I purchased 12 20 Lumens solar boarder lights from Home

I purchased 12 20...

I purchased 12 20 Lumens solar boarder lights from Home Depot about 3 years ago. Until now, I have not had an issue with them. Two of the lights, after replacing with new batteries, does not work. Usually after replacing a battery, the light goes on indicating to me that it is working...the 2 I mentioned does not, even after I bought new batteries, put them in the light and nothing happened.

Contractor's Assistant: Do you know the model of the Hampton Bay lighting you're working with?

Looking for it now

Contractor's Assistant: What have you tried so far with your Hampton Bay lighting?

I outlined that above in my initial chad above!

Good morning, My name is ***** ***** Ill be assisting you today

Correct

As I am sure you are aware with any consumer item, especially something like this, they will eventually quit working.

You can replace batteries

check and clean battery terminals

but outside of that theres not much you can do as there lights are not meant to be serviceable outside of batteries, they are built to be replaceable. If you have done the above, new batteries (which I see you did) and made sure battery terminals are clean, then I would try contacting Hampton Bay directly and see what they can do for you in terms of a replacement for those 2 lights. They might be able to send you 2 matching or sell you a couple matching to avoid having to buy all new ones.
