The on/off button is an option.

Does wearing clothes treated with insect repellency really help?
Cloth treated with insect
repellency offers a long lasting protection against mosquitos and unlike the
traditional repellent, the repellency is near your skin not on it which
alleviate concerns about skin diseases caused by long term use of the
traditional insect repellent.

How does a water purifier work?
A water purifier works through the process of
reverse osmosis. Water purifiers cleanse water by passing it through a series

How do i open eveready
You need to twist the black bulb end off in the direction of the arrow labeled open. The best way I found was to place the yellow end between my legs to hold it in place.

Do air mattresses deflate throughout the night?
When air mattresses first came out, deflating was a major
issue. In the last ten years or so, all
air mattresses built don't have that problem unless they have a puncture
somewhere.

I have a 6-7 year old Rayovac Workhorse Lantern- I bought 2 new 6 volt batteries and 2 new tube bulbs for it but it still doesn't work. How and where should I take it to be checked?
The odds that both bulbs went out at the same time is pretty low, actually. It's more likely that there's corrosion in the on-off switch or that an internal wire may have come loose. It's also possible--and I've made this mistake myself--that one of the 6-volt batteries has been put in backwards so that the polarity is not properly aligned for both batteries.With all that said, here are a few simple tests you can do.1. Check the batteries. If you have a battery tester, are both batteries good? If so, check they are properly installed and making good contact with their terminals.2. Pull the bulbs out and use a voltmeter to check that you have voltage going to each bulb tube. This basically means switching the light on and touching each of the terminals where the bulb(s) would clip in. You should see a strong voltage reading on one or both tubes-I believe that this light is designed to keep working, even if one of the bulbs is burned out.3. If you don't get a reading from the bulb terminals, the on-off switch or wiring leading to is is the prime suspect. You may have to disassemble the light housing to get into that, which may not be particularly easy. At this point, you might want to call Rayovac customer service and see what they might do for you under their alleged lifetime warranty for flashlights. You may be able to send it in (holding onto the bulbs for yourself) and get a free replacement.Good luck!
