Is the bulb suppose to lit when button is pressed. Mine came with no plastic separator to remove. Wonder if battery is discharged.

(On mine) there is nothing that lights up when the button is depressed. There is a small round emitter that sends an infrared (invisible to human eye) beam to the front of the camera when the button is pressed. The camera must be programmed via menu to accept the signal. Since there was no plastic seperator on the one you received, i guess it is possible the battery is discharged.

I'm fairly certain mine does every time. Battery may be dead. I'll go test mine and if it doesn't light every time, I'll post back to you.

Mine just arrived. I can't make the light work no matter which way I put the batteries in, nor is there a switch or button to push to turn it on if it did work. What's the story with the "5 LED" light?

There are batteries inside the light. You have to remove the paper that stops it from activating though. Mine works but it is always better to have spare in case the batteries inside are dead on arrival!

Make sure it's facing down. It has an auto shut off if your are looking Down at the wand at the bulb. Good luck

There is no bulb, it's a LED, should never need replacing, however, it should be a simple and ordering the upper part of the light, my suggestion would be to just purchase another one if this occurred... Might also check into warranty with Maglite

If I remember right, I think there was a plastic pull tab that went in between the batteries and the unit itself. It sounds like the lamp is in the "On" position, but it goes out because the tab is separating the contact between the batteries and the unit. Check that and see if it works, or make sure the batteries are seated in the lamp properly.

The flashlight is poorly put together. You should unscrew the top of the flashlight and check the button. That was wrong with mine.

No, that's part of the bulb and needs to stay in place. As I remember there was a warning in the directions not to remove it, but just to be sure, I checked my light bulb and that part is in there.

it should just sort of clicked in. I had to adjust it a couple of times because even after I thought that it had seated properly the bulb would turn off while watching television causing me to worry that the bulb was bad. I also checked the wiring and pushed from the back of the housing toward its front which makes me believe that the wiring would not make proper contact to the male end that's built into the television. Hope this makes sense.

With our as soon as we turn the switch to the "ON" position it lit up. If you have brand new batteries in it I'd send it back for an exchange. We love ours. Good luck!

I've noticed mine does not start up very well. Twist the bulb as if removing and then reinstall. It won't start immediately. Also, the indicator is not an LED like it looks, just a lens to the inside. Turn of the lights or shield ambient light, it might be on, you just can see it.

Have you checked for a loose wire? I would say buy another bulb maybe you have a faulty bulb. Have not had any problems with mine. Everyone who sees it for the first time is very impressed!

I am no expert by any means but that's what my old one was doing before I installed the new one. They say not to touch the bulb. Did u try reinstalling it? Maybe u got a defective one, I don't know. Maybe blow some air in there to remove some dust? Again I'm not an expert, but for me no issues.

Mine did the same thing, and the only thing that I can see is one of the L.E.D that is entwined with each other has burnt out, already, these are supposed to be LED which last for a long time, and I can attest to this because I'am an electrician, this light is substandard, and is not worth the cardboard box that it is shipped in, and amazon says "its to late for an exchange or refund, so if you already brought it, which I imagine your already did, sorry, this sucks, and I will not be purchasing anything else from amazon.

Yes, I wondered the same thing when I took the bulb out to remove the packaging around it. It seems to work fine. I took the bulb out of one of my other blacklights and it does the same thing, so maybe it's normal.

mine did not come with a replacement bulb. It does not work/function very well either, very temperamental. If you don't hold it just right, the light flickers on and off. We don't use it very often because of this. Good luck

Mine did the same thing. Can you unscrew the bottom and check and see if the bulb is screwed on tightly? Otherwise, I'd check with the seller.
