Yes it has a pilot light. To light the pilot light- push the control knob in and turn counterclockwise to the first indent. hold the knob in for 5 seconds.then press the ignighter button on the left side. You willl hear a small puff when the pilot light lights. Then youn can turn the control knob up tp light the flame. To keep the pilot light on just do not turn the knob to the full off position. Of course you have to put a battery in the ignighter.

It does use a plug in electric cord. The cord comes down through the stem of the light and if not close to an outlet, you'll need an extension cord.

Electric. Nice and light but my cd changer stopped working soon after I got it. Radio works well.

It's electrical. The cord is a good length and it has a handy on/off switch near the bulb area of the light.

Yes, electric, they have sending units for the oil & temp. Bought a set of these for my 68 mustang. They work OK, but are a little dim at night. Justin

Yes, you do. All the specs for the vent pipe are in the instruction manual. And there is no pilot light to answer another question. It has an electric igniter. A pilot light would defeat the purpose of having an 'on demand' water heater. There are small window type openings that allow you to see a flame when the water heater is working.

Hello, It is electric. My son runs a drop cord out to it when he will use it. I have been very impressed with how ell this has worked, very bright and surprisingly sturdy. Make sure to follow the assembly instructions, make installation easy.

It goes by distance. If u want something bright go with the $89 spot light...

Electric . With a motion sensor. Works great. Have it professio Electric with a motion sensor. Have had two on my back porch for years broke one when I hit it with a ladder. Have it installed by someone that knows what there doing. Unless you do.

The pilot light will start to glow when the temp drops enough to start warming the tape. Sometimes it will flicker a little as the temp starts to fall, and it is figuring out that it is time to turn on!

It's electric...I don't see why not. However, I hate this thing. It is so incredibly bright, it is bizarre and it doesn't put out much heat. I tried to return it but the merchant was so difficult to work with and wanted to charge the return shipping. We rarely use it.

Hi,The light is not a "pilot light". It is simply a means to check to see if the unit is functioning properly. To check it you depress the little spot and if it lights up, The unit is working OK. It has its own Thermostat to maintain temp. Geo

I haven't installed mine yet, but typically if the pilot doesn't stay lit after holding the valve in the pilot position for a minute after lighting, it is usually either a fault thermocouple or the pilot flame isn't positioned correctly on the tip of the thermocouple. I am assuming that your gas pressure has been checked and the pilot flame is adjusted correctly.

Yes it does. When it reaches the set temperature it will go to just the pilot light and turn the heater back on when the temperature falls below the set level. The pilot light does remain lite so I would not leave it unattended for an extended period.
