Defective? When I do a moisture test the red LED lights up but I hear no sound. The side switch is moved to + and green LED light works too...

We held moistened paper to contact and alarm sounded immediately and red light came on. It seems that yours is defective.

You appear to have a defective alarm, it should sound as soon as it comes into contact with moisture. Try one last test and this time use water instead of moistened paper and see if it makes a difference. If not you need to contact Amazon and return it. Good Luck

Sounds defective. I dont think there was a way to silence the alarm otherwise.

This sounds like a problem with the bulb, or a loose connection. First, I would try removing the bulb from the socket and re-installing, just to see if the bulb might be loose. Next I would try a new bulb. If neither of those work, someone with electrical knowledge will have to check wiring and solder joints.

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 just put my ear right next to the bulb (incandescent) as I adjusted the dimmer from off to on and back to off, and didn't hear anything. Did the same thing with my ear next to the dimmer unit itself, also heard nothing there. Hope that helps!

Did you push the little switch on the side? If you did, see if it lights up with the electric plug. If not then you have a defective product and should be returned.

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

I believe it's a defective LED driver or at least one of the components in that power circuit. I had similar problem with one of the 18 units after 2 months of used. I would recommend contacting the seller to see if they can send you a replacement. I plan to do the same this week. It should not happen.

Usually one of the infrared LED's has gone bad. If you are a tinkerer, you can open the top and replace the Infrared LED emitter LED. You can compare it with the other LED's by using a cellphone camera or digital camera to see if the emitter LED is dim. Usually the main one in the middle is the culprit as it is used more. Hope that helps!

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.

Your light is not defective. I have two of these and they do the same thing. I'm pretty sure that it's either uv, or infrared.

It must be defective. It should reach the full brightness all the way to the right and dimmest to the left. I hope this answers your question.

Check the electronic eye on top of the light. I had a similar problem and it was the electronic eye. I bought a replacement at Home Depot for a little under $10 and that took care of it. Hope you can figure it out!

My guess is you got a defective one. They are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so it wouldn't be a long shot if you ended up getting one that was malfunctioning the way you are describing. My advice is to just send it back to Amazon so they can replace it with another one. I know it's an inconvenience, but in the end, you'll be glad you did. It's a great light, especially when it works the way it's supposed to.

I had to go and check. Mine does not make a sound. I went beyond my usual modes and tried everything I could and, it never made one sound.

i had the same problem, the red light stayed on & couldn't get the green light to show until i adjusted the float knob (the white knob)...then it worked perfect!

Yes, I had mine for 2 weeks and it has the exact same problem. The seller is AKDY. There website has a service number to call. They are sending a new circuit board and emailed the video on how to install it.

I don't mean to be rude but you are testing it in the dark? And it doesn't glow? If so I would contact Amazon if you bought it from them and get your money back. It worked great on my items so I'm thinking you must have a defective can.my items
