A couple of the flashlights didn't work in my package too. I shook them up a bit and wiggled the battery and some responded to this. I didn't have the issue of any hot lights though.

A few days after receiving them and checking that they worked, I tried them again and a number of them did not work. I also tried shaking them and moving the batteries, but that did not help all of them. I did not have any issues with hot lights.

Not sure the question was fully finished....but you are buying throw-away quality flashlights. I think all 6 were working for me, but now, 6 months later, 2 are dead and the others seem close. They are used by little kids, so I expected the result for the price.

This flashlight is crazy bright. Brighter than 310 lumens and iv had the same batterys in mine that came with it. It doesnt get constant use butit does get a fair amount of use. This thing is blinding. If you look directly at it it damn near gives you a headake

It sounds defective, sorry.They should work right away all the time.A connection is not working correctly; it could be the switch or a contact.These are great flashlights but every once in a while something can go wrong in manufacturing.All the best.

Send it back to amazon for a refund or exchange it for another one and hope it comes from a different seller. There are alot of fakes from all these cheap LED flashlight's that are identical in look's but not in quality. Good Luck

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.

It's only solar power. A flashlight is not the sun light. So it won't Go. I tried to lol

The light is hot, as in very hot 120+ Fahrenheit. (can cause some slides to dry out, but actually not that common) I wouldn't think it would it would ever need to be changed. I would expect in the least 1000 light hours for use. Lastly in this day and age you can either change the light socket, or the bulb itself, maybe with led. However I discovered compared to the scopes at school that being so bright can actually help in some cases. So if you're handy I would honestly change it out for an LED bulb, or just ignore it. This was the biggest flaw in this scopes design, along with the tray holder. If it wasn't for the good lenses, and the price - I would of never of bought it. But for biology - this scope is unbeatable for the price. Anything else let me know, thanks for asking by the way, I appreciate it.

Sorry to hear about the problems you encountered. I've had no problems with mine since I purchased it. Seems like you received two defective flashlights. Suggest you request replacements or a refund from the company. I have no other suggestions as to what's causing those problems.

The LED bulb and new style lens work in unison to give off a LOT brighter illumination. What a difference. Plus my old lens was so scratched up and dirty so at the time I was trying to locate a lens, when my bulb blew out. It took care of both worlds. Thanks

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

I get the same thing. Basically I just think that this isnt a very good flashlight. I would certainly not rely on it. I would never recommend that anyone buy this flashlight. Also really surprised that so many of the reviews are positive for this flashlights. There are so many issues with it. What an awful flashlight.

If I were you I would not buy this particular light. The electrical components were the cheapest china has to offer. It shorted out and started sparking after I had it a week. It's junk, don't buy it.

It twists on and off. Mine would flicker on and off get a different flashlight.

What is the problem with switch on the first flashlight.? I bought two more of these of these flashlights the first one worked fine for a week so I ordered two more by the time I got the second order the first flashlight would go on sometimes by pushing the button and other times it wouldn't. And then about a week later I received he other two flashlights. They are very well made machine but I think the switch on the bottom is no problem. I noticed a few other feedbacks that I wasn't the only one that had a problem with the on-off button please answer thank you.

I am unaware of any place to get replacement parts. I have all kinds of flashlights for all kinds of reasons. From SCUBA diving to Firefighting and purchased this light to use as a dive flash light. I have never been so disapointed in any one product as much as I am with this. I purchased 2 and ended up returning 1 almost imediately and the second is dead and no matter how i try to get it to work it wont. Its the biggest money pit of a flash light i had ever seen. Do yourself a favor and start looking for something new. Pelican Brand I find has flashlights to meet every need I have. Good luck and I am sorry I couldnt help.
