Suddenly the flashlight started turning back on when I placed it in the holder. Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution?

I would double check that it is plugged into the wall OK. It should only come on if it it not being powered. (Sometimes the base will fall away from the wall a little when I'm putting the flash light back.)

I have had my light for quite a while now and have never encountered this problem.

There is a button on the light itself, and I don't mean the base, which controls the flashlight, and can be set for a flashing light, a continual light, or no light at all. That button controls the flashlight itself, so don't be afraid to be the boss.

Yes, mine both started to do this....and now neither works anymore. I purchased them in 2013.

There must be something different about your flashlight for it to be a problem. I simply unscrewed the housing around the bulb from the body and the bulb just about fell out.

I still have original batteries that came with the flashlight in mine from a year ago. Don't use a whole lot though. I have problems with it wanting to go off and have to shake to get it to come back on. It does have a lifetime warranty though. You can use rechargable batteries in it.

Hi! Make sure the connections from the bulb to the rest of the flashlight are secure, then try turning on the light. If that doesn't work, then use another new bulb, in case the old one has blown. Also, make sure the batteries are inserted properly, with the positive charges pointing upward...Hope this helps, if this doesn't work, then return the flashlight & get a new one! Thanks!

Yes, it happened to me. I returned it. I bought a Securitylng, 13000 lumen flashlight. It's bronze in color. It has worked great now for 6 months. Note: If one of your Li-Ion batteries has a bad cell, even though it shows it's not completely dead, your flashlight may not work. You need to have the batteries tested.

exactly the same happened to me, I have no answer , I use the flashlight no screwed up to the end, and besides the light isnt so strong according the price of the item, It wasnt a good business to me, sometimes we win and sometimes we lose, this buy is one of the last, have a good day.

Nathan I don't have a answer for that. I took out mine and tried duplicating what you described; and I stopped about half in, it started to take an increasing amount of pressure to get it to move. I can ho that might have happened to you, since you had no idea what it was supposed to feel like. If you got it all the way in, you may not be able to get it out. I know by now you've seen the instructions on the end of battery housing. You might try adjusting the light so that is almost all the way back toward the top head strap. This is so you can hit the body of the light against the palm of your other hand. Grasp it tightly in your dominate hand, make sure the battery cap is off and pointing down. I was able to hit with a fair amount of force against my other hand. This may help dislodge the battery housing or get out enough so you can grab it with something. If that doesn't work you may have to try something that may damage the light itself. I'm sorry you've had this problem with otherwise excellent light. Good Luck!

If I remember right, I think there was a plastic pull tab that went in between the batteries and the unit itself. It sounds like the lamp is in the "On" position, but it goes out because the tab is separating the contact between the batteries and the unit. Check that and see if it works, or make sure the batteries are seated in the lamp properly.

Lately I've been a bit disappointed with the flashlights run time. I usually keep mine on the base but it's been dying withing 20 minutes or so, with noticeable kick down after maybe 5 minutes. This is leading me to believe it's probably better to charge it then take it off then only charge it when it's discharged. That's basically what I did with the first one I had and the battery had longer full run time over a much greater period of time.

Sorry but i have no idea where to get what you're looking for. The exact same thing happened to my Fenix led flashlight. I recommend purchasing a Maglite led or trying some other product with excellent reviews.

try replacing the batteries....... ussually,when the batteries are low it does that.I had very bad luck with mine lantern... i suggest that you return it..

Unscrew the magnetic end of the flashlight. It might take some effort the first time so use pliars if necessary. Once loose it is self evident how to replace the batteries.

All I can tell you about that is the other day I was using the flashlight which eventually became dim. I replaced it on the lamp. Although connected to the AC adapter, the red light did not come on and the lamp would not operate from the switch on the base. I thought I had a problem with either the base or the AC adapter. The next time I entered the office where I keep it, however, the lamp was brightly shining and the red light was on. I concluded that the flashlight part must be charged at least somewhat before the lamp can operate from the AC adapter current. I hope this helps.

I keep mine in the "AUTO" position. When in the holder during daylight hours it remains off, in the dark the "Night Lite" stays on unless there is a light on in the room. At any time, day or night if I grab it out of the holder the light is a constant "ON". When in hand I will turn the control to on or off depending on what I need. When it goes back in the holder I put it back to "AUTO". This question got me wondering so I went around the house and checked them all, they are all working properly. I don't see a way to replace the battery, I'll look into that.

My light did the same thing. I unscrewed the head with the LEDs from the body where the batteries are. I was checking for lose or burnt pieces. After I put it back together it started working and has worked fine ever since. I believe the lights worst problem is little to no quality control at the manufacturer.

i did same thing at first, & was sure I installed battery right. In frustration, I flipped battery opposite direction inside flashlight & it worked fine. It stil seems backwards to me, but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this flashlight! If yours still won't work after installing battery in all directions, then it must be a defect. Hope it works for you. It's the best flashlight I've used!
