I then purchased light with batteries. shaft too large for supplied batteries. Am I missing something?

I have purchased two different sizes of CREE flashlights. One takes the small blue batteries shown in your picture. The other takes a larger battery. Please contact your seller to get the correct ones.

i haven't recieved my amazon order for this yet but have one from a previouse merchant. it is made to handle lithium 14500 rechargable, or standard AA batteries. just put one in and try it. works great!

Sounds like they sent you a flashlight that takes 18650 batteries that are slightly larger than the 14500 batteries. Is the shaft too long and just a tad too wide. If so it means it is for the 18650 batteries. Go to any store that specializes in batteries, take the flashlight and see if the 18650 batteries fit in it. If they do, they sent the wrong flashlight or the wrong batteries.

This flashlight uses the standard AA batteries. Make sure to remove the cardboard insert from the flashlight too

The CREE lights use a special 3.7v rechargeable. They are larger than AAs, which, BTW, only put out 1.5v (1.2 if using rechargeable AAs. Could that be your issue?

I ordered the same flashlight from two different vendors and there is a difference in quality of construction, same design, but you can tell they were made in different factories.

I hung mine from the same chains as my old fluorescent fixture.I don't remember if it was set up for it or if I modified it.Either way, it was a cake walk to hang it from chains.

The listing has the models recommended. With longer screws it can take lights a bit larger than 1".

My flashlight shaft is 1" in diameter it doesn't sound like it will secure it firmly. So will it?

I wanted to do the same thing, but I was told by mechanics the wires to the light hornest were to small and could burn under a heavy load. So I wired to the battery. Got the 50 amp fuse from a audio store.

we had the same problem - just a hair too long for where it needed to go. wound up cleaning the old one well, and discovered it still worked! still is! the #s on both bulbs were the same. I don't get it.

Kind of an odd little thing. Lights should have a hole on bracket and lights have a corresponding threaded tip. Tighten down with black plastic cap. BTW, there is something very wrong with the wiring in these lights they burn thru batteries and the jockey won't hold a sony battery. I made something to wedge them in place. I have a Newer brand light that uses batteries at 1/10 of the rate. This is a crappy product.

I ended up returning this fixture because it was a little bigger and bulkier than what I wanted. Check out lumens.com. They have tons of selections and their customer support is probably the nicest and most helpful of any website I have ever dealt with.

No, you should have gotten a lamp with this. Open the zipped up battery section, I've heard they store it there sometimes.

I returned mine because the batteries would not fit. Had a $10 one I ordered at the same time that worked well.

Get yourself a long thin screw driver to get to the tiny screws. Unscrew, insert batteries, rescrew.

Hi - I ordered this a few weeks ago to plug into a brand new outdoor light fixture I purchased at Lowes, so I could insert a regular incandescent 25 watt lightbulb, and that size sounds about right. I can go home and measure it tonight and get back with you. Karen

Check to see if you put them in correctly. We had not problem with this flashlight.

I think the issue is that your light has a 1" diameter & all compatible lights listed are 1.25". Your light will fit but it might not be be secure.

My two lamps are still putting out enough light. I haven't replaces batteries yet.I recall seeing that the existing batteries were rechargeable batteries. They did not look any different from the ones that are at a local hardware store. I suggest taking the top off the lamp and removing the screws that hold the panel to the metal top. You should have easy access to the batteries. Good luck.Ric G

I talked with someone who informed me that the batteries with xl were longer lasting. The picture shown looks like my battery. Get one and see if it fits. Or go on the dewalt website and see if there is a matching number.

You would need a special hexagonal mount. This light's battery is C cell diameter.
