FLOWLIGHT TROUBLESHOOTING
Most apparently “faulty” owlight behavior is easily remedied. A truly defective owlight can always
be sent back for free repair or replacement, but generally they just require a good charged battery,
or a little care!
1. Use only rechargeables or good alkalines. The circuitry is optimized for rechargeables. The
voltage amplier draws a lot of power, so cheapo batteries don’t last long.
2. Your battery is low. Dim orange light? Flashes and turns o? Won’t respond to the button? Try a
battery that you are sure is good; switch your batteries around with other lights to check.
3. There is something obstructing battery contact! Check that the clear battery pull-tab is block-
ing the battery contact. Check that your batteries are clear of physical debris. Sometimes the wrap-
per on the battery itself tears away and blocks the contact.
4. There is oxidation on your contacts. Do the battery or spring contacts have black marks or
debris on them? This may be oxidized metal dust from the battery and/or battery contacts caused
by friction/vibration. Clean the battery and battery springs with your ngers, a clean cloth or eraser,
and apply a tiny bit of petroleum jelly (vaseline) to the springs. This works wonders to prevent
future oxidation and promote electrical conductivity.
