Can anyone tell me how to turn this transformer on? No manual included and trying the on/off switch does not work? Does not come on when plugged in.

A digita number or letter should light in bottom front bottom panel. If not, press arrows up or down. 0 letter makes power all the time. NNumbers thru 8 is house it will be on after dusk. A stands for automatic and will turn on / off automatocally.

There is only one way to control it - the up & down arrows. A small label next to the light sensor lists the options: 0 turns the output on, A is auto-on, that is whenever the outside light level gets low enough, everything is on. Continuing with the up arrow, it does auto with timed shutoff and each number corresponds to the number of hours before it shuts off. For example, I use a setting of 3, which turns on the lights around 8:50 PM and shuts them off 3 hours later. Pretty crude controls, but I really don't need anything more more.

lower half of case is door. lift from bottom. Instructions are there. If red display does not come on press up and down buttons. numbers should appear. set the weird looking A for automatic.

Hi Siu K li, I did the test for you on my light. I turned it on for one hour on high and the transformer that plugs into the wall got warm. I am an electronics guy and that is very normal for this type of device. There is nothing for you to worry about with this product, just make sure that you have plenty of space for airflow around the transformer/plug and you will be fine. I love my OXYLED desk lamp... Take care, Steve T.

You don't need a transformer! You can just plug it in as it is and works great!

sorry,i'm not even sure what a transformer is.i would suggest going to the coleman website for contact information,and then call.i had a question a couple years ago and i got to speak to a human fairly easily.

I have read that if you reset it, it will turn on. There is a hole in the back behind the on/off button. Stick a paper clip or some other small sharp object in the hole and hold it for a few seconds. I have also read that if you do that while holding down the on/off switch it may come on.

I'll ask my husband (not here right now), but my thought is that if the transformer dies, do you really want it hard wired? That's what happened with our previous lights. The lights were fine but the transformer died.

Very first time, I forgot to use transformer but it worked fine. I guess yours is just broken...

It has a photo cell that will turn the transformer when its dark and you have a timer to keep it on up to 9 hours. To have the transformer turn on at a specific time will be possible only by connecting the transformer to a plug in timer

Hi Karen,My older model has a switch in the front; but my newer one is turned on when plugged in, no switch.

There isn't an on/off switch, only a speed control. Your on off switch is on your transformer (required) as well as an additional speed control. This is a very nice tool,have fun.

It sounds as if yours is missing a part. Mine came with: 1) the light that has a 10" wire extending from the bottom that includes a toggle switch and a round jack connection, and 2) a transformer with about 4' of wire with a round jack on the end that easily plugs into the jack coming from the light.

You'd have to hard wire the transformer. Without the transformer, those lights won't work. So your best bet would be to cut off the Edison plug on the transformer, then strip the wires back and wire nut them to whatever hard wire run you'd have. My advice would be to run a new outlet to where you'd want to hard wire this thing. Not saying it's low quality, but for the price they're charging, QA might be a little lax. I wouldn't want to have part of this setup stuck behind a wall because with Murphy's Law, that'll be the part that needs replacing. Just my two cents.

I too have the same question. I will try to buy a 120 V step down transformer.... meanwhile wanted to know which transformer someone has used it sucessfully with this? Is a transformer based converter needed or normal wiothout transformer work? I had one already but not sure if to use this or buy a transformer based 120 V

If installed properly the transformer does not hum or vibrate loudly that I can notice? If you plan to also use a dimmer make sure you you get a dimmer made for LEDs otherwise it will hum or not work at all. Also consider installing the transformer somewhere in the circuit away from where you might hear it like near the main panel.

I have one and you have to read the booklet. It will need to be reset if you just unplug it. You need to push stop and then unplug. You have to have the heating unit on the fryer part for it to turn on. And, you have to have the plug in the fryer and then plug the other end into the wall.

The transformer is separate. There is a socket on a short cord that is attached to the light. The transformer plugs into this socket.
