Just got light. First week all ok now it strobes for two to three minutes before it stays steady. What's going on?

Mary - we haven't had that issue at all with our unit. I would test it in a different wall socket and see if the issue repeats itself. If so, I would replace the bulb and, if your lamp strobes again, I think you have sufficient evidence to point to a flaw in the device. Best of luck. Hope you get it going well enough - my wife is delighted with ours. Joe

I had the same problem. Bought mine through a different source who send me a new AC adapter (the part of the cord which plugs into the wall). Light works perfectly now.

If I had to hazard an opinion here I would say you have a problem with the power supply or the bulb. Make very sure all connections are firm. There is little else the consumer can do.

Thats what any strobe will do. If you are using it in a dark room it will be changing from dark to light very fast and can mess with you brains perception.

When you hold the strobe button for long enough, it stays in strobe, if you have tried clicking the large button and it's still in strobe and won't stop, you may have to remove the battery and wait thirty seconds and put it back together. If that doesn't work you may have gotten a lemon, talk to the distributor and or manufacturer and try to get it sorted. Sorry for your bad luck, I have abused the mess out of mine and it still works like a Swiss watch.

First, this light is not designed to strobe. It is only on or off mode. If it is in a strobe mode then you might have internal contacts that are not seating correctly or some other physical issue with this light. I do know that some of these have tail cap click issues where they have to be screwed in really tight or the clicker will not turn on the light. Of course you can always remove the battery too. I have three of these and so far all three have functioned fine. I have bought 2 others as gifts and one had an issue of the clicker not turning on the light. Making sure it was as tight as possible stopped that issue. And, you could return it to have it replaced to. Good luck!

Mine does the same thing and it works perfectly - my suggestion is don't worry about the lights - also, sometimes you have to give the system time to change so don't be in a big rush - good luck, I really like 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.

That would be my guess (but i'm no expert). did you put in a new battery or is this the old one? i didn't have any lighting issues, but my battery was new. it did take 24 hours for my security alarm (where i put the new battery) to reset itself, but your issue could be completely different. sorry i can't be more help.

It seems a week, However, is a low light for 2 weeks .I like it so much, especially when I add the new batteries. This is so awesome for a little extra light.

It sounds like it is going in pause mode. Try just holding power button until see green light then let go. The only time mine flashes is in pause mode. If it is flashing in pause mode just click the power button one time and the light should stay on steady. Hope this helps.

The light started flashing in mine as well -- still worked though and I couldn't find where I put my manual. We completely emptied it out because we were going out of town for a week. When we returned it was working normally! Try emptying it and refilling, I read somewhere that the 'float' may not be working right, and thinks the machine is empty.

Have you checked for a loose wire? I would say buy another bulb maybe you have a faulty bulb. Have not had any problems with mine. Everyone who sees it for the first time is very impressed!

Mine is always flashing. I will check tonight and let you know if you can change it.

That's probably your first indicator that the batteries are getting low. The next thing it will start to do is the light will also start "hitching" for a second as well.

The lights have a built in resistor, this can go bad giving you the exact symptoms you've described. I had the same issue.

At first use the light seemed somewhat weak, second use it went to a weak strobe like (weak flickering). Not a great light.

I have same problem, I took a flash light and shocked it at night to turn off then when lite was removed it seemed to reset, been working for a couple of day now, i have 3 of them 2 work great all the time one is exposed more to street lights and another porch lite, it seems to be effected by it. Im going to try a cover over the eye with an exposed end towards the sky.

The light should stay on. ..could be from a dead battery, make sure to take the battery out between using otherwise it will die really quickly.
