Although a smart looking light, it is smaller than i expected and has minimal illumination. I hang it on the front of my house, this faces NW. The light goes on after dusk,but i would describe this as an "accent light". It does not provide bright illumination. You might try pla es it more in more direct SE light for comparison. Bottom line, lovely small accent light.

there is no button to turn on and off it is solar operated you leave it in the sun during the day and as soon as it gets dark the light comes on it lasts a few hours depending on how much sunlight it gets during the day

To honest, this light is worthless! I received mine with shattered glass panels and the circuit board wires weren't attached, I had to attach the white wire. My light did the same thing, only came on for a few minutes and then it went off. I assumed it needed direct sunlight, so I charged it for an entire day, it worked for a few hours and it went out completely. This light is beautiful in design but absolutely poorly manufactured. You should get your money back! I purchased another solar light at Garden Ridge for on $14.99 and it works great. I decided to make this worthless light into something, so I made a bird house out of it. Hope this helps you. To honest, this light is worthless!

Attachment to previous message.....Take a look at the solar security lights. I purchased 4 Swiftly Done (motion activated) Bright Exterior LED Solar Powered Lights. I have them in back (wooded lot) they work really well, even on cloudy days they put out bright light.

There will be a small light that stays on on the on/off switch. The top brighter light turns off when you push the button twice. The little light isn't too bright. Just turn it away from you. Hope this helps.

It should turn on automatically in the dark. I'm not aware of any switch that affects this so suspect it is defective.

Tap once on the silver base is for dim. Tap another time it gets brighter, the third tap is the brightest. When it is at the brightest tap one more time and it switches off. Then u start over again! Hope it helps :)

hold down the button with the light bulb on it, and push the up and down arrows...each color also has two different settings, once you find a color you like, if you just push the light bulb button the color will get a little brighter. as far as the status light, it only comes on when you hit connect. it blinks blue....mine has never been on other than that

Hit the light power button, it comes on. Hit it again, it goes off. Press and HOLD the button, the light dims to off, then back to full on again.

Yes, you just have to hold the on button for 2 seconds. If you hold it again, the light comes back on and the must goes intermittent. The instructions tell you how to do it.

There is a small circle where the light is. Use the enclosed key and stick it in the hole until u hear a click. This can be done as soon as u open the unit.

That's what I wondered too, if it needed to "warm up" first, or be in an extra-dark room. You may have a faulty one too like me. I had to tap on it near the bottom & turn it upside down & hold it it at an angle to get it to light up-not what you should do to make it work! Email Amazon & they'll fwd it to Scientifics & they should email you back w/phone #. I called them today & they said Fedex would pick it up next day & send me another one. So hope next one works! Good luck with yours! :)

Sure, easy, Jeff. On the TOP there are 2 sections: the longer section contains the little LED bulbs. The other shorter section, on top, has an oblong gray shape with a sort-of slim black v-shape inside of it. With your finger TOUCH the top of the oblong shape. Voila! Light goes on. Slide your finger down to the bottom of the little shape. light goes out. that's it. The whole thing is touch activated. No switches! Let me know if this was helpful! (You can also just touch the top of the grey shape to turn on and just touch the bottom to turn off. (Sliding your finger up and down gives you gradations of light from brightest to dimmest and off.

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

Follow the instructions. Or Push the black (or RED) triangular looking Button. And PULL on the the Plastic Side where the light shines through. It took me a bit to figure it out, But all is well now. USE AAA batteries

Are you using incandescent light bulbs? If you are, try holding the light button on for a few seconds to see if the lights begin to brighten.

Does the light come on at all? If no red light comes on when any of the 3 buttons are pushed--1--change out the battery 2--check that the battery is installed properly with respect to polarity (+/-)

Try holding the power button for a couple of seconds. The light cycles they 3 light settings.
