Anyone know why it ticks when plugged in, and lights flash once very quickly and go out. It continue to tick and nothing lights up or works?

Mine only ticks when it is warming up then stops once it is hot. Yours is broken

Oh! It sounds like there's something seriously wrong with it. I use both of mine 24/7 and none of them have ever made the slightest sound.

If I had mine on the carpet, it considered it an uneven surface, so it wouldn't turn on, it makes the clicking noise when it tries to turn on for me, but since it couldn't ever decide if it was level, it just cycled like that. Eventually returned it!

Uh oh. Mine doesn't do that. I just here a slight surge when I plug it in. Good luck

Do have a GFI. If so the outlet is below standard and will not take the voltage being drawn from the heater. Do not use it without upgrading your breaker and outlet female plug. If your wire set up is not up to code you might have a fire hazard without replacing socket, wires and breaker.

Mine doesn't do anything like that! I suggest you return it for a new one. I'd be very concerned about that behavior! I used mine for several months on a daily basis and it operated normally. GOOD LUCK!

not sure...when you installed the battery was the unit plugged in or not? if it was plugged in, try unplugging it after powering it off, intall battery, then try the power buttonwhat happens next? is it just dead or do you get lights at all even for a moment? mine just worked and was not an issue.....did you dbl check the model numbers? and it fits ok, not wobbly?mine has been working like a champ....no complaints at all!!!!

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.

I received mine today (2/7/14), plugged it in and it worked fine. Turned the dimmer switch off and it never turned back on again. So... apparently it is still an issue.

Everything seems to be fine with mine,no problems at all. You might try unplugging it for a minute and then plug it back up,see if anything resets.

try covering up the day/night sensor with your finger and see if it still flickers? if not, then you might be getting reflections so it sees that it is dark, turns on, illuminates its own sensor, and thinks it is daytime again. I had a problem like that with a motion sensor light. might double check your power source if it's not that. mine has been running solid every night for months using a POE adapter.I've had mine

Lights only blink while charging. You might check the surfaces of base and toothbrush to be sure they are clean. Also, check plug. Do you have a GFI that could have tripped?

A ticking sound?? Run, run for your life! Seriously, no, I did not have that experience. I assume you've tried changing the various time and sensitivity settings. As one of the other replies suggests, perhaps the bulbs. Mine performs flawlessly on halogen floods. I guess you could have a bad sensor unit.

No. It sounds like a defective unit. The LEDs should only flash when charging.

Sounds vaguely familiar. If you press the button, does the light turn on at all? Have you tried removing the batteries, waiting a few moments, then reinstalling the batteries? If it's the problem I think it is, I think it's the light's circuitry going into a protection mode. When you charge the light, do you plug the charger cable into power source, then plug the mini-USB plug into the light? Or do you connect the light to the cable first, then connect the cable to a power source? If the former, then I suggest switching to the latter to avoid the problem. I suspect it's an issue of the powered cable touching part of the light it shouldn't if you're not inserting it "cleanly" into the charging port, tripping a protection mode.

I haven't had a problem with mine at all. I would probably do what another person suggested. Unplug it for awhile, and then try it again. Sorry I can't be more help.

I think when I plugged mine in as well it does blink while it's charging ... Once it's fully charged all 3 lights light up indicating it's done

On mine the green light does not stay on and it synced just fine. There might be something wrong with the one you have. I have had zero problems out of mine and it has worked perfect .

Me to, I thought it was just me. I just unplug it and then plug it back in. I repeat this process until it works, usually I have to plug and unplug a couple of times. Annoying. Dan

Wow, that's soooo frustrating. I'm sorry I can't help. Our has worked fine. A couple of times in the beginning it did stop and we unplugged, plugged it back in. Fortunately it was an easy fix for us. I hope you can get it resolved soon.

Mine did that also. Try plugging something else in to that plug and make sure that the plug works.

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.
