I ordered one but has no on off switch on bottom so flashing red light does not work. I am returning it. Today If I order another will it be shipped with a switch on the bottom so light flashes?

I ordered two of these, at different times recently, and both were delivered without a switch and both did not flash when batteries were installed. Very disappointing. The included manual shows a on/off switch that is not on the unit and they did not work with fresh Duracell batteries.

They must have purchased one with the 'options'. I think some of them had light sensors. I just ordered the usual plug-in, off/on switch, but mine is placed correctly right side up at the bottom of the cover. It is beautiful. I actually ordered 2 of them. Put up the second one for future use, maybe I should check to see it's made correctly!

Check: good battery, positive (button) end first (toward bulb). Does the tailcap button give a solid "click?" Otherwise, you may have a bad one. Extra low price, ships direct from China, no packaging or manufacturer claiming ownership... roll of the dice. Try Olight, Streamlight or Surefire if you want a guarantee but at 10x the price. FYI mine doesn't look exactly like the one in this picture.

So far I haven't had any problems with red light run continuously flickering, it might have a short in it. It not suppose to work like that and I would return it for a new one. This Deluxe brand was rated high, it goes from low to high and my wife and I love it. Contact the seller and ask to return it for another one and they will honor it with a UPS return slip. I hope that help you. Aaron G.

Does it blink green then go away totally and then the red light stays on or just no light period, and is there sound during this ? Because I changed one out and it blinked as you say then went to red and was defective bulb. So I sent it back for a replacement. Another time I replaced one and it did something similar and I think it wasnt making a good connection so I took the bulb out and used attachment to vaccum out all the dust that had accumulated back there and re-installed bulb and it worked great.

I did buy one of these before from target. I bought this one from amazon, but we are moving so we haven't put it together yet. on the one from target, the switch was a small rubber button about a third of the way down the post. it wasn't easy to see, but if you find it just push it and let it go. if you push it more that one time it gets brighter. mine Is in storage or I would try to figure it out for you. good luck, treen

Buy a new one. When these have anything go wrong, it is cheaper to buy a new one than try and fix. I had problems with the light on mine, and it was not the light, but something in the wiring. I purchased a new one from Amazon. Very happy

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

Mine must be newer. After fiddling with it for a while, I discovered that the red light is the reset button, and you have to push it with a pen or something and hold it down for a few seconds until it starts to flash then release it.

You tried holding it for a couple seconds? I just tried mine and I held it for a couple seconds (no more than 5) and the hour started flashing. If that isn't working then yes I would say you should return it. I would definitely suggest getting another though cause I am very happy with mine.

The instruction say if both lights are out-replace the unit. I have noted twice so far one or two lights were out-so I checked the switch- yes it was off. Apparently on high loads of surge it will throw the switch off. Re set. This unit does instill a sense of security and is about the best in the market, I have found. Good luck. Old Timer

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.

I bought two. At this point both are strobing and need to be replaced. So I guess the answer is no and also it doesn't matter because product is junk

I had the same issue. Turns out one of the switches was the kind that glow when the power is off so you can see it in the dark. These allow a small amount of energy through causing the lights to flash. Replace the switch with a normal on/off and you should be good to go.

Only one red light functions on my unit also.. I also don't get the flasher function..

I haven't had any problem with mine. I push the button - get bright - push again - it dims (not a whole lot). Don't get a flasher - maybe there's another button.
