Just got this, light does not appear to be working but timer is making some noise. How can you tell if this is working?

If you turn it on, it will immediately start making noise (a static type of sound), and you will be able to smell the ozone probably even before you get out of the room (do not intentionally inhale the gas).

Ozone has a very distinctive smell: http://www.bing.com/search?q=what+does+ozone+smell+like . Have a friend sniff for it too.

The fan should be blowing and there will be an ozone smell. I sometimes have to reseat the back plug on my machine.

You will hear the air move through it and an immediate odor from the machine. If yours is working you will know it.

make sure that the plug into the back is conected, it will make a noise loud enough to easily hear from 5 or more feet to hear.

I believe you have a defective light. I love mine. It only has on and off features.

Makes sure batteries are in correctly, leave to charge overnight, if it's still not working, contact seller with the problem. If they don't satisfy the issue then contact Amazon and they will take care of a refund and return for you. Hope it's only a battery/charge issue. It's a great little light!

Hi Kim. There is an on off switch on the back of the light. I think you could plug it into a timer without a problem. Sounds like a great idea. Good luck!

Sorry, I bought the light for someone else and I can't get an answer out of them. If it were any other business besides Amazon I'd tell you to buy it anyway and return it later if it doesn't work, but Amazon is a nightmare if you want to return anything. Good luck!

Check out a YouTube video to see correct light sequencing, but it sounds like it's probably broken. I had 2 faulty units before I contacted Eliminator directly and they sent me one that worked properly.

It sounds like either a bad connection, or there's a problem with the rheostat. I would unplug the unit, remove the bulb and try to reseat it. If that doesn't work, try a different bulb. If that doesn't work, try leaving the light on at half strength and see what happens.

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.

My lights don't stay on very long. I haven't really had a chance to look it over completely to see if there is some sort of timer on it.

since it is intermittent it sounds like you may have a load (that is not always on) connected on the timer line side. The timer side needs a dedicated path. Also, you may want to check and make sure that the voltage on the line side matches the voltage you set the unit to.

check and see if there is a o ring on the back.. the cover may be tight. Turn it back till light goes off, than push on end cap switch and see if laser goes on.

Not to start off sounding like a smart a** but make sure it's plugged in to a working outlet. Second push the button on top once. If you can't tell if it's working turn the lights off. You should see a faint bluish glow in the dark.

It should just light up. Is the light screwed in properly? It could be a faulty light bulb. Mine fired up quickly.

Mine is still working well. But you can check if the batteries are in good shape or try to remove and replace the leds and batteries. I hope that helps.

Is it working at all? Set it to most sensitive and quickly look at a bright light, start adjusting from thereI set mine about quarter sensitivity and between 9-10 on darknessany problems let us know

I have not had any problems. Is this timer new, or has it been working ok until now? If new, I would double check wiring, and if ok, would assume its defective.

When the unit is working the light is very faint, but it is also possible that the bulb has blown or the unit isn't working. I would try putting it in the tank, turn off all the lights, and then see if the light is on at all. If it isn't you could try returning the unit, contacting the company, or just buying a new bulb to see if it was just the bulb. I have been using this for a while without any problems. Also, you will only see the blue light in the little circle at the bottom in the front when the unit is plugged in and workign properly. Hope this helps a little! Good luck!
