If the 18650 batteries are charged, then there might be a problem with the switch or the the connection between the batteries and springs, or the spring and the LED. You might have to pop the thumb switch cover off and try making the connection manually to test it.

Howdy, Check the spring I wrote about in the review. When I had mine I was walking along and light quit working. When I took out the batteries and looked into the flashlight the spring that was soldered to the LED circuit board had the solder break and the spring was just laying there. I had to resolder the spring to the board. Has been working fine ever since. I hope this helps. I guess we should all just send them back and then maybe the manufacture would fix the soldering problem they have.

You gotta make sure that the batteries are completely charged that means the light turns green on the charger and then off to flashlight still don't work grab a voltmeter and check your batteries because they should be 3.7 volts each

might have over charged the batteries... they come with a charge on them out of package,, try turning the adjustable lens cover...or pulling the same cover in and out several times and see if that helps...

It sounds defective, sorry.They should work right away all the time.A connection is not working correctly; it could be the switch or a contact.These are great flashlights but every once in a while something can go wrong in manufacturing.All the best.

Send it back to amazon for a refund or exchange it for another one and hope it comes from a different seller. There are alot of fakes from all these cheap LED flashlight's that are identical in look's but not in quality. Good Luck

Try cleaning contacts on flashlight but also what specifically doesn't work. Contact the seller as well

Both of the ones that I purchased stopped taking a charge after 5 months of use. I used them as emergency power for cell phones . The flashlight would work about 6 hrs before the charging issues

I just unscrew the flashlihgt from the shaft. When you do this it will reveal a "button" battery. Pop it out and replace. Reattach the flashlight . That is the best I can do for you. Jim

The manufacturer, Streetwise, recommends 8-12 hours of charging. It should be working by now. If not, the manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty. However, make certain it is not user error. If it turns out to be user error, they will charge a restocking fee and they will not pay any of the shipping. It will have a master switch on the tail end - near the charging port. Make sure that is turned on. Then, check the flashlight/stun gun switch. All the way back is off. The center position should turn on the flashlight. The forward position puts it in stun gun mode, then you'll need to push the stun gun activation button. Once you can be completely certain it isn't working, then make arrangements to return it for a warranty replacement.

It might be that the charger died. I have had that happen. They don't last all that long. About as twice as long as the batteries in my experience. Do you have another charger to test them in. Maybe a friend has one.

Double check that you have the batteries in the charger correctly, charge them and it should work. Return it via Amazon

Did you turn it on? there is a little button on the top beside the USB plug that has to be clicked to turn on(should be a blue light indicating power on). Click it once to turn the power on, hold the button for the flashlight. Hope this helps.

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.
