Isn't this supposed to move air? I put a lighter in front of it when it's going fast and it doesn't even flicker

sure.. it's supposed to be a fan. i suspect not enough heat or it is defective.

I don't know about your lighter test, but I know that if I put a sheet of copy paper in front of the fan, you can see it pushing it away. This is not a high-powered fan that forcefully blows air - but at least in my case I find that it does just enough. It sets up a constant air current in the room that moves the heat around very nicely. Definitely a positive improvement in air flow.

I actually had the same issue. What I did was check the connection to the tail light and noticed the connection there was bad, it has to be connected very tight. I also secured the connection in the back of the radio by placing tape on the back to hold it tight in the radio. If there was any bump, it would flicker. Also, I tightned down the screws that help the camera to the license plate. Any kind of movement will cause a flicker. Hope this helps.

not sure why your unit doesn't fire...have you checked the igniter? Mine only refused fire once because I wasn't releasing the igniter correctly...I used a long nosed gas grill lighter that day...then I figured out to push and release the igniter correctly and have not had any problems since Really do like this gas grill!!

Yes.. But with all butane lighters when they get low you need to drain out the air before refilling or it will flicker out.

I do not use the flicker mod. But I tried it last night and it flickers quite fast.

I have not had this problem is the bulb touching anything . There must be room around the bulb it should be centered in the air handler with room around the bulb so it does not touch hope this helps . they have different size units for what ever size air handler you have

I don't know of any actual motioning...mine doesn't move, just beautiful lit up.

I put an LED bulb in it, I did not have the flicker that dhunter91505 mentioned. I've looked for one that was chrome-dipped but couldn't find one.

I don't own this item anymore but I had the same problem with mine. It would eventually light. Try turning it on and shutting your propane tank off. When you turn the tank back on open the valve slowly. Wait a minute or so and then try lighting it again. Mine worked great when it was lit.

I got the first lighter.. Filled it with butane.. It didn't light. I complained, a 2nd was shipped..and that one also failed to work. Sparks, but no flame. JUNK!

Does it do anything at all? Did you slide down the safety? Do you hear the click or hear gas coming out when you hold the button down? Are you positive you filled it properly? If its full and the button depresses (safety disengaged) but no gas comes out when you hold the button, you probably have a gas flow problem. If the button depresses and you don't hear the click of the spark... you probably have an issue with the ignition. Just be sure you're using it right before you decide its actually a bad unit. If its full and sparks properly... maybe also check the flow adjustment on the side to make sure its turned up enough.

Do you hear the motor speed drop as well? And are you running the hot air rework at the same time. It did it to me the other night I had the iron, rework wand, and the smoke absorber on all at the same time. And when the heating element kicked in my air would drop. Then come back when the iron turned off, then start again when the iron needed to heat. Did you remove the red plug from the bottom? And if that fails crack it open and see if any lines are loose, or cracked. If all else fails write me back and I'll help ya more if I can.-patrick

Sounds like it's broken. I had one that didn't light up and it was broken. You don't need to press anything to make it light up. It should just do it! I pressed all the buttons on my first one and, still, nothing happened. It was broken. The second one I had (the part that you plug into the lighter) lit up and then the little square on the cord also showed radio stations.~hope this helps and good luck!

Zippos do that. Nothing is wrong with it. It does it because the Zippo isn't sealed like other lighters. Get a Zippo Butane if you want to avoid this issue

If yours isn't doing like this video at the beginning then return it. It should look like lighting in the sky quick flashes etc...Hope it helps...really is a great light! http://youtu.be/CZXFgRxgj34

Mine does without a problem. Location of lighter could make a difference, but it appears that the design allows for use in most locations. Worth a try.

Mine does not flicker when either raising or lowering the light level on any setting. Based on this limited data I would conclude that flickering is not normal. LOL, I say that because given a choice between not flickering or flickering, NOT flickering seems to be more reassuring (normal)! Have you contacted the manufacturer?
