Troubleshooting ATAK Solar Motion Lights
Question:
Well, I just bought 2 of you 700’s and haven’t tested it in the darkness yet but in the dark closet I can’t get either one to come on wit motion. I did charge both in the sun for 8 hours. Just wondering if any of these are defective and if I should return it to Walmart. Maybe both of them will work when it gets dark outside but I could get either to come on by motion in the dark closet. I turn the switch on and it lights up for 15 seconds and goes off. But motion doesn’t turn either one of them on. Am I doing something wrong?

When these lights are charged you should be able to turn them on in your dark closet. It appears that you have done everything right. You charged the lights in the sun for eight hours, so their battery should be charged. If I am troubleshooting, my only thought is whether or not the solar panel got eight full hours of sunlight. What I mean is, was it sunny the entire time your ATAK Solar Motion Light - Weatherproof - 460 Lumens, part # PT701, was getting charged? If that is the case, returning the lights might be your best option.
I have included a video demo below.
