That's not the answer. What the difference when you push the on/off button, and the red LED glows vs. when it does not glow the red LED on the base.

All I can tell you about that is the other day I was using the flashlight which eventually became dim. I replaced it on the lamp. Although connected to the AC adapter, the red light did not come on and the lamp would not operate from the switch on the base. I thought I had a problem with either the base or the AC adapter. The next time I entered the office where I keep it, however, the lamp was brightly shining and the red light was on. I concluded that the flashlight part must be charged at least somewhat before the lamp can operate from the AC adapter current. I hope this helps.

Yep. The LED only comes on when the load (power) is switched off. This dimmer slide doesn't switch off - that function is handled by the rocker - it just slides down to near zero. Since its designed to cover one light with two switches and you can have competing dimmers on the same light, one switch is on/off and the other has a corresponding on/off with the addition of a slide dimmer. So cutting the load off completely (and activating the LED) is assigned to the on/off switches and not the dimmer. There is always a way to invent a more complex functionality - just not in a dimmer of this affordable price. Yep. The LED only comes on when the load (power) is switched off.

one of them i think is the thermal protection is triggered when turn on for about 5 minutes so the effect is a blinking LED. the other one was ok. so i was dissapointed...

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.

You will see no difference unless there is very bright light directly exposed to it. Otherwise, its just another picture that you cant see when the lights are off.

There is a button disguised in the chest. Press the chest in the middle and the light should go brighter. If you press it twice the light goes off. By the way you do not have to press hard.

Sorry, it was a gift for a friend. But if it's a LED and not a LCD, then the individual numbers glow.

There is no difference! Both screens are LCD. LED is what back lights the LCD display. LED (Light Emitting Diode) They just call all LCD displays LED.

Yes, but there are two details. 1) the dimming will most likely be a stepping dim, not a smooth dim, and 2) when off the LED will still glow very dimly

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.

Not on my unit. There is a small red light and a small blue light on all the time when the unit is on, and the led light comes out of the top but the led light is barely noticeable, even in the dark.

I'm not really sure what that question was supposed to mean. When you turn on low beam some of the LEDs light up when you turn on highbeam all of the LEDs light up. I hope this answers your question.

As an amendment, you need to push and hold the on/off button for around 10 seconds till you see led light flash in two colors in turn

No. It's pretty basic. When you turn the dial to "on" the red light comes on. When it's in the off position the light goes off.

There will be a small light that stays on on the on/off switch. The top brighter light turns off when you push the button twice. The little light isn't too bright. Just turn it away from you. Hope this helps.

That is not an LED, but rather a motion sensing element. When you press the other button on the top (the opaque button) and it glows red, you can wave your hand in front of the headlamp, and it will illuminate.

Depending on what you are using it for I would also add (even though you didn't ask) that sometimes the button doesn't keep the LED on unless you keep your finger or thumb on it. I have had several of these. I can't figure out why. Sometimes it's right out of the box, other times after changing the batteries, sometimes after dropping it and putting batteries back in. The switch (inside the compartment area where batteries go) always seems to work but when you pop it back together it still doesn't stay on. I think it's just the quality of the product because the switch on some seems looser so I am guessing it's from just mass production (you get a few duds). Worth the price with the free shipping though.
