Can light be operated in a normal on/off mode? Can the auto motion sensor be switched off?

Just to clarify- there is a switch. It is hidden under the back cover which is a little difficult to open.

There is 3 switch designations, Auto, Cont., and Off. In the Auto position, the motion sensor controls the light, in the Cont. (Continuous) position, the light operates without the motion sensor. The Off position nothing operates.

The light can NOT be used in a "normal" on/off mode. It has no switch. If the battery is in it will always work as it was designed, i.e., it will come on when there is BOTH motion AND darkness. I use it in an outdoor shower and it provides plenty of light for night-time bathing. It stays on as long as you continue to move and the ambient light is low.

No, you'd just have to leave the light bulb a little looser to adjust the position of the sensor; not ideal. However, I have one of these in a light fixture and facing my house and it turns off and on just fine... ambient light seems to be enough to keep the bulb off, direct sunlight is not necessary.

You can turn the light off manually, through some other scene/timer, or ... if you want the sensor to turn it off without activity, you can create a scene for "no trigger." In other words, when there is "no trigger" of motion, the scene causes something to happen (like turning off the light).

Officially, no. There is not a switch to turn it off or anything. But you can open it up and yank the wires out and then it will always run in low mode. It is set up to run in low mode except when the motion detector detects movement and then it switches to high mode for whatever time you have it set to stay in high mode.

It is a standard dual light fixture that may be run off of a switch is you desire that kind of control. It has a third hole (plugged by default) between the two lights where a light sensor can be wired in, and then it stays on when it is dark outside. The same third hole could also accommodate a motion detector, and then whatever kind of motion detector you select would control the lights.

I don't think so. You might be able to do it by covering the light sensor but the appeal of this product is the on/off capability.

No, I don't think it can be turned off. There is a light which shows when the motion sensor is active.

I have mine attached underneath a kitchen cabinet and use the on/off switch to activate (it has two lighting modes - high and low). But I do NOT know if it has a motion sensor function.

There is a photo sensor which you can set to turn on and off the lights. It also can be set by number of hours by digital selection. I usually set my for 4 hours when I use it.

Dusk to dawn can be turned off. I have mine connected in place of the devious generation of IR sensing light and it works fine with the light switch to turn it on solid or auto switch like you said. A good buy too!

Yes, I think there was a switch to set how long you want the light to stay on when motion is detected.

Yes. You can turn the motion feature off and use the remote to turn the lights on and off. They will automatically turn off after either 1 or 4 hours.

Sorry for the dely in response. Yes, absolutely; it can be connected to a light switch and turned on and off as required. It does have a sun sensor which means it will not turn on during the daytime. I've recently installed two and really like the investiment. I'm really impressed with the light output. I did need to play with the sensatively and positioning for a while, but that's not different than with any other sensor.

Yes the unit can be connected to a normal on off switch in the house. You then leave the switch in the ON position unless you specifically want the light off. Ours works very well.

Yes. The light can be switched off. However, the temp readouts stay on all the time.

I don't know if it can be set in that way, but I doubt about it. Anyway, light was turn on after a motion was detected in 10s it automatically switch to dim mode. The light will stay on in dim mode until next motion detected.

Yes you can turn light on and off. You can have steady light or have strobe action going. It is a really bright light and will scare any intruder and temporarily blind them giving you a great advantage. Hope this info is helpful.
