When do I use the combo light and the basking light? At night what turns off? What goes under each? Where does food/h2o go? Hammock?

The combo light and basking light are used during the day. We turn both off at night but I am told you can leave a fluorescent light on if you want. Not sure what you mean by what goes under each but we put our light on top of the top/cage that sits on top of the glass tank. Food/h2o go inside the glass tank. We tried using a hammock but could never get it to stick to the glass tank properly and when our bearded dragon sat on the hammock her weight would make the hammock collapse.

If you are talking about a snake you should have a red light and a heat basking light. The red is on 24/7 and the basking is on only during the day. Set your timer on the basking to match the seasons: shorter days shorter time on light, etc. If you are talking about a Lizard of sorts it all depends on whether you have a desert dweller or a forest dweller. You should look up the individual critter on the web and see what they require.

Indirect light, and it will take off! Water once a week and make sure u dry upside down! Ours has done great

Their is nothing u have to do. Just hang it up so the solar sensors are facing the sun. At night it looks like a nightlight till u get close and then it lights up with a fairly decent amount of light, enough to light up a path. Stays lite for maybe 10-15 sec.

Without light on or with light completely removed? It works without light on

I just put the switch to ON and left it. I didn't turn it off at all. It recharges during the day and then shines at night. I am not sure why they even have a switch. On mine I would have to take the top off to get to the switch, anyway, and since it is on a tall post that would be difficult. Dave L.

Use Super Macro mode and make sure you have excellent indoor lighting if doing this indoors. Otherwise, use a light box or set up outside. :)

Place it in the sun or hang it where you want it. The sun will charge it. After dark it will have a dim light; when it senses motion, it will have a bright light.

The light can NOT be used in a "normal" on/off mode. It has no switch. If the battery is in it will always work as it was designed, i.e., it will come on when there is BOTH motion AND darkness. I use it in an outdoor shower and it provides plenty of light for night-time bathing. It stays on as long as you continue to move and the ambient light is low.

There are red and green lights. Plug it in until light is green...put stuff in, close lid...when it's green again...done !

Neither. When the batteries are placed inside, the lights go on. Then after awhile, they will turn off. When you put the light in a dark place, they are supposed to activate, but it fails to do that. It does not turn on in either the day or the night.

I would recommend a repti sun or zoo med basking bulb. Does wonders for your pet

There are two lights on this humidifier.A set of lights illuminates the tank of water and a light illuminates the time. The light that illuminates the water is a little bright. Both lights can be turned off.

There is a dim light during dark hours when there is no motion, when there is motion it only comes on for about 30 seconds if the motion stops. It stays off completely in daylight.

Hmmm... ok I'll try to explain. On top of this 250 watt transformer is a mechanical timer and a switch to turn on/off the "merlin" system. Your choices are as follows: 1 use the "merlin" system or don't use the "merlin" system. With the "merlin" system on it uses the motion sensor to activate the lights from 100% brightness with motion activity or only 10% brightness(glow) when no motion is detected. The photo eye on bottom or transformer determines when the merlin system will activate....so at dusk the merlin system turns lights on slowly to about 10% provided that the motion sensor doesn't detect motion. But if motion sensor detects motion the merlin system will go to 100% bulb brightness. Keep in mind that if you choose to have the mechanical timer turn lights on and off they will be at full 100% brightness. With timer set to specific on/off times it will overide merlin activation except when dark outside because then Merlin system will use photo sensor inside motion sensor to determine if it can dim lights to 10%. (confused yet) After reading your question again the answer would be NO. The motion sensor is not intended to be a security spotlight... the "Merlin" system will only turn lights on from a dim 10% power state to full brightness 100% IF it detects motion. Why would you purchase this system when you can buy a motion activated flood light for less than $15.00 ???

Thanks for all the replies. I've gotten used to it so it's not a deal breaker for me. I guess I did not pay close attention to the description and I assumed it had a light sensor as well as the motion sensor.

The lights can be turned off. It runs constantly until the liquid is gone or you shut it off.It shuts off automatically when the liquid is gone.
