I spent the extra $ to get the 26650 battries, they are to long for the light, because when I go to screw the end cap on, it shut the light off because it bottoms out. Questions is how do I fix this issue?

Yes I ran into the same thing What you have to do is not screw the cap on so tight loosen it up about 1/2 a turn or so then the light should come on and stay on

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.

Return the item. I had the same issue with the light I purchased or call Amazon.

I would guess you just got a defective battery. My experience has been fantastic. I use it almost every night. The beam is brighter than any comparable flashlight I've ever owned. I haven't ever had any problem with the battery holding a charge, and it lasts for a long time. Did you charge it fully before use? You should have. Also, the instructions say to plug it back into the charger after every use. I do this even if I only use it for two or three minutes. Unless you've had it a long time, Black and Decker is pretty good about standing behind their warranties. I'd give them a call.

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 noticed another brand allowed the bulb to be "re-clocked". I think I see that on mine, but in town I never get to go on high beam. I'll have to re-check the 3 tabs to see if I can rotate them up.

It seems to me that your OxyLED lamp has a problem. I would send it back to be fixed or replaced. I checked mine again and it always starts and stops if I touch it right over the LED in a fast manner. If It were as erratic as yours is I would be dissatisfied for sure. I ordered on of the other mfgr's lamps that you mentioned. I'll see how it compares. As you said it is $20 less expensive which is a good feature too.Vic NettleI am in Tampa Florida, where are you, Yoon?

There's a somewhat longish black bar on the flashlight part you press in. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Check and replace the batteries. I had exactly the same problem. I Called the company, their customeer service is great. At there suggestion I found one of my batteries was "defective". Replaced it and all was fine. BE sure the unit is NOT mounted close to a heater vent as warm air from heater can cause unusual activity with the light.

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

Are you using the heavy duty cells that came with the lights? I suggest alkaline batteries..I used the batteries it came with and had no problems. Alkaline lasts longer. They don't drain a lot. Turn lamps off when not shooting, that helps. I'll bet its your power source. Blaise

I thought the same thing but i realized there was a blue sticker over the light. Try taking the sticker off and it should work

I actually shimmed my button with little bits of plastic under the rubber cap, to make the button easier to activate. It's buried and quite stiff. I think you're far more likely to pop off the pocket clip and lose the clip. (happened twice on mine, lucky enough to find it again both times -- And I squeezed closed the part that holds onto the barrel to grip tighter, but i'm not sure of the effectiveness there.) Just make sure the light is INSIDE the pocket, and you should be okay to not lose the flashlight itself. :o)

After trying to take off the front of the flashlight and failing I tried unscrewing the end. It was on tight but it unscrewed. I then tried the batteries first one way and then the other. After that the light worked great.

I am very impressed with my light. I only use the rechargeable battery as I get the brightest results. There are also 5 light settings which can be chosen by turning the light on and "double clicking" the on/off button 1. Brightest 2. Mid brightness 3. Dimmest setting 4. Flash 5. SOS. you may have it on the wrong setting. Also, the lense slides in and out. Compressed would be a very wide light, making it dimmer. Sliding the lense out (grand the head and tail ends and pull) gives a more direct and brighter beam of light. Also. Your battery or batteries may be close to dead. Try replacing the batteries or recharging the battery. Again I prefer the rechargeable. Lastly. You may not be charging your battery fully. It must remain on the charger until full. When you place the battery in the charger the indicator light will light up red. When full it will change to green. And depending when the last time the battery was charged will take a long time. I work overnights at work once a month so I charge it before my overnights start. When the week is over I don't charge it till the next month. I have had it take 24 hours to fully charge. But that's my doing. I'm sure if you charged it once a week or so it probably won't take as long. I hope this helps. I spent $40 on this light and it's the best $40 I ever spent. I dropped the light in a pond and dropped it from 150ft+ in the air and it still works as new. Very tough and reliable light. Like I said. Hope this helps

Hi just remove your top rail and the light has a screw clamp that will keep it in place and put your top rail back on and your done I hope this was helpful.
