Is there any auto-shut off feature or will the lamp run until the batteries die?

No, there is no auto-shut off feature. Just an easy on / off touch. Nice contemporary, soft light. Nice to have in case electric goes out too. Looks great!

No automatic shut-off. Lamp can be turned off only by tapping the topI love this lamp and have given many as gifts to my friends.

Mine does have an off switch but when it is on it automatically shuts off after 20 minutes. Did you try new batteries? that's pretty odd that it doesn't shut off in the off position. I would contact the seller. You may have a defected one! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

No the light automatically shuts off. I have had this for months and still have not changed the battery. I love it!

No, there is no way to disable the auto shut off feature. It shuts off after a minute.

No auto shut-off but draws very little power when not in operation. I leave mine on all the time.

The battery is only used when measuring resistance and continuity, so automatic turn off is not required. Hope this answers your question.

I have 3 of these and they are great. They do not turn off and on with a single touch. It lights up the lamp brighter with three touches and on the fourth will shut off.

This is normal, a demo mode. It's actually quite useful because it allows a shopper in a retail store to test the lamp, then it shuts off the lamp if someone inconsiderate shopper leaves it on - thus ensuring the batteries don't needlessly discharge.

I don't believe it has a pre-set option - it's made to be compact and does not have a clock that I remember. Sorry, I don't remember if it has an auto shut off.

Kind of.... it has a small low-med-high knob that is turned by hand. I can't say for sure if the low extreme is 'off', though. I believe it is advised to keep unplugged when finished, so that might be the only way to totally shut it off. I have, on occasion, ran it (and the coffee maker) through a timer switch on the wall socket. The heavy duty kind for heaters and other high draw appliances. This is the kind that has the little on the top the over ride the on-off cycle. http://www.amazon.com/Intermatic-TN311-Heavy-Grounded-Timer/dp/B005MMSTNG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1412815725&sr=8-3&keywords=lamp+timers

No auto shut off, but the battery lasts a very long time. Great little mouse. I have one for each of my two computers.

Yes. It is automatically set. If you don't want the candles to turn off automatically, you just unscrew the bottom of the candles so the battery doesn't touch.

It doesn't have an automatic shut off so if you turn it on it'll just go and go until the battery goes dead. I'm not sure how many hours of battery time it's good for but I've left mine on all night long on several occasions and it's still going strong!

Yes, it does have an auto shut-off feature. I'm not sure what the timings are but the feature is there.

No, it does not have auto shutoff. My wife killed her battery twice forgetting to unplug it. The heat is pressure activated.

i did not have no problems turn it off. My lamp does completely turn off. However, any electronic will always draw power. this means if you want to last you the longest you need to remove the batteries. Also is always recommend to remove batteries prior storing.

I don't think it has an auto shut off, I just take it back and turn it off manually. I have not tested to see how long it runs if it is I don't shut it off.
