Does the bulb drain energy when it's turned off but the switch is on?

It should, since it requires some power to allow the remote to activate for on/off. Not sure how much but it can't be that bad.

I don't have the equipment to test for that but if there is any electricity used when the bulb is off it would be mininmal. The bulb uses very little electricity when it is on.

Yes, however, both of my light fixtures operated by pull chain (i.e. pull the chain, the light is on) so when I screwed in the new motion activated light bulbs, I left them on the "on" position and they turned off within 3-4 minutes. I would assume that a flip switch would be the same way; leave it on and let the new light turn off by itself. I, personally, love the convenience.

If I left it plugged in accidentally without shutting it off, it will automatically turn off. however it does blink before before shutting down but not constantly. If you turn switch in the off mode and leave it plugged in it will constantly blinks.

No..once you put the cover down, it automatically turn the switch to off....i think for safety purposes not to drain your battery or any power....hope this will help!

yes. the lamp is functional while plugged in. You can turn it off with the regular switch...or use the remote or your iphone if you are away

Only if the module is left in the "ON" state or the lamp is plugged into the other side of the module (bypass power "always on")

Yes there is an on/off switch. I think it takes a 7 watt lightbulb. Cozy lamp. Warm glow.

Yes, unfortunately it does pull some power even when turned off. I thought it didn't but my friend the electrical engineer convinced me otherwise.

No. Once it's plugged it will turn on perfectly. Once unplugged, it will turn off and rest.

No. It is on-off-on. The lights follow the position of the switch if a ground wire is installed.

Strange...mine are completely off when the switch is off. There must be a small bit of power running through that circuit that the bulb is reacting to but I'm certainly no electrician!

No. The light should stay on until you turn it off. Mine has stayed on for hours at a time.

Yes, the switch glows (probably an LED) when it is OFF so you can find it in the dark. Not very bright but not sure how to quantify that. Bright enough to help you find the switch but not so bright that it would bother me in my bedroom.

Hi. I don't think so. But then again I always turn it off by habit as soon as I am done, I unplug it. But if you check the description of the product it should tell you if it has that feature. In any case, it was a great price and a great buy for me, I am still using it and loving it. :)

If you put it on a switch then you are controlling the normal operation. So, if you want it off while at night then flip the switch. However, if you switch it on during the daylight you will have no light on.

No, only in the off position. Keep in mind that if lights are on, the brightness of the switch lighted probably wouldn't be noticeable anyway. There wouldn't be enough light level contrast to notice. Our bedroom is very dark when the lights are off, and it's nice too have this lighted switch to easily find the light switch panel in the dark.

No! bulb has a large ballast, and reducing the electricity to the Bulb will cause it to burn out early.
