I've owned these for maybe six month and just noticed one of the lights is leaking a oily smelly liquid. What could this be?

Might be some kind of coolant or a cap has popped. May want to contact the the seller to see if they have any suggestions. They were super helpful with questions I had a while back.

buy a new unit. for the price of these new if you have a few of the LEDS go out you should just buy a new unit. they are not worth messing with. I have 3 lamps go out on mine after a few hours. they sent me a new one.

I think it indicates somewhere in the packaging how long they last. We ended up venting ours before they needed replacing. The lights on my z line are another story, they burned out after a few months.

I purchased mine in November of 2014 and just recently i noticed a pretty good amount of condensation starting to form on both. I looked for cracks in the lights but didn't see any. I contacted the Manufacturer and they offered to sell me another set at full price since i was past my warranty by a month. So don't drag your feet, if you have any condensation contact them right away. Good Luck.

Buy a new one. When these have anything go wrong, it is cheaper to buy a new one than try and fix. I had problems with the light on mine, and it was not the light, but something in the wiring. I purchased a new one from Amazon. Very happy

I bought a pair. The lights have both been pourous and have moisture build up inside. I am getting rid of them and buying more expensive Toyota OEM lights.

One of the LED bulbs could be bad. Pull the light apart and check they all work, its easier than it sounds.

I have several and never happened to me. I live in the southwest desert climate though and I had read somewhere that if you live in a very humid climate you have to check them as they tend to collect condensation from the humidity reacting to the heat from the bulb. Maybe because they are "salt" lamps that is the reason. Salt does dissolve in liquid so if they tend to sweat in high humidity that might be the problem. And, I'm guessing that might be the issue.

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.

There is a small internal device that acts as a starter to make the bulbs light up. It sounds like that starter has gone bad. Contact Flowtron and send them the unit for repair.

i will check but please note my husband installed these last summer and the lights have rusted already. we live up north and we park in a garage. i plan on contacting rugged ridge because they were very responsive last year. i'll post pictures if i can.

Sounds like you have a loose screw or sonething. If its the screw that comes loose then thats a easy fix. A drop of locktight on the and your good. I had the same issue with another light and its all fixed!

Hey there, ive purchased a cheap one and this one and I believe it may be another issue shortening the life of these bulbs... Maybe the fan ? Maybe excess dirt? Both of mine only lasted about 10 months (max) also.

Perhaps there is rain? Or leaves? Or flying insects? Or small animals? Or bats (this truly could be!)? If the problem persists, you would have grounds to return the lights for replacement or for a full refund. Ours have been working great, so for us this has been a good product. Best wishes to you.

I did not have that problem with mine. It sounds like you may have not had a proper seal when one of the light bulbs was inserted into the lamp lens. You might take the lamp lens out, dry it, and check for any damage to the rubber seals and try again. Not sure about their warranty.

Check to make sure the lense is not broken. Mine broke and water in them tripped the GFI outlet. I might try and drill holes in the bottom of the fixture to let the water drain, instead of building up in there.

Not sure what your problem is. We've had our lights for at least a year, and haven't replaced a bulb yet, although the batteries seem to be weakening so we'll probably have to replace them in a bit.
