We have a 160 w exo terra solar glo UVA/UVB light and it constantly turns itself off, then a few hours later will just come back on again. What gives?

The bulb is not comparable with the dome. The solar glo lights are too strong for it. It is most likely shutting off because it gets too hot. The max wattage is 150. Hope this helps!

I suspect it's getting too hot and shutting off as a safety feature, then turning back on after it cools down. I would go down in wattage. I had to get another smaller dome and a regular household bulb in addition to this keep the heat up in my terrarium.

I haven't tryed heat emitters in it yet . So far I have only had a Exo Terra Repti Glo 10.0 UVB compact 26w in it and it's been working great ! . If you put a emitter in please let me know how it works :) .

Hi Julie,I have the quasar md pro and the light is only suppose to stay on 3 minutes and then beep and go off. You may have a defective one. I woul call the company next week and ask for a new one.

yes power outage wipes all settings and you annoyingly have to reset it. I have mine light on, timer off so the off time gets messed up. Just reset mine today when I noticed it was staying on all night

Thank you for your question Marcie. It sounds like your unit just needs to be reset, which can be done very easily. Simply reset the system by holding the UV button for at least 3-5 seconds until the reminder lights stop flashing. Your product is now set and ready to go! If you have any further questions, please contact Guardian Technologies Customer Service department at support@guardiantechnologies.com or at 866.603.5900 x213, and we will be happy to walk you through these steps.

Yes. There is a button on the top surface labeled UV. That button contols the uv light being on/off.

Mine doesn't turn off either - I charged it over night, and all 4 lights were still blue in the morning.

Don't know if this will help but before you installed did you lay it in full sun for the day so it was sure to get a full charge? I am assuming you installed in a sunny location. If "yes" to these it sounds like it is defective. Return or exchange it. My mom's has been up for over two years in a partially sunny location is is still working. Good luck.

I had the same problem but I finally discovered the cause. I had one of the lights close to the sensor on the unit. When the light was off, everything was dark and the light came on. After a short while the unit sensed light and shut off.

the only thing that I can think of is that it didnt get enough sunlight ....mine work fine have had them for a couple months now just make sure it has direct sunlight for 6-7 hrs a day and stays lite most of the night ... if not then it is probably defective solar panel

No! I've had my light a couple of years and this problem has never happened. I use it for an hour every night to take care of the animals. Make sure that you don't overcharge it. I charge mine in my car so that I can hear when the charge is completed.

Try holding down the button on bottom left for a second or two. It should light up and show how much of a charge it has. Push it again and the flashlight will come on. Again and it turns off. But if memory serves me, you should just be able to plug your connection in without "turning it on". Now I found after a short while that my charging connector became loose and if I didn't place it just so, it wouldn't charge up. I've had mine for some months and it still works great when charging from the wall. Never figured out how to do it with the solar part. Hope this helps.

hopeless, mine is the same but does not go out until you switch it off, serious rubbish. have purchased Osram dusk to dawn screw in lamp(bulb) works fine

I assume you have the switch on and have allowed the unit to sit in full sunlight for 2 days but I had the same problem with two that I bought. I contacted the company that markets them and they were very helpful and replaced the defective units real fast. These have been working for over a year and are great accent lighting!!

You should contact the company directly. I understand from past reviews that they have good customer service. I have had problems with my light randomly going off!

Your light is not defective. I have two of these and they do the same thing. I'm pretty sure that it's either uv, or infrared.
