I bought this lantern, but it will not stay on and it is like a strobe light when I hold the button. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I think your lantern is out of order. I suggest you need to change another one or return to shop which you brought.

Hello, the lantern is still in the demo mode that is pre-set at the factory. All you have to do is take out the batteries and put them back in again. There was a label on my lantern with instructions as well as in the instruction pamphlet on how to do this. Hope it works, otherwise return it.

Mine broke (the switch) shortly after I purchased it. I've previously commented that this is a poorly made product. Return it if you can.

Not sure, but it sounds like the DEMO feature is still enabled. There are instructions on the packaging how to make it work normally - but if you've thrown out the packaging I think it was just a matter of taking out the batteries and waiting 30 seconds or something. Try that.

All i did was screw it into a light fixture and it rotates on its own inside the bulb. If your's isn't rotating it may be broken. :o(

I have experienced similar issues with my brand new light. These things are poorly made and do not function well at all. I would not recommend this product to anyone. I consider it a waste of money.

exactly the same happened to me, I have no answer , I use the flashlight no screwed up to the end, and besides the light isnt so strong according the price of the item, It wasnt a good business to me, sometimes we win and sometimes we lose, this buy is one of the last, have a good day.

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!!

My light did the same thing. I unscrewed the head with the LEDs from the body where the batteries are. I was checking for lose or burnt pieces. After I put it back together it started working and has worked fine ever since. I believe the lights worst problem is little to no quality control at the manufacturer.

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.

You have to flip the switch to the on position. After that you just have to touch the face of the ring to the "glass" part of the lantern and it should light up.

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.

For me, when that occurs, it means it is time to replace the battery or you can try pressing the numlock button. Numlock makes that light stay on. If that doesn't work, you can try contacting VIOTEK support. They are very quick to help and friendly at that.

I just put the batteries in my lantern a few days ago. It seems to me when the light is off and you push the button it comes on on high , click the button again right away and it goes to low. If you leave it on high and then push the button it will start to flash.P

I think the best thing to do is to contact the company and ask them. They have super customer service, and will get right back to you when you email them. I love the lantern and spot light I purchased. They hold a charge for weeks if you don't fully discharge them. I also love that they have a low setting, high setting and an off button. You can also charge them with the provided usb cord. If you are hiking, you can hang them off your backpack and charge them along the way.

I recommend a long handled lighter. You simply need to light the fuel "cell" and hold the lantern until it has filled with enough hot air to float!

Sorry to say , I think you got a lemon .. My light stays on and it still is working great ...

I don't think so, I am having the same problem with my light. I know it won't be long I will have to change the battery because of it. I just hope its not dead when I get ready to use it.

It lites up once u press the button like a flash light, if it doesn't do that then you might want to check the battery/ it's broken :)

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.
