I have a 5615 and even if I install new batteries or change lighting mode, I do not have near the lighting I had when new, what could be the problem?

I think the problem is that the lenses are getting dim. Try to clean the lense from inside and outside

I had the same problem and I realized you pay for what you get. The flash light is small comes with a handy magnet but just doesn't have the brightest bulb.I suggest you go to ebay type "Cree 1800" pick a light at half the cost with 5x the power.

I don't know exactly what the problem is but the same thing happened to me. I sent mine back to Nebo for replacement/repair which was successful. I suspect the problem is high heat generated from prolonged use causes damage to the LED, which would be a fundamental design flaw with the device. I have since tried to limit continuous on time for this reason.

Yes, I agree that I think the root cause of the degrading light output issue is likely the failure of the LED itself. LED lighting is still fairly new and I think some are under the impression that LED's are immune from failure. In fact, they do "burn out" but I think we all are learning that often rather than burn out, they just get progressively dimmer. In the case of our Nebo flashlights, I suspect the great price of the flashlight may be possible by using a lower-cost LED. I think we all are learning a lesson that when it comes to LED flashlights, like many things we buy, you get what you pay for.

You can contact nebo's customer service dept. from their website. Tell them the problem. They sent me a new light bulb and so far it still works

I'm kind of having the same issue. The new batteries I have put in, die fast. I have been using regular store bought batteries. I know there are higher power batteries sold at places like Batteries Plus, that are specifically designed for high lumen flashlights. Might be worth looking into if you want to have optimum performance from your flashlight. I recently ordered a Zebralight SC52. Waiting on it now, but also ordered a $10 high powered AA battery to use in it. It was a battery they sell, and recommend. If you still don't have good light after trying these batteries, I would send it back, or try an exchange, because these Nebo Redlines are pretty cool. Good Luck. Hope I helped in some way.

From what I've heard, the led can start to "burn out" on these. I think nebo will send you a replacement if you call.

I have been put some new aa batteries in, but it doesn't work. Maybe it is a defective.

That's a common problem with these lamps. Sometimes it's the batteries, sometimes the charging circuit If possible, I would just return them
2099916
as soon as u put the battery in the light should come on and stay on try taking the battery out and reinstalling it make sure it is seated all the way in good luck

This light should take a AA battery. Make sure you put it in correctly and there is contact front and rear. Yep possible you did get a defect also.

I would make sure those batteries are recommended for the light. I would also make sure they are installed properly. Some batteries are also required to charge a certain amount of time before you can use them. The batteries could be defective. I would take them somewhere like Batteries Plus and have them test the batteries. Hope this helps.

Sorry but you have to test The circuit maybe The battery is dead try with another battery. Mine is weak it only light 3 hours.

Check the electronic eye on top of the light. I had a similar problem and it was the electronic eye. I bought a replacement at Home Depot for a little under $10 and that took care of it. Hope you can figure it out!

Go to the camera menu and then to settings. Maybe the brightness and contrast are too high. If not is not fixing it I would call Swann tech support at 1800 627-2799. they are open 24/7. If they can not fix it they will replace it if is still within warranty. Good luck

That happens sometimes. Hit shift (2nd) and the arrow up to increase the brightness. Keep doing that until you can see the numbers.

Your second batteries block are new?. There are no much to test, if with new batteries the led remains off... Warranty. Is very possible internal damage.

Buy a new one. When these have anything go wrong, it is cheaper to buy a new one than try and fix. I had problems with the light on mine, and it was not the light, but something in the wiring. I purchased a new one from Amazon. Very happy

After installing make sure both screws are tightened in good . Then the cover has to be on and the screw holding cover has to be all the way tight.If that does not get it the new lamp may be defective.

I had the same problem with my initial order of this item; therefore I requested an exchanged and once again the item was not functioning. I suppose to light up once the batteries are installed. Unfortunately, I finally requested a full refund. I think it's probably due to their shipping method (soft packaging via USPS) which can damage the interior components.

With a multi meter check to make sure the batteries are fully charged. OR insert a new set of regular C batteries to confirm.Make sure you have the batteries inserted correctly.The negative of the battery goes on the springs. If no joy you probably have a blown bulb or an open power circuit. Return for a replacement.Its a great light!

I changed the battery in mine also. One lantern briefly worked but when dark after 2 nights. The other did not light, even with a new battery. Sorry!!

Have you removed the tabs from the battery compartment? If not, take off the top of the light to access and remove the tabs. I had this same issue :-)
