does time light not only dim but turn off for those of us who are light sensitive

dims very low only...had mine for almost a year and threw it away! Buttons for power and snooze broke and overall was very unresponsive to other button pushes.

Yes, you set the time and it shuts off what the time has been set at the control gives options!

A. No, light sensor leaves light off during day even when motion detected. B. If light switch is off, lights are off and sensor has no control.

I have only had the unit for a couple of months - no problem with dimming - only use it a few minutes a day, tho.

As others have said, if you have the alarm set, the clock display will dim once the light gets down to a certain darkness level but it does not ever go completely off as far as I can tell. It is definitely not as bright as a traditional alarm clock display.

No, but you can reduce the sensitivity of the motion sensor AND decrease the amount of time it stays bright when triggered. So, the way I have it set, the light comes on at dusk at a low intensity and will stay on continuously until dawn. If you walk directly in front of it, closer than about 5 feet or so, it goes to full brightness, then if the motion is not triggered again, it goes back to the low brightness in about 1 minute or less. When set in this mode, at no time does it completely turn off, unless the batteries are really run down. When you first receive it, the batteries could be really low (mine was) and I thought at first it was defective, until I reread the instructions, and understood how it's programmed to function. The motion sensor has priority, meaning that when the battery gets really low, the light will discontinue the low intensity dusk to dawn mode, and save what power is left to turn on bright when motion triggered..... So be sure to let it charge at least one day in the sun before you turn it to any setting other than off. (Still charges battery when turned to off). Since I have had it it has always remained on until dawn, even with some really cloudy and raining days decreasing its ability to charge. Now if it's motion sensor gets triggered too often, I can see the battery maybe getting rundown..... It this happens you can use another trick I have used before....simply take black electrical tape and tape up a portion of the motion sensor. Covered by black tape it will NOT sense motion.

No you have to physically turn the light on and off. There are two settings. You can have a steady blue color or you can have it cycle through different colors. The only light is the clock is backlit but it's so low you don't even notice it.

Yes, the light turns off easily. There are 3 levels of brightness. diminishing with each touch down to OFF.

It's photosensitive. I don't know the level of light it needs my bathroom is pretty dark so it's on most of the time except for a few hours a day when the sun hits the little window. Just see if it goes off when you hold it up to the light. Even my shadow over it will turn it on.

No. The light only comes on when you are adjusting the settings, or if you press the large button underneath the display. The light will stay on for about 10 or 15 seconds after you stop pressing buttons and then turn itself off.

Is this really a concern? Its minimal. About the equivalent of a analog clock except it only is on when motion and lack of light are present.

No. As it is dimming, it is easy to drift asleep. You can set how long it takes to go dark. You can also set how soon it start illuminating in the morning, and during that time there is no sound. If you want to wake up at 6 AM, you set the alarm for 6. If you want the light to start turning on 30 minutes ahead of time, you put that setting at 30 minutes. At 530, the light begins to gradually glow, but there is no sound. At 6 AM, the light is fully on and THEN the alarm beeps.

No, unfortunately you only get the dim light. It's nice when you're trying to sleep, but it makes reading the time hard.

The "ON" time is adjustable. I'm moving light into a barn because rain got inside the motion-sensor housing with water condensation on the translucent surface. After that, the light only occasionally responded to motion.

I believe there are three digital display settings, and the darkest one is off. But I haven't tried that because I want to see the time in the morning. I have it on dim and it's great.

If you are referring to the time display, no, it does not turn off. I had to turn the unit around because the light was too bright next to my bed

No. The light has a dim mode and activates to the bright light when motion is detected. The light goes back to dim mode after about 10 seconds.
