What is the reference to "upside down socket"? A viewer stated the light was "upside down" when plugged in.

What that almost always means is that your outlet is installed upside down. I lived in a house in which every single outlet was installed that way and I was never able to use decorative night lights! There's no risk as to the electrical aspect, but it will limit you to how you plug things in.

The plug is 2 prongs, and the one on the left is the larger one. So if your socket goes that way (our does) it'll be right side up.

They must have purchased one with the 'options'. I think some of them had light sensors. I just ordered the usual plug-in, off/on switch, but mine is placed correctly right side up at the bottom of the cover. It is beautiful. I actually ordered 2 of them. Put up the second one for future use, maybe I should check to see it's made correctly!

Also, sometimes the plug is made to rotate, so that the light can be set in any direction, to accommodate certain types of plugs.

I'd say it means you have a bad one and need to return it... I like the light, so I think if you get a good one, you'll like it too. Good luck!

C an't tell from the photo. There is a right and left configuration of this light.

There is a selector switch on the bottom of the fixture. One side is white, the other is color. The middle position is "off."

No, I have it plugged in on the top (upside down) so the cables come in that direction. The bottom outlet is open and being used.

It's a dim blue LED. It shines upwards, not sideways. I doubt it's a problem for you.

That happened to me! You are probably covering the light/dark sensor (a small circular indentation) when it's upside down. Try putting your finger over the sensor when it's right side up. It may be the area isn't dark enough for them to come on.

I am not sure because it is all open. The sockets are not protected . That should be in description. Maybe Progress Lighting could help.

Sounds like you either picked up the wrong cable, or you may be trying to plug it in upside down.

Yes...it's a goofy light. Does what you said which is not by design. I had it outside for security but it didn't work as described. It's in my garage and for some reason works and then doesn't work. If I could grab the engineer by the throat and have him explain why this doesn't work...I'd be happy.

The plugs on most items today have one side that is a bit larger; that larger side fits in the larger side of the socket. Just flip it over.

Negative, yet there is an input receptacle with NO SPECS as to polarity and voltage needed, as well a missing current spec needed when multiple items are connected. Closer inspection of item shows no specs ON the item either, but it appears that an area below the receptacle has been sanded off, as if the specs were removed, as was the model info. Weird.. Inspection was done with lighted magnifier I used at NASA to inspect pins. sort of like owning a 7-stall barn that will only hold 4 horses at best ;-)

I just posted a photo showing the switch in the off position. The photo came out sideways, but you'll see the little green dots lit up to the point where the brightness had been set just before you turned the switch off.

There's a plastic button that you need to push toward the other end, if it didn't work it means that the light is defective!

Possibly it's from the cable, same as pretty much every strand of Christmas lights out there. Wash your hands after installing, and shouldn't have a problem.

Wire nuts. That's it. Be careful when you wire the fixture, these bulbs have a bright side and a dark side, and you just can't flip them over. Make sure that the "hot" pin (110v) is in the correct position for the bright side of the bulb to be facing out from the fixture...

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
