There was a review of a similar 3LED light that suggested some fixes could be made to this unit, more than just RTV to PCB. What other fixs work here?

Not sure what exactly you mean but I would suggest tightening the light and taping the metal peice that holds the lense in place so it doesn't rattle loose. Also the part where the light snaps into the mount tebds to connect loosely. You could try taping it or permenently gluing it in place in order to fix the loose connection. Also be aware that there is no indicator that warns you of a low battery so always hace it charge over night before you use it. Otherwise you might wind up ob the otherside of town and have the light suddenly go black like I did. Not fun riding along a busy road with no front light. That was an interesting ride home to say the least. I'm just glad it died before I hit the offroad trail around the lake that I had planned on riding around!

Hello E. R.! My sincere regrets on hearing about the issue. A little more information about the actual state of the equipment would be very helpful in assisting. If there is not any backlighting apparent when turning on the unit, it could be a faulty contact under the "On" button or a blown fuse. Was anything spilled on the controller or have you ensured the quality of A/C coming from the wall? If you can, please provide more details on symptoms and what you have tried thus far in troubleshooting. Thanks, and best of luck! :)

Replace the 5wire first and see if it fixes both. Check for loose wire connection on light.

Following back up on here about this. No issues still. Had mine installed in Feb. Took all the gaskets out and RTV siliconed them and put the gaskets back in. I think that's what has saved me. It is still bright and works great!

The bulbs in mine quit working fairly reg. I sent a set back because the light went out within a week, they really need to improve the setup...The last few times the bulb quit I was able to get it working again by clearing the contact points (screw heads ) where the top connects to the bottom. I loosened the small Phillip's screws and retightened them on the wire then I used a tooth pick in the bulb holder to bend the contact points away from the side so it would contact the bulb. So far this has fixed mine the last 3 times they quit. As far as a bulb the only thing I found that MIGHT work is they sell a replacement lcd bulb for the old 3v MINI- MAG flashlights I found one a Lowes $5 for (2) but I haven't tried one yet..It is nice to have the Lights working I hope Hobbs fixes the poor workmanship of the lights I really like the salt & pepper set.

Mary - we haven't had that issue at all with our unit. I would test it in a different wall socket and see if the issue repeats itself. If so, I would replace the bulb and, if your lamp strobes again, I think you have sufficient evidence to point to a flaw in the device. Best of luck. Hope you get it going well enough - my wife is delighted with ours. Joe

Buy a new one. When these have anything go wrong, it is cheaper to buy a new one than try and fix. I had problems with the light on mine, and it was not the light, but something in the wiring. I purchased a new one from Amazon. Very happy

My guess would be the bulb is bad.It's easy to replace but you may want to call a local tv repair place if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself

I would suggest repositioning it in the room, to make sure moving shadows or some other change in light level isn't causing the unit to think it's becoming dark and changing to night mode. Call V-tech support and see what they say, otherwise, yes, I'd agree the unit is defective.

Check out a YouTube video to see correct light sequencing, but it sounds like it's probably broken. I had 2 faulty units before I contacted Eliminator directly and they sent me one that worked properly.

Certainly sounds like you wired it correctly. Just remember that LEDs are polarity sensitive, so make sure your positive is on the red wire. If that is confirmed, then I have nothing more to suggest.

No issue with them yet. If there were, I think I would replace it with one rated for the next higher voltage. This use to happen with some TV's I use to repair, that was the fix. Good luck.

I had the same problem after the light function stopped working. I ended up buying Fuloon 12V Multiple Color 30CM 21 X 5050 LED IR LED STRIP LIGHT Aquarium Lighting Fish Tank Light, with some modifications and adjustments i was able to put in a beautiful muliti functional lighting system. Too bad that the original lighting system was so cheap.

Return the item. I had the same issue with the light I purchased or call Amazon.

The electronic components in this are not good quality. I've had two units and both green LED arrays went out. May be able to replace a component and get it running again.

The wiring may need to be soldered to the mother board or replaced. I'd take it to a t.v. repair shop.
