I bought these and love them; however, one of them isn't lighting now...no paperwork with them. Is there batteries that need to be replaced in them? Thank you

there are two things you try out, one is to just install regular AA battery and if lights come on at night if this works this only mean that your rechargable battery need to be replace or need the solar cell is too dirty and need to be clean.

Yes they have rechargable batteries that after a while have to be replaced.

Yeah the rechargeable batteries may be dead.. You can replace them with new battery. Make sure u get the rechargeable once.. If that not work that is light is done. Buy a new one..

If I remember correctly, there are batteries included. Also, there are paper tabs that must be removed in order for the batteries to make necessary contact... I might also add, It will take a few days of sunshine before the lights reach their full brightness!

Yes, they require two (2) Rechargeable AA batteries. The Solar panels provide power to recharge them daily with adequate sun.

I liked these lights for the first month then one went out and it was not the battery just a junk light. Now the other light is real dim that might be the battery not sure yet. you can get battery at Best Buy or Radio Shack. Me I am throwing them in the rubbish. And then look for a better set, remember you get what you pay for.

Yes I believe there are batteries. I love the lights! I haven't had to replace the batteries yet

Mine doesn't use batteries at all. No moving or lighted parts. Strange that they'd even mention them. *shrug*

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.

Hello Paul, theese are not battery operated, there is another type that are. I don't agree with the answer that they are "junk", I own a professional DJ company, and I use them for "up lighting", and they look great! Craig

When you got the lights there should have been a card that gives you warrenty iinfo. If not just go to the website they should send you more, i had a problem with mine and they sent a replacement for it.

My understanding is, you'll need to contact Stanley (ph is on the spotlight instructions) to determine if you're still under warranty and send the unit in for replacement. There are no consumer batteries available that you can just go buy and replace that I'm aware of, this is what Stanley told me when I tried. My light was past warranty, so its just a doorstop now.

I bought them too. The batteries are probably dead. A similar thing happened to me. Mine lasted a couple of weeks with occasional use. Because they are "wireless", the system is always active even though the lights aren't on, looking for a signal to come on. Had I known of the short battery life BEFORE I purchased them, I wouldn't have bought them. Good luck to you.

I had the opposite problem with my 1st order, as everything was too loose and the light wouldn't stay on. This company has one of the friendliest customer service team. I emailed them and promptly got a response thanking me for the feedback so they could take up the problem with the manufacturer/distributor. They also sent another light out to me right away, and this one works without a problem. I have not tried rechargeable batteries. Maybe you can ask them when you contact them. Best of luck.

Squeeze them front to back - once for a solid light; twice quickly for flashing. There is a chance it was squeezed and turned on while in inventory and the batteries are bad. Return to Amazon or the Amazon merchant. When you do get a working light make sure you buy batteries from Amazon. They are much much cheaper than buying at a local store. Also spend money on name brand batteries - they simply last longer.

Sounds like a defect, I would contact somebody and get a new one. Hopefully they'll take care of you because this is a great light. I ordered mine months ago and carry it with me everywhere and it works like a champ! I haven't had to change the batteries yet either!

Plugged in to the battery lead and the the batteries have power, if they are then showing nothing, you either have the negative wrong or they are defective. One or the other. I would send a email and they should send you replacements.

Is it a matter of replacing a battery or bulb? Otherwise, I think you'll have to call the company. I cannot find my stick right at this moment (I have a couple of different ones) and so I can't check if it's even possible to replace those parts. I imagine the company would replace the whole stick for you - if the light just doesn't work.

I'd love to answer your question but I've had mine for a week and they've yet to light up at all.

I purchased replacement batteries on Amazon when I bought the lights. I'd sell you strike of nine if I could.Shop for the lights again and you should get suggestions for the batteries required.Good luck

Its probably broken. They are cheaply made. Mine came with one strand already dead. Then all the rest faded to barely dim. I returned mine. Id recommend you do the same.

another customers review I had read before purchasing advised to take out batteries that came with lantern, and then put them back in , to activate lantern. Hope this helps. If lantern fails to light , then I would replace with new batteries.

This has never happened to mine. Sounds like a bad light. I personally think they are great!
