I bought 2 of these. Both have a problem. They work fine for a couple hours then start to flicker on and off. Suggestions?

I bought several of these and have been using this for about 3 months without any problem. Either the supply voltage may be low or the supply connection is intermittent.

Hi, sorry for the inconveniences. First please kindly confirm the working voltage is steady, secondly, the driver may not work properly. If you have any problem with your order, please kindly contact our customer service for replacement.

Ours flickered too but we thought it was the circuit and when we tried to return them it was too late.

I have two and have not noticed any flickers. I use the on a dimmer and they are great.

It flickered when I turned it on during the daytime, then turned off. I think perhaps this was to show that the light was installed correctly.

My guess is you got a defective one. They are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so it wouldn't be a long shot if you ended up getting one that was malfunctioning the way you are describing. My advice is to just send it back to Amazon so they can replace it with another one. I know it's an inconvenience, but in the end, you'll be glad you did. It's a great light, especially when it works the way it's supposed to.

Mine flickers a bit no matter which bulb I have in. Don't know why or if it has happened to anyone else but overall it works

My first one failed like yours did almost immediately. I got it replaced. The new one has been fine, and I use it several hours every night.

I have had no problems at all with mine. Send back and ask to just exchange the ones not working. Good luck!

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.

I believe it's a defective LED driver or at least one of the components in that power circuit. I had similar problem with one of the 18 units after 2 months of used. I would recommend contacting the seller to see if they can send you a replacement. I plan to do the same this week. It should not happen.

Make sure the batteries are positioned correctly. I had the same problem and then reversed the batteries. It's been working great since then.

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

I have noticed this as well. This seems like a potential electrical problem which could be dangerous. However no danger here, the control started to blink after a few days then stopped working completely. Sent it back to Amazon

I'm having the same problem- they were working so well then yesterday off and on static and today it just turned off. New batteries didn't help either.

I have two of these two-cell Maglites that are about 2-3 years old. One of them has started dimming just as you describe, but the other works perfectly. If I turn the dimming one off for a few hours, it works fine when I turn it back on, but only for maybe 30 seconds or so. Then it dims way, way down again.Frustrating. Maybe it is a bad switch or a short-circuit somewhere.

Hi - we had a similar problem and contacted the company. They were extremly helpful and replaced the unit . A pain shipping it back but the replacement was quick and the second unit works perfectly .

No flicker, the led light goes completely off. I've had mine for over a year - no problems.
