M. Craiger has the right answer! Sometimes I will check batteries by putting my hand over the solar panel to see if the light comes on. If it doesn't I need to place unit in the sun for a charge or replace the batteries. We love ours and they light up the campground every evening.

Take the top off. On the bottom of the top tere is a little plastic strip that needs to pulled out. This makes the light work. I don't think the instructions really tell you that. The lights are off during the day and as soon as it starts getting dark...they will work. If I can be of any further assistance let me know. Gook Luck. CA

Did you pull out the little plastic strip blocking the battery inside the top part of the torch? Once that plastic strip is removed the torch will function on its own, glowing/flickering all night and re-charging in the sunlight all day. I have six of them on my deck. They come on at dusk and burn until about 5 a.m. Love them!

on the underside of the light is a small pin hole. put the wire key into the hole and push - that turns it on. :o)

I wasn't able to find any button so I think you twist it to turn it on. But mine didn't work so I don't know for sure.

No there is no switch. You have to plug it in and it automatically turns on. To turn it off you have to unplug it.

Just to check, you plugged it in and clicked the switch? The light comes on but the ball doesn't rotate? Seems like a defect... mine starts right away.

Mine turned on right away. Try to give it 2 hours of charging. Otherwise you've got a defected one.

Providing it has a battery just run the + wire to the + on your battery and then out a toggle switch in the wire to turn on and off. and then just run the - wire to the - on the battery it simple and easy!

Make sure you charge it and also turn it on. The button on the bottom turns it on.

Allow it to charge with the switch off for a few good sunny days, then try it. If that does not work I would return for a refund. I noticed that ours these not work on nights when the weather had been overcast during the day.

There's no switch. The battery is only needed/activated if you touch the sides.

When I first got mine, I charged it for a least 24 hours. The On/Off switch should function easy to turn the device on/off. I am not sure WHAT is the problem with yours. It very well may be a defected device......?Sorry, Wish you luck...!

I just push the on button and it comes on. Maybe yours is defective. I would contact seller.

there's no switch, there is a connection between battery and light that can be un-plugged

You twist it to turn it on and off. There are no buttons or switches. I use silicone grease to coat the rubber O ring with between uses. I use the light for gigging flounder with it attached to a handle. The battery (especially the Duracell red C cells) last a good while and it has been completely water-proof. I want to purchase 2 more; great light!

It is not powered so I guess it is operated by heat or cold weather? Good luck!

I just leave mine on. There really is no on/off switch... so you would have to unplug it. Had mine more than a year....still working great. Hope this helps you.
