why do lights not work with new batteries

Either the batteries are installed improperly or the light is defective. Does the lock work?

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.

Sounds like the wires or the press switch went bad, it should work with new batteries

Mine worked ok when I got them, new batteries and use at night. They have trouble with the smallest amount of sunshine

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!

No idea. We bought an extra box of lights, and will replace them with new ones when they now longer work.

It becomes obvious when the battery's need recharging by the lack of brightness from the light. I bought an extra set so I have fully charged battery's in case I need the light for a longer period then one set lasts. I hope this helps..

Ours also did not work at all with new Energizer batteries, but I had some problems with other batteries in that new pack earlier. So I tried 5 new Duracell batteries. Now the night vision works for about 3 to 4 seconds once turned on, then stops working. Returning mine, but it was so hard to unpack that the packaging is all torn up!

Hi - these lights should not be flashing. Perhaps changing the battery will fix the problem.

I'd do this: Buy a replacement battery and try it to see if it works. Eventually you'll need an extra battery anyhow. If it doesn't work, return the light. If it does work, keep it. The time spent returning the item over just a bad battery probably isn't worth the time and effort.

Replace batteries or if you have rechargeable AAA batteries, they should work too

Sounds like a defect, I would contact somebody and get a new one. Hopefully they'll take care of you because this is a great light. I ordered mine months ago and carry it with me everywhere and it works like a champ! I haven't had to change the batteries yet either!

Hmmm, I haven't had that problem, but like other's have said, I would first verify the polarity of the batteries (the + and -) are facing the right direction, and if that still doesn't work, check to see if the metal contacts are actually making good contact with the batteries... if they aren't, you may have to use a small screwdriver or needle nose pliers to pull the metal contacts out just a bit. (be careful not to break it off).

Well, Chad. The ones i bought work Perfect, No Issues. Sounds like your problem could be a Ground Issue? I guess i would hook them up, one at a time, to a good 12volt battery. makeing sure if the problem follows the same light. then...take that light apart and look for any possible Faults?

Leave them plugged in for an hour or so and recheck them. I believe I had a similar issue with these initially. I'm anxious to hear if this works for you. I've been really pleased with the lights I am using in our house. Helps so much at night.

It must be defective or you didn't turn on the switch that turns on the lights. The switch is on the underside of the disk in the middle. Maybe the batteries aren't good. Check for that too! But, you do have to turn on the lights for it to have lights.

I have 4 lights total and 2 have always worked perfectly, 1 has never worked and the 4th only ever "glowed" until last night, when I pulled it apart again, flipped switches and reinstalled batteries. Magically it seems perfect now. So, I'd suggest playing with it a bit.
