    Brinkman Dual Xenon light malfunction

    I`ve had this light very many years but didn`t use it alot. Of course when I did use it, it charged up. It won`t charge now. The little red dot flashes very quickly on to off when plugged in. Is the battery dead and won`t charge? I don`t think you can replace the battery so is this light finished for good?

    After struggling to take it apart I just scrapped it. These stink as far as durability.

    And they have been discontinued.

    The battery is dead.

    It is VERY easy to take apart and replace.

    The battery cost me $12 at my local Batteries Plus store and mine now works as good as new again... I`ve had it for 5 years now.

    I tried to take mine apart to replace one of the bulbs after it blew when it was dropped a whopping one time. Yes, one drop and the light blew. Then I lost the spring while taking it apart. <_<

    Which one do you have? Is it the blue and white one?

    I have 2 of them from when they first came out - was it back in 2007 (?), and they still work great..
    I never leave them charging and keep them in a cabinet until I use them.

    Zac. Any chance you have instructions on how to take it apart? I have 2 that need replacing.

    I`ve been meaning to do a write up on it... will try my best to get to it soon. I just dove right in to mine... it was pretty straight forward.

    I also replaced the battery in mine. Fairly easy to take apart but I don`t remember the specifics now. Just have to be gentle with the clips.
