Innovage Camping, Backpacking & Hiking - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
Innovage 3,000,000 candlepower spotlight. I had it on charge for the recommended 15 hours, and NOTHING! Light will not work!
It sounds frustrating that your spotlight isn't working even after charging it for the recommended duration. Let's try to troubleshoot the issue. Here are a few steps you can take:
- Check the Charging Connection: Ensure that the spotlight is properly connected to the charger and that the charger itself is plugged into a functioning power outlet. Sometimes, the connection might be loose or faulty.
- Inspect the Battery: If the spotlight has a removable battery, check to see if it's properly seated in the spotlight. If it's not removable, you might need to skip this step.
- Test the Charger: Try using the charger with another device to see if it's functioning properly. If the charger works with another device, it's likely not the issue.
- Look for Indicator Lights: Some spotlights have indicator lights to show when they're charging or fully charged. Check to see if any indicator lights are functioning as they should.
- Contact Customer Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it's possible there's a defect with the spotlight itself. Contact the manufacturer's customer support for assistance. They may offer troubleshooting tips or be able to provide a replacement if the spotlight is still under warranty.
If you've tried these steps and still can't get your spotlight to work, reaching out to customer support is probably your best bet. They can offer more specialized assistance based on the specific model of your spotlight.

Where can I find replacement parts for my rechargeable lantern?
It's great that you're looking to revive your rechargeable lantern! Here are some steps you can take to find replacement parts and ensure your lantern is in working condition:
- Check with the Manufacturer: Start by contacting the manufacturer of your rechargeable lantern. They may offer replacement parts for your specific model, including the light tubes. You can inquire about replacement batteries as well.
- Search Online Retailers: Look for online retailers specializing in selling replacement parts for lanterns and flashlights. Websites like Amazon, eBay, or specialized outdoor equipment stores may carry the replacement light tubes you need. Make sure to check if they ship to Canada.
- Visit Local Hardware or Outdoor Stores: Explore hardware stores, camping supply stores, or outdoor equipment retailers in your area. They may have replacement light tubes or similar products that are compatible with your lantern.
- Consider Universal Light Tubes: If you cannot find the exact replacement light tubes for your lantern, consider purchasing universal light tubes that fit the size and specifications of your lantern's sockets. Be sure to measure the dimensions of the sockets and compare them with the specifications of the replacement tubes.
- Test the Battery: Before purchasing replacement parts, it's a good idea to test the battery to see if it still holds a charge. If you have a compatible charger, you can try charging the battery and observing its performance. If the battery no longer holds a charge or shows signs of leakage, you'll need to replace it.
- Inspect for Damage: Since the lantern has been in storage for several years, carefully inspect it for any signs of damage or wear, especially around the battery compartment and electrical components. If you notice any corrosion or damage, it's best to address those issues before using the lantern.
By following these steps, you should be able to find replacement parts for your rechargeable lantern and get it back into working condition. If you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to contact customer support or seek assistance from a local retailer.

How do you take apart a bushneell 600 lumens flashlight
Taking apart a flashlight, including a Bushnell 600 Lumens flashlight, may not be recommended, as it can void the warranty and potentially damage the device. However, if you have a specific need to disassemble it, here are some general steps to follow:
1. Remove the batteries: Ensure the flashlight is turned off, and remove any batteries to prevent any accidental activation or electrical shock.
2. Look for screws or openings: Most flashlights have screws or openings around the head or tail cap that allow access to the internal components.
3. Unscrew components: Use the appropriate screwdriver or tool to remove any visible screws holding the flashlight together. If there are no screws, try gently twisting and separating the parts.
4. Be cautious with wires: If your flashlight has internal wires and circuitry, be extremely careful not to damage them while disassembling the flashlight.
5. Document your steps: Take photos or notes as you disassemble the flashlight to help you remember

COASTHP7 flashlight bulb replacement ?
Try contacting COAST directly. I think they give a Lifetime Warranty on their flashlights. Ask for the repairs department. You never know, they might do it for you under the warranty. There's no harm in asking them.

How do chemical hand warmers work?
I actually
just did a lesson on this with my students. When the chemical hand warmer is
removed from the outer packet and exposed to oxygen, it produces an exothermic
chemical reaction, which is a reaction that gives off heat. The result of this
reaction is iron oxide or rust.
