I just received these lights and can't seem to get either of them to turn on? What am I doing wrong? Help!!

The lights turn on by pressing with your thumb on the back. I squeeze it between my thumb on the back (label side) and my index finger on the front side. The translucent plastic material is harder to compress when it's cold. Also, the pressure needed seems to vary from sample to sample (I have 3). The batteries are changed by peeling off the plastic dome from the label side, removing the inner unit and sliding the 2 batteries out the side.

Just squeeze them. I have two of these and 1 is very to activate, the other takes a little more pressure.

I don't believe any of mine came with one of those battery pull tabs but you may want to check and remove one if you find it. It takes a good amount of force to push the button. I just tried mine once again to make sure I explain correctly. Hold it with your index finger on one side and your thumb on the other, it seemed to work better for me when I put my thumb on the side where I could see writing through the cover. there is s definite "click" as you press the button to turn it on. (You'll do this again to switch to the strobe option and once more to turn the light back off.) I hope this helps!

I've noticed that, after some use, the light becomes harder to turn on and will occasionally stop. If you pop it open like you're changing the batteries, you can adjust the metal case surrounding the battery. Sometimes repeated pressing will warp the thin metal. If you widen the space between the metal top and bottom (make more room for the batteries), it allows more room for the button to press. If the metal top and bottom are too close together, it becomes impossible to squeeze them together.

when you have the clip part facing to the left, that is the front where the light is. turn it around and it will look like the battery is underneath the orange exterior. Also, it will have a power button on it. push it with you thumb on that side once to make it light and twice to make it blink or flash. I hope that helped.

You need to really squeeze it! Use your thumb & index finger. I initially had the same issue BUT got the hang of it in less than 30 seconds. Don't return it! Works great but the size is small so therefore the distance that it can be seen is limited.When I walk the dog at night I also take a flashlight & wear a safety vest with reflective strips.

hold the lite between your thumb and fore finger and squeeze really hard, you should hear a faint click. If you squeeze two times very quickly the lite will blind on and off like the signal on your car. If you do this and it still don't lite replace the batteries. if the above do not work the lite may be defective.

Squeeze them front to back - once for a solid light; twice quickly for flashing. There is a chance it was squeezed and turned on while in inventory and the batteries are bad. Return to Amazon or the Amazon merchant. When you do get a working light make sure you buy batteries from Amazon. They are much much cheaper than buying at a local store. Also spend money on name brand batteries - they simply last longer.

No, but can you get them to light? I can't get them to light up. Making me crazy.

If the led isn't turning on I would try new batteries if that don't work, I would return it for a new one. Wish I was of more help, my lights worked for about 3 months and now they pi nly work sometimes. Good luck.

I would love to buy anyone's that has stopped working somehow. I've bought 2 and my lights keep going out. I'm looking to cannibalize another to get my lights working again. I NEED my lights to work. It seems so simple inside, seems like a repair person could fix it easy enough. I could fix mine but I don't feel like learning to solder.

I have two different Streamlights and each one was different . Try putting the battery in each way till it works and charges Sorry I can't be more positive.

Sounds vaguely familiar. If you press the button, does the light turn on at all? Have you tried removing the batteries, waiting a few moments, then reinstalling the batteries? If it's the problem I think it is, I think it's the light's circuitry going into a protection mode. When you charge the light, do you plug the charger cable into power source, then plug the mini-USB plug into the light? Or do you connect the light to the cable first, then connect the cable to a power source? If the former, then I suggest switching to the latter to avoid the problem. I suspect it's an issue of the powered cable touching part of the light it shouldn't if you're not inserting it "cleanly" into the charging port, tripping a protection mode.

You have to purchase new lights. Bummer, because 2 of ours did not work when we got them. We tried, and we are very handy but no luck.

The ones mine came mine with turn on right away, but I haven't used them that much yet. Sorry you are having problems. I would call Hunter and see what they say or can do about it.

both my lights work fine check the wiring make sure there not wired backwards and if you are sure you got a good ground then i would contact the manuf. and ask them

I agree with the reviewers below. Try changing the batteries first, then make sure the lamps are fully charged. If that doesn't work, return them.

Nope that's the norm for these lights! check the fuse by the plug first, go to radioshack for new fuses. i had 2 of these lights that pop'ed and sparks came out I contacted the company, they sent me 2 new light heads opened the box 1 st one worked the 2nd one was dead on arrival it never ends with these! Lol so far I have 2 out of three that haven't given me issues in the last 2-3 months

If one side is lighting, that indicates that they are receiving power. If one side is out, the lights must be defective. The fact that one side is out on both lights at the same time is unusual. There are only two posibilities I can think of. 1 - Both lights are from the same manufacturing run and both failed or 2 - you have a voltage problem and it blew iut the first section. If you can get a voltmeter, check your voltage. If its over 14v, its too high. Either way, return the lights.

Yes, the light should turn on by plugging it in. I know because I own it. Try plugging it in to a different outlet. If it doesn't turn on, the product is defective

We just plugged them in and it worked. Make sure that the left is on the left and the right is on the right. Try the preheat and see if it gets warm. Ours works great.

You may have to make sure the plug in is working, be sure both lights are on, on the charger. If they are not you may need to take the ear piece out & try putting it back in. If that does not work, let me know & I will send you my box.
