I've had my duck in the water for 5 days and it doesn't light up, any ideas??

Swap it out for a new one or call GAME, the mfg to send you a new one. We have found 1 out of 10 don't light up.

I have bought the solar light up duck TWICE, but they have lasted ONLY A FEW MONTHS. They only light up for a VERY short time.

My duck died after 2 seasons. The only thing I can think of is I believe that the solar panel had a plastic film on it that had to be removed. I hope that helps.

I have 2 ducks in my pool. The sun is on them in the day and at night they light up. My neighbors and friends are now buying the solar ducks. I love them. They get a 5 star from me.

Hi! This light did not stay submerged in the little fountain I used it in. It needs more weight.NancyL

Have you considered that it may be just broken ? It should light up right when you plug it in. Play with the sensitivity ... If still nothing them obviously it's broken.

It should glow right away. Check to make sure your plug is 'live'. Otherwise, you got a defective unit.

I'm not sure. It looks like that aquarium comes with a built in LED light under the hood. If you are buying this tank new, you probably don't need another light. If that light is broken, you could buy this light and attach it to the bottom of the top cover. This has two problems, (1) you have to attach it somehow, and (2) the light will be in a high humidity environment right over the water; I'm not sure if it is rated to survive that. My lights sit on top of a clear cover.

Maybe you need to turn the pipe around. As for the lamp not working, mine did not work either. So it was money in the drain. Complained about it, but never received a reply.

I have had quite a few problems with my wall unit. If the LED's light up and then stay on, I'd bet you have the same problem. Good luck getting anything done about it, after nearly 2 months they still are playing the "wait and see if he goes away" game. You have a bad wall unit.

the LED isn't super bright. there are four on the bottom of the plastic tank. the tank seperates from the black thing on the bottom and the led's are in the black part on the bottom that shine up through the tank. I'd recommend plugging it in if you want it to last longer.

Same Here Patricia. We just got ours last week and we let it sit for hours then turned it on and nothing!! It won't get cold, won't turn on and if it does have a light...it's not working either. I'm sending it back. Good luck with yours.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

Mine doesn't light up. Any suggestions? Also, how would I refill it with lighter fluid? thank you

They have a replacement light on Amazon...Marineland LED Aquarium Light. I have had to purchase two already. I find that if you keep it from getting wet, ie: put clear cellophane between it and the top of the aquarium then it does last. The second one I purchased is doing fine since it has not been getting wet.

I found that if you have the dust and dawn mode in the e setting (a bright white sunlight with a rolling cloud cover though various color spectrums) that the light would flash bright when it went to the next color. The fish didn't like it. It seemed as if the light was trying to give the colors it wanted but the timer was cutting the power to the light causing it to flash bright colors when it went I the next color. I've found the dust and dawn mode to work best on one color setting. I leave mine on full spectum. The fish seem to like it and the dust and dawn mode lets them know it's time to wake up and time to settle down. It also reduces the stress on the fish from the light cutting on in one flash motion.

Mine did the same thing. Only had it a week. I don't think it got any water in the housing or anything, it was just sitting in one spot on the shelf. Seems to be rather cheaply built. Disappointing!

I've had the same issue. I think it may be the result of the pod receiving too much light. Try putting it in a slightly darker area. Or if it's in a room that is always partially lit (like my office at work, for instance) try covering it up at night so it isn't getting light 24/7. Remember that it only needs 8 hours of indirect sunlight/fluorescent lighting per day.

This may work for you. I found that if there is not water inside, just take the batteries out and let it "rest" for several days. Then fire it back up. I did that with my current unit and it has been working well for about six months now. Had this problem with multiple units.

This is the section for questions, but sounds like you don't want an answer, just a replacement or a refund. Also sounds like the sun is not shining wherever you go, that might be the problem. . If you're interested in knowing more about what is causing the problem, try a couple of new rechargeable batteries and see if the bulb works. Maybe the batteries just wore out. If that works and few months later, the light fails again, then you know the recharging system is not working. Or maybe you have a prankster (or a robber?) who reset them to off.
