Can you turn this unit on manually? i.e. if it has turned itself off x hours after dusk, can you turn it back on?

You can turn it on manually and it will stay on until you turn it off or you can set it to come on at dusk and it will shut off after however many hours you like.

FYI...I have two cables going into this, one to the front yard and one to the backyard. Has worked perfectly without any issues over the past 5 months. Plus it was easy to install.

I will double check but I believe in the manual, there is a manual turn on mode. Let me check tonight.

Yes there is a setting that will turn it on manually. You press the button til it goes to "O". Great for troubleshooting lights during the day.

Yes you can turn this on and off manually if you do not want to use the option to turn on for a certain number of hours at dusk.

I looked up the manual and if you set to 0, it is ON all the time. If it is set to A, on at dusk and off at dawn. If it is set to any number, it will stay on for that many hours after dusk. You scroll through these settings using the up/down arrows.

Yes, I just went out and tested it just now. All you do is scroll through the numbers until it reaches the on position again, and u can reset the timer to turn off in 1-9 hrs real easy.

If you mean, does it come on at dusk and go off a dawn, no. This is a motion sensor light that only works in the dark. Also note, I have other motion lights (120v and much brighter) on my garage. When they are on, this light won't come on because it too light around my front door.

No. Unit will turn on automatically with an audio signal or with a remote 12 vdc trigger. You can set it to turn itself off after 1 hr. or several other choices.

It has options to turn off and on.. I have my light come on at dust and shut off at midnight .. I also believe it has more than on option for times. you would need to plug into the device itself

There is a basic fault with this item it does switch on at Dusk but will not switch off at dawn, you have to do this manually!!

There is an option from Dusk To Dawn, in fact the front and back of the box mentions it. If you want the Dusk to Dawn option you must enter 'Manual Mode'. Manual Mode only works 'AT NIGHT' because daylight returns the sensor to AUTO. Flip the light switch off for one second then back on to toggle between AUTO and MANUAL MODE.Auto Mode - On time 1- 5 - 10 Minutes (Motion sensor)Manual Mode - On time (To Dawn) *Resets to Auto Mode at Dawn*Note: When first turned on wait about 1 1/2 minutes for the circuitry to calibrate.

There is a switch on the bottom. You can turn it on and off any time. Or you can turn it to Timer and it will remain on from that moment for the next five hours. Next day at the same time it will automatically come on.

Remember this is dusk to dawn light.. the light will not trigger ON during the day but Its on nite time if the sensor is triggered.. Hook it up to ON and OFF switch, turn on the switch and leave it ON..

Your lighting unit will default to the automatic on at dusk off in the morning setting, if the power is shut off.

This is a daylight off, dark on, light controlled device. It only reacts to light and dark, motion has no bearing on its operation. You might want to purchase a motion controlled light that is also sensitive to light and dark. It will turn on at night if there is motion in its range of detection. It will not come on in daylight even if there is motion in its range of detection.

Currently, I have it on 1 hour before sunrise, then off at sunrise. For night operation it is on at sunset off at 10. I believe it can be set like you want also.

it has a photo sensor- after dusk you can choose a reduced level of lighting for no time, 3 hr, 6 hr, or until dawn- if the unit senses motion during this reduced level period, or after the reduced level period, the unit goes to full bright for the amount of time you set it for- when the photo sensor detects dawn it shuts the unit off

If it is connected properly I believe it comes on when you first turn power on. If it does not come on then, put your thumb or a piece of opaque tape (like electrical tape) over the sensor to simulate darkness and it should turn on what ever it is connected to w/in a few minutes.

Yes. It can turn lights on and off at dusk and dawn. It uses an odd setup that turns any device that is set at unit code +1 on and off according to daylight - so if you do not want this feature, you will need to avoid setting any device at the trigger code +1. It can also be set to only sense motion after dark and not respond during daylight. It's a major pain to setup, but does what it says at an incredible price.

There are two ways to turn it on. 1) manual on full time (stays on till you manually turn it off) and 2) let the light sensor turn it on and the timer will turn it off x hours later.

The lights will turn on and off automatically by themselves. The only way you could turn them off manualy would be to cut the power to them. So you would need them on a switch of some kind. If they were on a switch, to turn them on manually you would need, first of all darkness and to have them turned off -- no power to them. At that point -- darkness and no power -- if you turned the power to them on, the lights should light up. If you did not interrupt the power supply before daylight, they should turn off automatically. I hope I answered your question. There is no off/on switch on the lights themselves -- it is automatic operation.

It has a photocell to turn it on at dusk. My experience with this unit is not good, however. The unit is too heavy for the plastic stem which in time broke on two units I had. The units can also leak water. Would recommend newer LED units.
