Night Hawk

Worked For Sometime Then Went Bonkers!

For almost a year or so, it worked great. Put it out on my side-steps so when I go out the front of the house to walk around to the side, it would come on so I could put Garbage in my Garbage Bins at night. But now it seems to come on and go off constantly without anything there. Even put new batteries in it. My neighbor let me know it was happening. My side steps are made out of wood and after reading some of the earlier comments where their light started smoking, I think I'll try something else now.

Same Ole' Same Ole'

First, thanks to "Ray" from NJ. For clearly being Asian and probably posting from some crappy little building in China where these spotlights are assembled. Along with all the other Junk that is more than likely designed NOT to work on purpose. There's probably like, a designated 6 block area of China where all of this Junk is thought up, manufactured, assembled and then shipped to the US. And every day production stops for this entire area, for about an hour, all the workers gather in one big room and laugh they're *×~ off while they count their money. In my adult life, everything I've ever bought that didn't work, was not just " misleading" but flat out lied about in the advertised description, or was just a plain old pain in the *#★ from go, had "Made in China" stamped on it somewhere. And this joke in a box is no different. Four brand new Duracell (e in you. S) batteries that with my meter, read 97 to 99% battery life installed "correctly" and the spotlight illuminated! OMG, could I truly have just purchased a CPOS (reviated from, Well you get) and it actually works! Holy cow! So I'm getting my drill out and notice it's still on omg come on man and so on. Reinstalled the batteries, googled possible fixes (no av) etc and realized suddenly that I am wasting my time now too, on top of wasting my money. So I quit trying to create functionality for something that was more than likely designed to do exactly what it's doing. Seriously. ND the jokes always on us because we all continue to buy this crap. So some of you really are consumers who purchased this turd in a box and had it work properly, I couldn't be happier for you. But if ANYTHING that is being sold has a higher then 3% negative experience rate based on "overall function and design" then it needs to be amended. As in, not sold period and return back to the drawing board. I know, I know. As many of you are laughing at this concept right now, I knew before I wrote it how unrealistic that would be. A fairy tale. But I never review anything and have just had an unusually unpleasant experience just like this one, repeat itself on about 7 different purchases recently. Even on items that have one teeny tiny part of the manufacturing process take place in the USA, just so the company could put "made in the USA" on it. Which is low, so low. So, to summarize my "review", I assembled it correctly, and the lights on it never cut off. Therefore making this product along with its sole function completely useless.
I personally would recommend NOT buying this product. Especially after reading oh so many other reviews all containing (re the most p) the same 3 issues. Oh, and btw, this CPOS is still illuminated lol. Good luck.

Night Hawk is it as Good as Advertised?

The Night Hawk does work well by motion sensors but it does have limitations that are not mentioned in their advertising. For starters, it says it can be used indoors and outdoors but it fails to tell you that it is not waterproof and needs to be protected from the rain. It is also not as bright as they say. If set up correctly it will pick up movement from 15 feet at most.

Not Good

I don’t usually write reviews but what just happened to me I felt I needed to. I just bought the Night Hawk spotlight yesterday. I was just installing the batteries 5 mins ago when I started smelling smoke like something was burning. I was looking around trying to find where it was coming from when I noticed smoke coming from the battery compartment of the Night Hawk. It scared me so bad that I ran outside with it and threw it on the ground. I was scared that it might blow up in my face. Has that happened to anyone else? Be careful with this product!

Thanks

Thanks everyone for reviews saved my coin & time.

Cycles On-and-off

It worked great for a few weeks but now cycles on-and-off without a triggering event, even when I put in the garage facing the wall where nothing moves.

My 2 daughters bought 2 of the Night Hawk lights for my birthday. Put in new batteries in both neither one works. Do not buy these pieces of crap from China this is a scam and ripoff. Forget customer service. It doesn't exist so don't waste your time or money.

No Good

As many before me have commented, this product is hit or miss (mostly a miss) & the company isn't reputable at all. (no service).

Night Hawk

The light on my Night Hawk will not shut off what do I need to do to make it work correctly.

Nighthawk Light

Easy install works great have two think I get more

Nope! Doesn’t Work Right!

First one didn’t work. Exchanged it. The new one lights up my pathway great. Trouble the light won’t come on until I’m two feet in front of it. Lame!

Thanks

Glad I read the reviews before buying, I was just about to order it. Thanks everyone for taking the time to post the problems.

Worthless

This thing is crap. Installed the batteries and it came on for the 20 seconds and off and no matter what I do it won’t activate again. No motion detection in pitch black or semi-darkness. Take batteries out and put back in lights up and then never again. Waste of money.

WASTE OF MONEY!

I put the batteries in and it flashed on for a second then never again, I pushed the switch to on and still didn't work, I figured maybe it needs to charge or something so I let it sit overnight and still didn't work. Always research before you buy. Smh.

Light Won't Turn off

I put batteries in the unit but the light came on and won't turn off - also has a burning smell.

Doesn't Work at all

I can't get this to come one. I thought I was doing something wrong until I read these reviews. This is just a bad product. Don't waste your money.

Glad I did not order them. Credit card in hand. Thank all of you.

Bummer. Put batteries in and the light never goes off! No number to call tried trouble shooting. Still light! Already mounted on my outside wall. Now will have holes without a Night Hawk. Its definately going back. Junk!

Does not Work

Thought this would be great outside my back door. Waste of money. Won't light up no matter what I do. Motion detector doesn't work. No number on the product guide to call for support. I guess if there was a number, you wouldn't be able to get through anyway. I will be returning it to where I bought it. Very unhappy and highly dissatisfied.

Save Your Money

This thing lights up all night long, when there is NOTHING there. But let me take my dogs outside after dark. Nothing. They walk by it, I walk by it, no light. Contacted the nighthawk company and they were zero help.

Just bought I put the batteries in the thing started smoking as soon as they were stuck in. Not worth risking a fire.

Doesn't Work

Put Batteries in and light came on and has not came on since. Doesn't detect and motion. Worthless.

Only 1 Light Lights up

It lit up when I put batteries in. Broad daylight. And only 1 light works. Can I do something or should I take it back fir a replacement. I really want it.

Never received product

Was charged twice and still have yet to receive product. My child was assaulted and we bought this as a safety precaution. That was October and I bought another system because this never showed.
Two days ago I recieve ANOTHER charge for a product that STILL hasn't shipped and I don't need months later.

Don't waste your time.. They don't answer the phone and will just take your money and not deliver.

No Follow Through!

I purchased three of this lights back in December 2017 and here it is February 2018 and never received an email or phone call to let me know they were out of stock and did not know when they would have it back in stock. I had to contact them every time and the first time they said that they would let me know soon when they would be shipped. I think they need to stop advertising this product until they have their Existing orders completed. Hey nighthawk get your shit together!
