I actually bought a black light for my son's room. It's a great night light, not small, but it works. With a black light, the stickers are always glowing.

These should charge when the bedroom light is on but you're correct, they don't glow for long

hello, you should not be doing anything wrong. These stars do need to recharge. I normally just leave my windows open and have the sun light recharge the stars during the day. Then it will work during the night. Not the whole night, I believe, but it does last for a few hours.

They glowed all night but only stayed bright for a few hours. Mine were very dim after that. It was still a cool party cup for a neon themed party I had.

Who knows what you mean by that question, but Phosphorescent Pigment needs to be charged up by a lightsource before it will begin to glow. So if you opened the box and expect them to glow, they won't. The glow will also be brighter the longer the balls are exposed to light. The glow begins to fade within minutes and slowly loses it's intensity. If you want bright glow in the dark balls during a kids party then get a UV (black) light bulb and keep it on during the party and turn the other lights off. They will glow brightly for a long time.

I don't know. We've had them for 3 months now and the glow is still strong. Having them out in the light seems to do it. Only time will tell if they become weaker.

I didn't get them because they got lost in the mail and I, yes ME had to contact the seller to find out just where the heck my sights that I paid for were. I did however get a refund and have checked these out at my local dealer and in the day time, they may glow, but the white around them would make for better acquisition, but in the dark, they're AWESOME! This is a great price (if you actually GET them) how this helps. Sorry for the delay

Mine weren't working at first. Before I went to dig into it, they started working. I'm not sure why. But they're still working and I've had the lights in for a few weeks now.

Sent them back and ask for a replacement or your money back. I remember my last a lot longer than hour, however, I did not leave my on for more than an 1 1/2, now that I think about it. Hope that help.

I bought them too. The batteries are probably dead. A similar thing happened to me. Mine lasted a couple of weeks with occasional use. Because they are "wireless", the system is always active even though the lights aren't on, looking for a signal to come on. Had I known of the short battery life BEFORE I purchased them, I wouldn't have bought them. Good luck to you.

i havent had any problems with them. so im assuming that its not normal, if its just one id change it, but it sounds like your saying all are dimming out. May be an alternative issue, but it could very well be possible that its the cheap lights!?

These specific tracks dont glow or light up. but they make some that glow in the dark.

MIne worked the first 4 nights, but now they will not light. I though it may have been that we had a couple cloudy days, but after 2 full sun days, still nothing. I reread the insert, and it says to cover the panel for a day or two???? I am trying that now. I should know either tonight or tomorrow night if it works. Too bad if they don't....they were pretty.

Hi Ted, The batteries don't seem to last very long. I have them on for at least four hours during my shows and I have to replace them every second to third show if I want the brightness, I do have then on full power. Hope this helps.Barbara

Hey Tim,They basically work as strobes only and not continous lights. At full blast, they get really bright. Also in less than 5seconds they can blast off again. Even though i don't take them to the extreme so i don't burn them

I went to Walgreens and got a cheap $10 coil burner so I didn't have to light these on my stove. I throw them on till one side is glowing red flip it then wait for it all to glow. Usually takes like 10 minutes to light three.

I too initially had problems with them sticking but I found if you apply pressure and heat for several minutes (2-3 minutes) when you put it on it stays much better. When put them on press the palm of your hand on the electrode - that gives it both pressure and warmth and you will probably need to do that each time you put on the electrode. They still don't stick as well as other I've had but these will do until I need them again. Don't use alcohol or anything else on them but you can use a little warm water on them when you reapply them and that might help as well.
