How can you get the triple A battery compartment to work? My light will not work when it's in there.

Double check that the batteries are in the correct way and place the module in with the pointed nub towards the light. If that doesn't work check the voltage on each battery just in case one is bad. Then check the voltage on the battery module to make sure that it isn't faulty. Sometimes those 3 x AAA battery modules are just faulty. Hope this helps.

Hi, be sure you have the batterys in correct, the negative terminal sets on the springs on the adapter,install the adapter with the arrow pointing to the flashlight. If this does not work the adapter might be defective.I took apart one of the batterys that came with my light and found a small battery, the rest of the space was filled with powder, the battery was probably about 500ma not 4200ma.

Try that clear battery sleeve. I haven't used aaa battery's in mine yet. I ordered extra 3.7. them large batteries. For maximum light output

I just tried mine, and it worked fine. Be sure that the button end of each battery is against the flat contact, not the spring contact, and that they are in securely. Spin them in their slot. That fixes a lot of problems. I spent 30 minutes yesterday, trying to fix a toy we had found. I put new batteries in, to no avail. I took the entire electronics apart, even soldering on jumpers to bypass the circuit board. Nothing. Finally, I put a meter on the output of the battery box. No output!. I spun the batteries in their seats, and Voila! Also, the button end of the battery holder goes in first. Be sure the button contact on the battery holder springs back when you push it in. That's really all that can go wrong with it. Good luck!

Sorry, have not used the AAA battery compartment. Been using the rechargeable battery.

Hi! Make sure the connections from the bulb to the rest of the flashlight are secure, then try turning on the light. If that doesn't work, then use another new bulb, in case the old one has blown. Also, make sure the batteries are inserted properly, with the positive charges pointing upward...Hope this helps, if this doesn't work, then return the flashlight & get a new one! Thanks!

1. Test the "new" batteries individually to make sure they are OK. 2. Confirm that each battery is installed correctly into the holder - the flat (-) end of each battery should be towards the spring in the holder. 3. Confirm that the battery holder is installed correctly into the flashlight - the holder goes in "bump" end first. If your flashlight still isn't working, then either the on/off switch or the LEDs have failed, and these are not user-replaceable.

I am sorry that you are having trouble with this item. Please: - check that the 2 AA batteries are installed as shown in the diagram in or near the battery compartment. - check that all battery contacts are tightly holding the batteries. Pulling or bending these contacts can sometimes resolve this problem. Once you have tried these suggestions, and have confirmed that the problem cannot be easily resolved, inform the merchant you purchased it from. Deep Memories 203 234-2001 I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you, Michael DeepMemories Customer Service 203 234-2001

From the instructions: Remove the battery cover (located on Top) by turning it clockwise. Insert 4 AA batteries and replace the battery cover. If using with an adapter (6V 500MA) do insert the batteries and plug the adapter into the adapter jack on the item (next to the on/off button). Don't place the item near other light sources - place away from the area you are trying to keep insect free so the insect can be attracted away from your desired location. I hope this works for you - it didn't me!

I just solved this problem with my lantern. It was stuck,so I ran a butter knife along the seal of the battery cover. I was then able to easily open it and replace the batteries.

How do you open the battery compartment? I replaced the battery once, but this time I cannot open the compartment.

Try with the switch on the light assembly in all positions, if still not working recheck the wiring connections. After that I would probably follow procedures for returning a defective unit.

I had the same problem with my initial order of this item; therefore I requested an exchanged and once again the item was not functioning. I suppose to light up once the batteries are installed. Unfortunately, I finally requested a full refund. I think it's probably due to their shipping method (soft packaging via USPS) which can damage the interior components.

There's a button on the battery compartment you have to push to turn it on. Then the light should come on whenever it's dark out

I have 4 lights total and 2 have always worked perfectly, 1 has never worked and the 4th only ever "glowed" until last night, when I pulled it apart again, flipped switches and reinstalled batteries. Magically it seems perfect now. So, I'd suggest playing with it a bit.

Nathan I don't have a answer for that. I took out mine and tried duplicating what you described; and I stopped about half in, it started to take an increasing amount of pressure to get it to move. I can ho that might have happened to you, since you had no idea what it was supposed to feel like. If you got it all the way in, you may not be able to get it out. I know by now you've seen the instructions on the end of battery housing. You might try adjusting the light so that is almost all the way back toward the top head strap. This is so you can hit the body of the light against the palm of your other hand. Grasp it tightly in your dominate hand, make sure the battery cap is off and pointing down. I was able to hit with a fair amount of force against my other hand. This may help dislodge the battery housing or get out enough so you can grab it with something. If that doesn't work you may have to try something that may damage the light itself. I'm sorry you've had this problem with otherwise excellent light. Good Luck!

Make sure battery top is put on and turned to match arrow. Mine didn't work either until I figured this out

The battery compartment has a white plastic battery holder. Place one battery into each of the three slots with the negative post on the spring. They alternate as you turn it around. Once they are each in a slot stick the post end into the flashlight and screw on the base. If you don't get light you probably have it in upside down. Unscrew the base and turn it over and try again. It would easy to explain with a picture but, this doesn't give me the option.

This light should take a AA battery. Make sure you put it in correctly and there is contact front and rear. Yep possible you did get a defect also.
