cree led's shut off @ low voltage thresholds. what that is would need to be measured or ask the manufacturer

The light pulls 1 amp. That battery is rated at 5 amp hours. So roughly 5 hours operation time. That battery isn't a deep cycle, it'll have a shorter life.

at 12 volts, the 10 watt light will draw just over 0.8 amps. The battery is rated at 5 amp-hours (5 amps for 1 hour, 1 amp for 5 hours, etc). So, under ideal conditions you will get just about 6 hours. Add in life's little inefficiencies and an assumption of 5 hours would be reasonable, depending on your exact configuration. Good luck.

Yes, runs on a 12v battery. If you tried to run off your cigarette lighter, you could only used around 1/10 of the power (100 watts) before blowing the cigarette lighter 10 amp fuse. This unit designed to connect directly to 12v car battery.

This has a fair chance of running those lights, but keep in mind this is a battery with a limited supply of power. The battery is rated as "26 amp-hour" hinting it'll give you 1 amp at 12V for 26 hours, or 2 amps for 13 hours, etc, so for it to last 10 hours means you can't use over ~2.5 amps. When running things off the inverter, the overall power used is about the same but the 12V gets changed into 120V and the amps get changed from 2.5 amps to 0.25. I just tried a string of 26 LEDs (with the 1-2 inch cone on each) that shows 0.04 amp draw, so I could only put 5-6 of those together if expecting 10 hours. You may need to check yours to be sure of what yours needs since they may be different (I used the "kill-a-watt" meter to measure mine that you may want to consider getting to see exactly what yours use).

Um..... It should never be on unless charging. You did not charge it when you first got it did you? It comes charged. From then on it only takes a two hour charge. If overcharged and battery ruined the light will stay on.

These should run fine on a battery, but I cannot recall what the power connector is on the light. Ours are all installed on a studio ceiling grid along with their individual power supplies.

i did not have no problems turn it off. My lamp does completely turn off. However, any electronic will always draw power. this means if you want to last you the longest you need to remove the batteries. Also is always recommend to remove batteries prior storing.

I would think so, as long as you used a low voltage timer. The battery is within the solar panel, so you could put a timer between the light and the panel. and just leave the light switch on, at the light. good luck !

Yes. It will run until you turn it off. There is a setting for an automatic shut-off too if you want to use it.

Mine does have an off switch but when it is on it automatically shuts off after 20 minutes. Did you try new batteries? that's pretty odd that it doesn't shut off in the off position. I would contact the seller. You may have a defected one! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

According to the manual it is SUPPOSED to turn itself off ( doesnt say about lights off power down, so I assumed it meant power off the internal amp) after 30 min of inactivity. I have yet to see a sign of that happening even after hours of inactivity. If you are brave you can TRY HK support, but good luck with that. I think i would rather try to communicate with the stray cats I feed about sun spots!!

I agree with David. I have mine on a switch and simply turn the switch off if I don't want it to come on that evening or if I want to turn it off early. No need to disable the photocell. It's a great light, very bright and very economical. I've had it for a year now. Jim

Yes, it can. It will turn on to the last setting you had it on. Let me add that is a good and bright light. The only issues I found was that if you are keeping it in a pouch (like on a belt), It can turn on due to how the switch is. The switch is also a little difficult to findquickly if you pull it out of a pouch because it is small and is metal (like the surroundingmaterial). It would be better if it was a rubber material. Hope that helps.

You can use a 12 volt really if the vehicle it goes on is 12 volt. It will work with this light. You can use a TOGGLE SWITCH if it has a high enough amp rating. These lights don't draw much. I put it on a sand rail and run it with only a toggle switch. Have had no problems.

Yes it will run off the 12v cord. It's not good to run it completely dead. But if you do run it right dead , plug it in to the 12v for 10 mins or so before turning it on. Just so it has a bit of a charge when your using it. It will charge when using it with the 12v plug. These lights are bad a$$ bright! They hold a charge for ever. Go buy it now.

The T613-BNC I have, has a ON/OFF switch the if OFF in one position and On with three outputs in the ON position. Are you sure that if you slide the switch to the right the light should go out. Unplugging the cables would still cause the light to stay on and thus drain the batteries.

Hi- I need to be able to do that! Ours is turning off after 30 min and we want it on all night. Not sure which switch does this.

I don't think so. It runs purely off of the light sensor. The only thing you can do is turn it off completely. It is a great light though. Brighter than I expected and battery charge has lasted through the entire night during summer. Anxious to see if it can make it through the night in the winter months.
