Answer This Question

A:  I purchased four of these lights. Never worked properly. They would not stay on. Changed batteries several times and nothing worked. The batteries are encased on the back of the lamps.

by|Jan 22, 2019

    A:  Remove the unit from the wall/ceiling and open the battery compartment on the back.

      A:  Hello Valued Customer, thank you for reaching out to us with your question. When replacing the batteries on our GE 18in LED Utility Light, simply press in the bottom tab and pull back the cover. Insert 8 AA batteries noting polarity and then replace the cover. With LED lights being such an energy efficient product, products such as this light bar need a brand new, fresh set of batteries, with all batteries in the light being the same brand. Avoid mixing old with new batteries, for this could potentially drain your new batteries quicker. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to respond or give us a call between the hours of 7:00 AM – 8:00 PM Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday at 1-800-654-8483. Thank you.

        A:  The batteries are accessed from the back. It needs to be removed from whatever it's mounted to to access the door. If it was taped up (with double sided tape), then gently peel it off the surface. Hopefully the tape does not cover the battery door. If it was attached with screws, slide the fixture towards the end that does NOT have the touch sensor, about 1/4 inch. This should release the screw heads from their slots and remove it. Remove the battery door and batteries. There are 8 of them, so be sure to remove all of them. The correct orientation of the batteries is shown in the slots the batteries are installed into.

          A:  Light has to be removed. Tab to open battery compartment on bottom of fixture against cabinet. If light is attached with enclosed velco strips light should just pull away from surface. If screwed into wood, shift light to left or right to detach from cabinet.

                  Q:I just bought this, and am planning to install using the tape, but I think I received the wrong type of Velcro stickers. All 4 of my stickers have the same rough side, and they do not attach onto one another, like Velcro does. I am thinking I should have received 2 stickers with the fuzzy side, but instead got 4 stickers all with rough sides. Please advise!

                                A:  There are two sides and they Velcro together on to cabinet. I would not recommend these lights. They have fallen in the middle of the night and scared us. Also, they go through batteries like crazy. Maybe last 2 hours.

                                  A:  Hi Abb, thank you for your question. The double-sided tape will have two paper films on sides. Once you have stick the sticky side to the surface to the fixture, you can peel the other paper film off to mount the fixture.

                                    A:  Did not use tape to mount the light strip to my ceiling so cannot answer your question - was highly skeptical of consumer grade double stick tape adequately holding the device from a durability and reliability perspective. Secured the light strip to the sheetrock sloped ceiling with two of my own screws and plastic mollies, not supplied with the light.

                                    A:  I tried to use the supplied tape under a cabinet. It fell loose onto the counter after a few week. I switched to a 3M tape product that worked.

                                    by|Jan 17, 2021

                                    A:  I did not use the double sided tape that came with the light. I used the 3M command velcro strips. That way I can remove it, change the batteries & put it back up without having to replace the tape. Hope this helps.

It's possible the light has regulated circuitry which will shut down when the batteries get low. Try changing batteries. I use Eneloop rechargeables in mine. Saves money over the long run.
