The switch is located right behind the dome light shade. If the older person is sitting up in bed it might be possible for them to activate the switch.

Its up by the bulb on the bottom of the bulb shroud. yes, I think you would like its location.

It's on the arm located close to the domed shade. The arm swivels so it could be adjusted for easy reach. This is a very nice lamp. I have it on my nightstand.

There is a switch on the cord. It is about 2 feet from the plug that goes into the electric outlet. Whether you can reach it from bed depends on where your outlet is.

We installed it in a laundry room with no switch. The light turns on and off automatically. You can use a standard switch with it, but you would leave it "on" at all times, but this could lead to confusion, if someone accidentally turned it off.

It is hard, my wife just stepped on it with the "extender" feet on it and it is firm. We think it a good switch for 80 yr. old from stairs. Enhoy

Even Better. There is a rocker switch on the side of the unit itself to turn it off and on. I don't use the switch since I wired it in under cabinet but I just checked and the switch is there.

there is a usb cable in the bottom of the unit. there is no switch so the way to turn it on is plug the cable into your computer.

The switch is located about a foot from the lamps. I have mine wrapped around my iron bed so it stays right where I can reach it. You could attach it to almost any headboard with tape, velcro, etc. It is very handy

It is located on the weighted base of the lamp about center of the base. It is a flush mounted switch, a little hard to find until you get use to it. All in all a great lamp.

The switch is on the base of the lamp, and it is a simple push button. Works pretty well. As it is the only button on the base it is extremely easy.

The controls are at the foot of the bed. You can move the controls by turning the mattress pad around and putting the controls at the top of the bed....which is what I did. It also made it easier to plug the unit in because my outlet on the wall is at the top of my bed. We either put the controls under our pillow or on the nightstand. This is a very nice addition to our room which is an ice box at night. Hope this helps.

There is no on/off switch. To do so requires plugging it into or out of the outlet.

There is a little pocket that hangs off the bed....I don't remember but it might take a couple of batteries itself. There's an on-off switch so that when you put the person to bed, when they try to move off the pad, it sounds the alarm! It worked really well for my 90 year old mother in law because she couldn't remember to call out to us when she needed to get up and go to the bathroom.

Hi: The switch is located just below the reading light arm, and approx. 42" above the floor. Sitting in a low chair I can reach it easily. This is a very good quality light, with heavy base, solid metal stem and thick glass. It was a good purchase. For the switch, we use these excellent wireless remote switches for other lights and equipment. Westek RFK100LC/RFK101LC Wall Mounted Switch and Plug-in Receiver

It's easy to turn on - just push the button but it's probably not bright enough for diapering...should be ok for feeding.

Switch is midway. Most people could probably reach it from the couch. I'm 5' tall and cannot. The reading lamp is not gooseneck. Have two and really like them. They are heavy and not easily tipped over.

Yes, a very conviently located switch. It's on the side where the wire goes into the plugs.
