My flash light is not working even though it was in the sunlight for 8 hours. Any suggestions. Was given to me for Christmas and has rarely been use

Sorry didn't check email for a long time. My flash light would have light after only 2 hours of sun charging

The flashlight is poorly put together. You should unscrew the top of the flashlight and check the button. That was wrong with mine.

This unit uses rechargeable batteries, which like the ones in your cel phone have a finite life and need to be taken care of. They are replaceable with a soldering iron if they are dead.

I got the same complaint from the people in the family to whom I gifted these lights. It appears that either the batteries do not hold charge or solar cells have some issues.

That would be my guess (but i'm no expert). did you put in a new battery or is this the old one? i didn't have any lighting issues, but my battery was new. it did take 24 hours for my security alarm (where i put the new battery) to reset itself, but your issue could be completely different. sorry i can't be more help.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

You have to contact Nebo. If it has been under a year, they will fix it or replace it for free. I also have to send mine in because the light output dropped significantly even with fresh batteries in it. Here you go...warranty@nebotools.net

Did you just buy it? If yes let the charge waste all the way and when it is done put it on charge if it charges it then the charge works but the light feature is defective. You can always contact the seller and request a replacement and if it was sold by amazon call them and tell them that you are disappointed and you want a new one with next day shipping at no charge and they will accept because it is their fault. If it is a 3rd party seller ask them to ship one at now charge to you and if they say no then threaten them with a 1 star rating. Good luck

it sounds like you have a battery issue. I ordered 3 flashes and 1 of them had a faulty battery.

It sounds like your light may be broken. My lantern charges after being in the sun during the day, and at night illuminates without fail.

It might be a faulty unit. Like Jimbo, my unit charges easily--even an hour or so of sun is plenty for several hours of illumination. I'm very impressed with this device and hope that you have similar luck with a replacement lantern. Good luck.

i dont know i've been having issues with mine but it could be the batteries or user error. i got the test light to work, but doesn't seem to want to trigger my 550ex canon flash or my vivitar 283's. but they do trigger my photogenics so....

The flashlight is really just junk. The one we had went through two or three sets of batteries in three weeks, we seldom used it. I would throw it away and purchase a new flashlight avoiding Dorcy, that is what we did. I am sure your light is dead.

Howdy, Check the spring I wrote about in the review. When I had mine I was walking along and light quit working. When I took out the batteries and looked into the flashlight the spring that was soldered to the LED circuit board had the solder break and the spring was just laying there. I had to resolder the spring to the board. Has been working fine ever since. I hope this helps. I guess we should all just send them back and then maybe the manufacture would fix the soldering problem they have.

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

I wish I could help you. I was very satisfied with the light and had no problems getting it to light up.

Remove ALL batteries and put them back in...Viola! No more flashing...This technique also works when the batteries are going low and begin to flash. Be sure to dim it slightly and the battery life will be extended.

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.

Quick answer you can return it back. I bought 34 flash lights and returned 3 back and got my money back.

Makes sure batteries are in correctly, leave to charge overnight, if it's still not working, contact seller with the problem. If they don't satisfy the issue then contact Amazon and they will take care of a refund and return for you. Hope it's only a battery/charge issue. It's a great little light!
