wires inside it that is screwed into the light and has 2 nuts on it to mount. It worked for me without making any additional mounts. I did unscrew the stud from the housing though and put red locktite on it and screwed it back in to make it more secure.

I'm sorry I can't help you. I ordered this for my husband and he hasn't put it in yet (it's been months). Perhaps the problem is the lack of mounting instructions?
