Do you have to cycle through the light functions to get to the red light every time?

No, you don't have to, you push the 'On' button and keep it pushed until the unit switches to the red light.
1574207
A lot of mixed answers so far, and I'm not sure why. To get a red light, you do not cycle through all the light modes. You hold the button and it switches to a red light. You hold it again, it switches to white light. When in white light, you cycle through the different modes by pressing (but not holding) the button. Holding it switches to red light or turns it off depending on the length of time it's pressed.

No if you turn it off while red it will turn back on with red. this is a great light i recommend

No. If you are on bright, you can hold the button until it switches to red without going through the other light functions. Up youngish also switch back to bright by holding the button in.

No, you just cycle through the three brightness levels. You will find this is one of the most handy lights you have ever used! I use mine for just about everything you could use a light for from installing my home theater to putting in a air filter in my camry.

Yes - the red light is first on the dial position and you can use it without using the white light.

No. There are three light levels to cycle through and then it returns to off. I find ours to be relative touchy. Our cats have even turned it on when pawing at the side of the headboard.

Yes, you do have to hold the switch down the entire time you want it to be on. They make a version that has constant on as well, just read the descriptions well or you will be returning it like I did once I found out you have to keep the switch pressed to have light...

No BUT the on light ifs very bright red/Orange and it is hard not to miss it. I have yet to leave the house with it on.

Yes, you just have to hold the on button for 2 seconds. If you hold it again, the light comes back on and the must goes intermittent. The instructions tell you how to do it.

I just plug mine in the red light comes on and then I leave it there till I need to use it. Yours might be defective...

Yes, sort of. If wired through a conventional light switch, then cycling the power will put it in "manual mode," in which case it will remain on until turned off again. On power up once again, it goes into automatic mode and will use the light and motion sensors.The manual is available online from their website:http://www.heath-zenith.com/servsup_manual.cgi

It defaults to the steady light mode. If you want something else, you have to step through to it.

On my 3 lights if I quickly touch the button it will cycle the light through the 3 levels of brightness. If I hold my finger on the button it will turn the light off. If this doesn't work it is probably a defictive light and needs to be returned.

If you double click the on button it goes to strobe, which is a nice option. By the way just cycling through will not initiate the strobe, only by double tapping will the strobe be initiated.

If it is programmed correctly the light should be red when the programm is on and shut when off, check if you did programm it right, sometimes the shedules have conflicts and it does that. If the programmation is correct, Cycle it off and then to Auto.

Yes , Read book on how to configure. You hold the blue button down a certain amount of times as red light blinks to get different modes

There are many leves. You have to click the dimer button many times to go from dimly lit to fully lit. I found that feature great!

No. You set the frequency of the flashes and the period of time the flashes endure until the lamp goes solidly on and stays on until the brake pedal is released. On the next pedal press, the whole cycle repeats itself. Mine flutters for about three to four full seconds and then clamps on solidly; I find this to be attention-getting, but not annoying to those behind me. It's a rapid flash, perhaps ten flashes in that brief interval. If you're alarmed, you can repeatedly step and release, step and release on the pedal ... and that really puts on a light show behind you. This device is the bomb and it could save your bacon.

Yes, I never use the light myself. There is a separate button for the light which toggles between the colors and off.
