I purchased these lights in December and have had to replace pillar batteries 2x and the remote battery as well. What is happening?

Be sure to switch the candle batters off during long periods of non-use. There may be a very small drain through the circuitry on the batteries even when the candles are not illuminated.

We've had the same problem. I'm very disappointed with the purchase and quality.

I have no answer, mine work just fine. In fact I purchased at a local store first, and the remote never worked. When I ordered from AmazonI had no problem at all.

I haven't had that issue with mine either. I use mine mainly for edging which puts a greater strain on the battery. My battery will normally last between 30 and 45 minutes and all lights go out. I would definitely call their customer service and ask about it.

Your second batteries block are new?. There are no much to test, if with new batteries the led remains off... Warranty. Is very possible internal damage.

It is not the battery. Try reinstalling the firmware.If that does not do it there is a problem with the circuit board in the remote. I had to purchase a new remote.

We've had our Harmony 676 for about 3 years. I replaced the batteries early in December and got the "replace batteries" message again before the end of the month. Maybe the batteries weren't very fresh. That's the fastest the remote has used batteries.MJH

I haven't had to change mine yet. Had similar frustration with another remote and took it to Batteries Plus franchise and they figured it out. Chances are it will need a battery they sell and not available at Home Depot, etc. That's my suggestion.

If you have access to a multimeter check to make sure your batteries are actually charged. If not maybe someone you know can help you or perhaps visit a local electrical supply store, Radio Shack, etc. If the batteries are fully charged, do make sure you have then installed correctly. I can't tell you how many times I've installed batteries incorrectly even though I absolutely know to check which way they go before I put them in. If your batteries are charged and they're installed correctly, then I can only assume it has something to do with the circuitry of your headlight.....could be a lot of things. Sorry to tell you that my headlight did not last long and its problem was poor quality circuitry....the circuit board in the battery compartment self-destructed. It fried itself one day while I was wearing it. If your light is now garbage, try this one: Weiita H807 Starlight LED Headlamp, 300 Lumen, available on Amazon. It's similar but much better IMO, plus the company is great to deal with. Hope this helps.

I have not tried fresh new batteries in the light yet. the batteries that came with it are operating, but have weakened. I had the light on for about 10 hours before it weakened. I am sure some Duracell would do much better.

I don't think so, I am having the same problem with my light. I know it won't be long I will have to change the battery because of it. I just hope its not dead when I get ready to use it.

check the flashlight mine was doing the same and the battery was bad and the flashlight it self had to be repaired also. the dealer in austin repairs them for free GT"S IN AUSTIN,TEXAS

That would be my guess (but i'm no expert). did you put in a new battery or is this the old one? i didn't have any lighting issues, but my battery was new. it did take 24 hours for my security alarm (where i put the new battery) to reset itself, but your issue could be completely different. sorry i can't be more help.

Sounds like a defect, I would contact somebody and get a new one. Hopefully they'll take care of you because this is a great light. I ordered mine months ago and carry it with me everywhere and it works like a champ! I haven't had to change the batteries yet either!

Connie, while I can't be sure of the answer to your voltage question, I can say that I was experiencing an illumination issue as well and the new battery corrected the problem. If you haven't replaced the battery in several years, I'd start there.

I had a problem within 30 days where the light did not charge (it was on in the daylight so the sensor did not turn it off and the batteries discharged.) Lowe's replaced it. Make sure that the batteries are seated properly and that there is no corrosion on the contacts...

Cheaper to just buy a new light. I have learned to just seal them thoroughly, To keep the bugs from shorting it out. Hope this helps....

My light did the same thing. I unscrewed the head with the LEDs from the body where the batteries are. I was checking for lose or burnt pieces. After I put it back together it started working and has worked fine ever since. I believe the lights worst problem is little to no quality control at the manufacturer.

I just purchased these last month, so I am not sure. I did try replacing a batter to make two work, to no avail. The batteries are VERY difficult to find. I would not recommend these lights.
