All I want is to be able to turn mine on at night and have it stay on all night. How can I do that?

My electrician setup 2 switches - I wish I knew how he did it. One wall switch will force the lamp on or off. The other allows it to stay in "security lamp" mode, so it only lights up when motion triggers the sensor.

Sorry, no you cannot. You can turn it off, up and down brightness control, but not permanently on.

Yes, you can, and it's very easy to do so. All you have to do is hold down on the power button for about two seconds, and release, and that will put you in the sleep mode to where you can then set the amountof time that you want for the radio to shut off. Very easily done in the dark!

Yes, the easiest way is to plug it into day/night sensor plug. That way it comes on automatically in the evening and goes off at dawn.

The reason is I work around the clock so a steady program doesn't work for me. I just want to turn it on when I want it on and turn it off when I don't. I don't want it to come on when I'm not home.

No you can't! It can be set to time start@end with a maual on off switch it can't be set by day. Hope this helps.

I believe there is a setting for always on. But if you put it on a switch, it may revert to the auto setting when you turn it off. That would mean it would not come on until the light sensor decides it is dark enough. That may not be a big deal if you only plan to switch it on when it is dark and you need the light.

Its easy! The switch on the right hand side turns it either on at all times (up position) or on the timer (down position). To set the timer, spin the dial to what ever time it is now, as you can see there are numbers 1-12. The dark side represents night time. each notch represents 15 minute interval. Raise the notches to the time you want the power to be on, all the rest have them pushed in. The dial when plugged in moves very slowly because essentially its rotating in a 24 hour period. You can plug it in, raise notches and spin the dial to test it out! Good luck!

Yes, that's correct. I think the amount of time that it stays off is programmable. This is quite a nice switch although I haven't figured out how to "train" it to only come on when it's dark. I haven't really taken the time to work with it. The support folks are very helpful and friendly.

I have some of these I bought a year ago and they DO NOT come on during the day. I just purchased some more recenlty and they turn on day and night. I don't want to have to remember to turn them all off each day. How do I get the old ones that turn off during the day?

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.

I don't know if you can do that automatically but it is a very simple matter to turn it on and off with the key fob so for sure you can simply turn it on at night and off in the morning by just pressing the remote button.....It takes no more time than turning on a porch light switch.

Neither can I, they are very similar. One suggestion, I had to cover part of the sensor. In the middle of the night, even if I moved my arm, the light would come on for the full minute. Not a good situation.

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.

To have it automatically turn on in a power failure have it plugged in and have the button in either the "on" or "night light" position. If it's in the night light position it will remain on 24/7. If it's in the on position, it will be off when plugged in but on when unplugged or when plugged in if there's a power failure.

Just turn it on at the time you want it to turn on each day. After the first time, it will do so at the same time each day and be off the other 19 hours.

I really cannot say you couldn't. I keep mine plugged in all the time but I still have to press the on and off button on it to start or stop it
