Does the illumination have to be on to see the reticule?.... i.e. if the batter is dead or I don't want to turn on the illumination, what do i see?

No issues.... You see the reticle in black vs red. It is seen Very Clearly even in full sunlight

You see a black reticle, just like a normal non-illuminated scope. The circle around the center dot is very wide. I like it for fast acquisition, but many people complain it is too wide and blocks their view.

if the illumination is off, the reticule is black, if it's on, it's red. There are also varying degrees of illumination so you can make it dimmer/brighter to suit your needs

Yes, you can see it is working. The UVC is invisible, but it also emits just enough visible light, kind of a bluish tint, that you can see it. When batteries are getting low, it gets hard to see, your cue that you need more batteries, or to plug it in.

It will light up when it senses motion, not simply because it is dark outside. If they are not working, I would first check the batteries.

Sorry for the late response. The on button glows, which is a little star. It wouldn't really be enough light to see it in the dark though.

Yes, you are correct, there should be a light. There is a little red indicator light on the wand handle, but when the unit is on, the fluorescent tube will glow, just like any other fluorescent light. If you have no lights, your unit is not on or working.

There is not a light. The initial battery I put in is still OK. I was concerned that the battery life would be short, but have been very pleased with it so far.

the reticle is visible without the illumination on. it is black with it off.

It has a "pick hole" that is violet when its on and just dark when it is off. I assume that being visible would mean that the bulb is still OK. But I am not sure.

The image shown looks to be back lit, but the one I bought is Not.Besides, having a light in side only runs your Battery down Quicker!Suggestion!, buy a small LED flashlight and keep it in a easy too locatespot (your pocket or in your Tool Box.).Raven

Yes, you can see them without illumination. I find it to be a decent scope for a decent price.

If it's a tritium sight you should be able to see it in the dark. That' why their called"night sights". They may be old. The radioactive element lasts about 10 years and .may be dead. I would send them back

Hi, Thank you for contacting us. Yes, when the LEDs are off the frosted dots are visible. Have a great day. Regards, Howard - Lighted Image.

It has no indicator light; when the battery dies you would not know. You would not know if it's on or off either unless you look at the position of the switch.

No there isn't a light. It is approximately 5 seconds between pitches...plenty of time to get reset and ready for the next pitch.

I wondered too and the answer is not in the manual which is just a paragraph or two. My guess is that the red light indicates the power is on and is recharging the battery. That makes most sense.

No the display is not illuminated. This is the lower end of the self timers I think.

My pitcher doesn't have a light, nor do I see one on the picture next to the question; maybe your refrigerator light is out instead.
