I probably will bring back to the store.

I even replaced the batteries with fully-charged 'Energizer' rechargeables & they STILL blink. Very frustrating because I really like the lights for the short time that they actually work. I'm returning eight sets. Anyone know of any other solutions? I have the solar uplights & mine have the blinking problem, too.

For some reason IKEA advertises that solar lightings come with rechargeable batteries, but, unfortunately they don't. They put normal alkaline IKEA (yellow) batteries inside so, when you place it under the sun, they do not charge. so the only thing you have to do is to unscrew the battery compartment, open it, replace the batteries with rechargeable ones and screw it again. Blinking light means "Low battery" Enjoy your solar lights Solution: For people who have problem with blinking solar lightings.

The blinking after the battery wears down almost got me kicked out of my apartment when someone thought it was a blinking fire..Disconcerting to say the least...these suck! Does anyone know of some that work right? I want to bring them back.

Sucks to drive an hour to get our money back but this is the first of several items we have bought at Ikea that didn't work out, but seeing how many people have had issues frustrates me that they do not recall them and stop selling them altogether.

It would be nice in IKEA could contact their manufacturer and query why. I wouldn't have gotten them had I known they would blink.
