I plugged in the power source and pushed the power button and it made a hissing sound a couple of times and now lamp light is flashing red. Why?

I would return the lamp you got. I did not have this problem. Make sure u ordered the correct replacement.

Make sure the lamp housing door is securely closed. I had the same issue, and it turned out that it was because the lamp housing door wasn't closed.

On my unit the light is red, and it starts flashing red when I place a drained battery into it for charging. Once the battery is charged it turns green and stays green until I remove the battery to use it.

You probably need to return it. The lamp should turn on/off when you toggle the module button.

Make sure that it is installed completely. The first time I put mine in, it did the same thing. It wasn't completely in the "slot" or whatever you want to call it. Open the side panel and re-insert the lamp. Make sure it fits snug. Also make sure to put the initial cover back on tightly. I didn't and the light just kept blinking.

All I can tell you about that is the other day I was using the flashlight which eventually became dim. I replaced it on the lamp. Although connected to the AC adapter, the red light did not come on and the lamp would not operate from the switch on the base. I thought I had a problem with either the base or the AC adapter. The next time I entered the office where I keep it, however, the lamp was brightly shining and the red light was on. I concluded that the flashlight part must be charged at least somewhat before the lamp can operate from the AC adapter current. I hope this helps.

That long whistle sound pops on when power supply is not sufficient. At least from my experience. Try a much lower power draw device on it like a mini Christmas light set and see if the problem persists.

I just plug mine in the red light comes on and then I leave it there till I need to use it. Yours might be defective...

The red light won't stay on. I've plugged it both in the wall and on my computer and I have no indication that the charge is holding. Is this happening to anyone else or should I return it? I only got it today.

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

Make sure the arrows on power adapter connector and the light strip are lined up. Also hit some other buttons on the remote. Could be a damaged sensor.

I just went and unplugged mine and plugged it right back in and it worked fine. Nice little lamp.

It is probably broken or your GFI outlet has been tripped. Does it make any noise and still light up? Use your warranty to get a new one.

I discovered on my model ( the tower version) that you have to unplug the unit, and while holding down the "check filter" button, plug in the unit, the red light will flash, release the button and then the light goes off.

I have no problem with my lamp. I use it mostly with the USB port on my computer. If you hold down gently on the on/off switch the lamp will dim. Tap the on/off switch and the light will go out, tap the on/off switch again and it should come back on in bright mode - at least that is what mine does.
