Purchased two. One of them started this blinking action, a consistent on and off every second. Worked well for 1 month. anyone else experience this?

I have had two of mine do this within the year and it seems to be fatal. At first I loved them but when 2 of 6 fail within the year it is unacceptable. Not quite perfected technology and I am not wasting any money replacing them with identical ones. Also, these are white box, made in China lights so it is not worth the time to find out about any warranty. If one existed, cost of postage would make it easier just to toss it than spend good money on postage. I would strongly suggest that you pass on these lights. It becomes saving a few cents on power but losing it replacing the lights when they fail. I have had two of mine do this within the year and it seems to be fatal.

Yes, But mine was connected to a motion sensor, I hard wired it to a switch and it worked. However I have had one fail within a month.

I am having the same problem. I bought two strands at the same time. One has started to intermittently flicker when in the non-blinking mode and the other is fine. I was wondering about exchanging as well.

I also had this happen after months of use and thought I'd just used it to death. I came back to buy another one and tried this and it is working perfectly again! Just unplug everything. I let it sit for about 15 minutes (plugging it back in immediately did not work) and then plugged in the pad, and plugged the pad into the wall. No more blinking light, it turned right on and started heating up right away. Thanks for this tip! Hopefully it can help someone else, too!

Mine started flashing when turned on for more than a few minutes. Sometimes it started flashing when turned off (but plugged in). The only way to get it to stop is to unplug it. Contacted Westpoint Stevens; a rep said to "reset" it by unplugging the control from the pad and from the wall. This didn't fix the problem. I was told that I could ship it back to Westpoint, at my expense (about fourteen dollars), and would be sent either a replacement control or a refund.

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

happened to me also----then after I let it sit for a while it started working again-----I'm not so sure that I gave a good review----I have two and thought that the newer one was the same as the older one---NOT!, even though it was represented that way when I purchased it.

mine only blinks when i've had it on awhile, and it goes off automatically. if i push the off button, then i can leave it off, or push the button again to turn it back on.

I had a similar experience. After a period of working just fine, it stopped taking a charge. Light blinks rapidly when plugged in.

If the LED on the sensor blinks every minute or so, try quickly sliding the DIP switch, (channel selector) back and forth quickly several times. This has "fixed" ours in the past.

Hello . Am I never expirienced that with mine. The problem was it kept freezing and the screen kept blinking so I returned it back for full refund. I think it can be fixed I just didn't waste time.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

Mine is starting to malfunction; the LED light is not responding correctly, even after I reset the SMC. When it works, though, it works great. It just seems that even the slightest motion will cause it to stop.

I've never had this issue. You know it is fully charged when the light quits blinking.

I got two in a row and they worked well for a minute and then died. I thought something was wrong with it, but I guess it may be the batteries...that is ridiculous. We only used it like 3 times.

I have noticed this as well. This seems like a potential electrical problem which could be dangerous. However no danger here, the control started to blink after a few days then stopped working completely. Sent it back to Amazon

Mine stopped working as well. It lasted for about 6 months. Sometimes it decides to turn on. When it does, after some time, it flickers on and off and then shuts off completely.I have a second one, that's just as old, that is working perfectly fine.... for now.

Mine still has the blinking light. I have the exact same one I bought two years ago, and this one I just bought a month ago. Both blink.
