I purchased 6 of these and the motion part works but the dim lighting does not. Is there a special way to turn on the dim lighting?

I bought 3 of them and none of them worked. I'd just be happy they're working at all.

This light does not react to motion. It has an ambient light sensor that prevents it from turning on when the sun is up, etc. To make it turn on under all conditions, simply cover the light sensor with some black electrical tape. The older versions of this light had a dark plug included for you to use, but LOA stopped including this in their packaging years ago.

mine work as dome light and map light independently . try flipping end to end and adjusting your dimmer switch.

You can install a dimmer but this motion light is not designed to run that way the light will hum really bad and motion sensor does not work well when dimmed.

Tap once on the silver base is for dim. Tap another time it gets brighter, the third tap is the brightest. When it is at the brightest tap one more time and it switches off. Then u start over again! Hope it helps :)

I did. But the touch system (to turn on, brighten and dim) no longer works. I have to plug and unplug to turn on/off and no longer have the dimming feature. I'm not certain that the bulb is the cause.

Be happy that the motion sensing works for u. In mine it did not. Without a separate light sensor you cannot do what you want

It has a light sensor that requires it to be relatively dark before it will light up when a motion is detected. Mine will not light up in broad daylight, but I am not sure how dark it needs to be to light up . Hope this helps.

You should be able to set the illimination (brightness) on your panel. It can go from dim to no lighting. *6, then code, then the > key (believe it has 3 settings, push the key for desired affect), then # to exit.

i found that these lights all act differently they are supose to be motion detector ''on and off'' and some are dark and light active. i am havining the same proplem with a couple of them ,i think i am just going to call the manufacturer, one thing i did find out for sure is you must ! use brand new baterries in then to get the to act wright . i have one in my bath room that works perfecetly i come in the bath room the light goes on and if you do not move it goes out in about 15 seconds, that's the way they are sopose to work, come to think of it i have five of the that work that way .if they don't work to your satisfaction just send it back they will send you a new one at no charge. i found that these lights all act differently they are supose to be motion detector ''on and off'' and some are dark and light active. i am havining the same proplem with a couple of them ,i think i am just going to call the manufacturer, one thing i did find out for sure is you must ! use brand new baterries in then to get the to act wright . i have one in my bath room that works perfecetly i come in the bath room the light goes on and if you do not move it goes out in about 15 seconds, that's the way they are sopose to work, come to think of it i have five of the that work that way .if... » Read More i found that these lights all act differently they are supose to be motion detector ''on and off'' and some are dark and light active. i am havining the same proplem with a couple of them ,i think i am just going to call the manufacturer, one thing i did find out for sure is you must ! use brand new baterries in then to get the to act wright . i have one in my bath room that works perfecetly i come in the bath room the light goes on and if you do not move it goes out in about 15 seconds, that's the way they are sopose to work, come to think of it i have five of the that work that way .if they don't work to your satisfaction just send it back they will send you a new one at no charge. « Show Less

I believe the only way to disable the dimming function and motion sensor is to turn on the light, off for 1 second and then back on. This is common with motion sensors no days. Also, consider dimable LED lights, they'll save on energy and look just as good. We're using the phillips LED (roughly $10 each) The've already paid for themselves in savings.

The lighting on the LED numbers can be dimmed. It sounds like this could be happening. Have you tried hitting the "snooze" button? That will dim the numbers each time you press it until you can't see it anymore. Press it again and it should light up bright. Hopefully that helps!

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.

In reply to an earlier post on Dec 2, 2012 1:55:04 PM PSTJitu says:If you place the switch at top in he "L" position then it will turn on only if ambient light level is low and motion is detected. In the "O" position it will turn on whenever motion is detected regardless of the ambient light level (24 hours)

I don't see it moving, it has a light that should let you know but mine doesn't work... try the timer 8 or something similar that has that visual component.

Any Motion will activate the light. You should get a light with batteries that are rechargeable outside the light. This one needs a couple hours of sunlight to be usable.

The brand name is "Creative Motion" and the item is "lighted orchid" :-) there is no motion or motion activated component to the light. I hope this helps!
