Issues with Solar Barricade Lights?

There are a couple different problems or issues you can run into with solar barricade lights.  Believe it or not, some people have trouble turning them on.  There is usually a tool that comes with the lights that you can use to poke into a hole on the front or side of the light and you will find a button inside that hole.

Almost all solar barricade lights go from ‘steady burn’ to ‘flash’ to ‘off’ each time you click the hole.  Another issue can be the amount of time in the sun (if it doesn’t turn on).  If it has been stored for awhile try giving it at least one full day of good sunlight before you figure it is broken.
