If installed in a table lamp, can I manually turn it on by turning with the lamps manual switch to "wake it up" and use the lamp manually?

David, The bulbs require a signal to turn off and on. With the app on iPad or iPhone its easy to turn on. They also make a table top device that you can program. Hope this helps.

Yes, these lights act just like normal light bulbs. I have these installed in lamps next to the bed and they work just fine with the turn switch in the lamp. I also have them in the ceiling and the wall switch works just fine with them.

If you are having it installed by an electrician you should be able to set it yup to run automatically in the event of a power failure or you can set it so that you would only turn a switch and it would come on.

yes. the lamp is functional while plugged in. You can turn it off with the regular switch...or use the remote or your iphone if you are away

Yes, you don't have to use the timer. You can switch it on and off like a typical lamp.

Yes.. there is an override switch on the Sunrise Simulator, so you'll just leave your lamp on all of the time. You can also override and totally shut it off if you don't want it to come on as well, without having to reprogram anything.

Yes, Just plug it into an outlet, and then your lamp etc into it. very Easy!

Yes you can, and it is very easy, you just tap the white area below the LCD display to turn the light on or off, and it works regardless of what mode you are in. You can also change to manual mode if you want to temporarily disable the schedule and only use it manually. It also has random on/off (for security). Again, regardless of which mode you choose you can always turn it off and/or on manually by tapping the switch.

Not sure, I plugged it directly into the wall! I only wanted to control lamp not clocks.

Yes, pressing the little cover door lightly will override the program mode and turn it on or off as needed. So, you would press it once to turn the light on, then press it again to turn the light off, and then it would come on automatically in the morning.

I don't think this matters one bit and quite frankly; I don't recall because set up was so easy. You simply plug your lamp into it, make certain the switch on your lamp is set to the 'on' position, and click the button to have it either switch on or off. Again these things extremely simple to use.

No, you can still turn it on manually. The programming will resume. We really liked these!

If I remember correctly, there is a manual override capability. I believe, if you have a standard on/off switch, you cycle the switch from "on" to "off" back to "on" quickly it will turn on the light. If you cycle it again it will go back to automatic.

No, not using the lamp switch. You can, however, push the button on the center of the Z-Wave control and turn the lamp on or off.

Yes, turns on when you power up. I have not figured out how to manually turn it on yet.

Yes.. Press the button on the lamp once to turn on/off. Press and hold to dim/brighten.

Yes! Set the lamp to "on" and plug it in to the Tork. You can set which times of day or night you want the lamp "on" on the tork itself. :)

Is this true: if you send the "On" command via a z-wave controller to this switch, you can turn the lamp on and off through the lamp switch, until you send the "off" command? Or do these switches automatically turn off when there's no more power draw? But I agree with the statement "if you don't leave the lamp switch "on", you won't be able to remotely turn it on, defeating the purpose of the system".
