Does it consume battery as if it is emitting light, if I leave it in the sound response mode and there is no sound?

My brother built it into the goggles that come with his steampunk outfit, so he seldom uses the sound response mode. His best guess, though, is that the electronics have to be powered up in order to listen for sounds, regardless of whether there are any, so there would still be battery draw.

It does use some power, but not as much as if it's in the "ON" mode. Also, the "sound" mode is more interesting to look at. I use rechargeable batteries and I get probably between 10-20 hours, depending on how much noise there is.

Knowing the Bluetooth is on if the white light indicator blinks at certain time interval, if it's off no light will blinks. For checking the status of battery, sorry I have no idea at all. All I experience if the battery getting lower usually I notice there is bloop sound.

Yes, you get a light signal when battery needs recharging and there is another light signal when it has finished charging. There is no "low battery" notice though. So its use it until the battery is done. Might be in the middle of a session.

The light should come on when you plug it into the battery. That's how mine works

The light is supposed to be lit when charging. It might have a faulty or loose bulb. If it charges, I wouldn't worry about the light.

No, the LED lights remain on as long as the laptop is on and powered up; even if it goes to sleep, the lights remain on. As for the sound quality, I should say that I am not an audiophile, so not too discriminating regarding quality. The bass is satisfactory for my purposes, and the overall sound quality is just fine for me, sitting at the kitchen counter. Much better quality than listening to the mono-radio. It is not intended for high volume, and I don't need or use it for that purpose. It does get some distortion at highest volume, as you would expect.

If the light turns on but no sound is not working properly. With the volume at least equal listening.

As others have said, if you do not have something plugged into the "IN" jack, it isn't energized and will not illuminate that light. If you do have something plugged into the "IN" jack, it may be defective.

I can't help you as I read the directions and tried repeatedly to set it for the sound activation and it comes on when it wants to I guess. I won't be buying another one as mine was made very cheaply and isn't dependable for lighting.

When ambient light is low the unit lights dimly and stays lit dimly giving low illumination. Once activated by motion it becomes much brighter. This would of course conserve stored energy. I did not see anything in the manual that mentioned the ability to set the unit to provide light all night long without motion (keep in mind I'm operating off my memory as I no longer have the manual). I'll post again on the unit after its been in use for > 1 month to let you know what reliability is. It has operated for > 1 week without problems.

No. My battery came nearly dead and I didn't see any light indicating a problem.

The unit has a battery saving device built in to it.If the unit does not detect sound play on the device it will turn itself off after awhile.

Hey tuna, I placed a new set of batteries in, placed it on bright setting and left it on...I had to leave 2.5 hours later and I did not detect any significant degrading in light quality. I've used it at 2 hour gigs with the same results. Hope this helps.

I'm not using it now as I moved to another place recently. But I don't think I heard anything while it was on. At least I didn't notice any noise. While it's on, the red light is on.

maybe I'm readin Brian T answer wrong,butYes it will function while being charged,. I can turn the light on ,off,and switch through modes.NO ,With out a battery

Sorry for getting back to you very late...I plugged the AC adapter into the light and it did turn on, but this does not say that it is running off the adapter and not just the battery. I would suspect it was running off the adapter. I could experiment and drain the battery then do this again. I modified my light by replacing the internal 750mAh battery with two external 2000 mAh batteries. Each will keep the light going for about 1:45 mins for a total of about 4 hrs of use. That is good for my long ghost hunts.

I never left it on when the battery got low because of the noise it made, I just turned it off, don't know.
