Why does this light seem so positional? First one quit when I moved it. Second one quits if I tip it so I'm not touching it. Great when it works.

I have two of them and have not experienced any such problem. I would suggest that you exchange them.

For some reason the connections shake loose in shipping inside the light. You could try making sure they're all connected properly. UNPLUG the light, remove the 4 screws and just wiggle all the connectors to make sure they're tight. Replace the cover and try it again. I did this on the 2nd one (same problem) and it fixed it! Good Luck!!!

I have two of these two-cell Maglites that are about 2-3 years old. One of them has started dimming just as you describe, but the other works perfectly. If I turn the dimming one off for a few hours, it works fine when I turn it back on, but only for maybe 30 seconds or so. Then it dims way, way down again.Frustrating. Maybe it is a bad switch or a short-circuit somewhere.

It seems like this is par for the course. One of the three lamps never works, the second will work for a while. But then my blue one has been working faultlessly for 18 months. Go figure!

Turn the bezel around the bulb. This may take a try or two until you get the feel for it. If that doesn't work, there's a battery or bulb problem. I love the flashlight!

Mine lights or flashes when motion is detected. It does not stay on steady. This is a good replacement because unlike some others it works with any incandesant bulbs and it works great on a dimmer switch. With others, you cannot use a dimmer or energy efficient bulbs.

start by making sure the light is unplugged and has no power running to it. at the ends of the light you will see the end caps , simultaneously twist each end either clockwise or counter clockwise and the light will come loose where you shouldbe able to slide out. Hope this helps

right out of box one of the two lights I purchased did not light. I had to return. it was the model available prior to the model in picture. don't know if it was damaged in shipping? if you need to get another to match other ones purchased act quickly, they have limited production runs and the style will probably change. the model in picture has day light sensor, so even in low light it may not light even if you put your finger over round sensor on top of lamp. hope this helps you

we don't use this in the "on" position for long periods of time to get your answer. however, we have used the light for an hour or so several times and it has worked well. we have not had any issues. i have not yet replaced the batteries since i purchased over one year ago.

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.

The one I bought did NOT stay up. I was having problems from the start, but thought it was me. One day it just quit holding in place; no matter what I tried I could not tighten the armature "holder" enough to get it to stay in place. I have a weight attached to the back-end of the arm to hold it up - a not too sightly solution to a frustrating problem. Too bad, cuz this lamp gives good light.

Mine is the same way. Bulb did not work, replaced it and light works but does not spin.

It seems to me that your OxyLED lamp has a problem. I would send it back to be fixed or replaced. I checked mine again and it always starts and stops if I touch it right over the LED in a fast manner. If It were as erratic as yours is I would be dissatisfied for sure. I ordered on of the other mfgr's lamps that you mentioned. I'll see how it compares. As you said it is $20 less expensive which is a good feature too.Vic NettleI am in Tampa Florida, where are you, Yoon?

The end of the light should just twist off, opposite the lighted end. I have two of these same exact lights and they are both that way. It isn't the easy to turn at first but it should come off with no problem.

I also received a defective light. I ordered 3 because I really like the light and wanted to have spares. One of the lights also would not hold a charge. I returned the light throughout Amazon and asked for a replacement and actually got the replacement before I could mail the bad one back. Great service. Just go to your account and look at your orders. Then mark that you want to return or replace the light. The new light worked just like it should.

Funny! I have mine in a place where the light doesn't project... I may think about moving it!
