Does the switch need to be left in the "on" position for the light to go on at dusk and off at dawn?

These are NOT UL listed. They blew out the light socket and almost started a fire. We had to call an electrician and get a new light fixture. Proceed with caution.

Yes, it will work fine. I have mine in an outdoor fixture that turns off and on with a dusk to dawn switch (just like a timer) and it works great.

If you mean, does it come on at dusk and go off a dawn, no. This is a motion sensor light that only works in the dark. Also note, I have other motion lights (120v and much brighter) on my garage. When they are on, this light won't come on because it too light around my front door.

It has an on off switch. It's not on a timer. We have a separate dawn light. Not apparent to me how you would combine it.

Not needed during the day as I have some lighting from outside. If I want it on during the night time I can turn it on.

Yes there is an on/off switch but it wouldn't be very convenient if you're looking to use it as a conventional light switch. It's located on the back of the solar panel near the mounting bracket. If you leave it in the "on" position, it operates automatically.

Funny you should ask about "always on". I bought and installed two of these. One is on all the time dawn to dusk no matter how I have it set. The works sometimes and others it is also on dawn to dusk. I do NOT recommend these lights.

It can be done but not that practical. My light is connected to a wall switch that I can turn on or off. The key is you have a built in timer that is activated with motion to turn light on when dusk approaches. The timer is turned off if you turn switch off then on again. I know the instruction tell you how long you need to wait if you want to back to motion use but this will put light on until you decide to turn it off again. They also make similar lights that are not motion activated. This may be your best approach.

Yes, but not recommended. There is a switch on the back side that has three positions: AUTO, OFF, and ON. In the ON position the light will remain on until the battery is drained.

It's only on when it it is selected, when it works. They are good positive switches, but out of three I have one that lights when on, two that don't. I may replace them with switches that have some type of exterior positional glow.

Yes. There is a button on the switch plate, at the receiver, that you press to turn the light on or off. This unit has worked flawlessly since I installed it, about a year ago. Light and receiver are located in a outdoor shed about 120 feet from house . It is used almost nightly in winter to turn the lights on from the house.

No. The switch a always stays at a neutral setting. When you press the top lights go on and the switch returns to its neutral setting. When you press the bottom the lights go out and bc again the switch returns to neutral. When you actuate it remotely it does not physically move.

Yes, should be a button on e bottom edge of the light... That is the off/on switch...

Yes. Turn switch off for 1 second and back on, and it'll stay on for the rest of the night (Manual mode). Daylight will reset it back to Auto mode. If you want to set it back to Auto mode, turn switch off for 1 minute and back on.

i opted out of wireing the light to work, but im pretty sure it turns on when the switch is turned to the on position.

Yes. It can turn lights on and off at dusk and dawn. It uses an odd setup that turns any device that is set at unit code +1 on and off according to daylight - so if you do not want this feature, you will need to avoid setting any device at the trigger code +1. It can also be set to only sense motion after dark and not respond during daylight. It's a major pain to setup, but does what it says at an incredible price.

This model does have a light sensor and turns on a dusk and off at dawn. I have been using it for years with no problems.
