The instruction manual says: "To disable the motion sensor and keep the light continuously on for the night, flip the wall switch off for 3 seconds and then back on. To reset to Security mode, flip switch again off for 3 seconds and back on. If you leave the light on all night it will automatically turn off at dawn and reset to security mode." I didn't install the light with a wall switch and don't use this feature but have no doubt that it works. I have two of these lights and find them very bright. Don't stare at them or you'll see spots! Cheers, Paul.

I just want to add onto what Energy Guy said. Yes. Flipping the switch for 3 seconds will leave the light on. The only interesting thing is, when you wait 3 seconds and flip the switch again the light comes back on even without motion. I thought I was going to have to wait till the morning till it reset itself, but, after about 5 minutes of a constant on, it reset back to motion.

Shut the light off at the source. That is what I have done. When I need it I switch it back on. Otherwise call the company.

If you want the light on constantly, you would turn your wall switch off for 3 seconds then turn wall switch back on.The light should stay on until you turn the wall switch off.If you want it to be dark while you are out there, then you would just turn the wall switch to the off position.

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.

I don't know! I think it goes off automatically after sitting for a while, but I don't know of a button to do it.

the remote does go to sleep (switch off) after a few seconds which is really annoying and I can't find any option to stop that from happening. One way round it is to continually press the light button or keep the shutter release half pressed.

With lights etc away from you there are two buttons the one on the left turns it on and off (you have to hold it down for a while mine works only with the monitor flipped down) the right is sort of an "enter" key, use to set items in menu, with menu off it is like the mode button. In the menu, change motion detection off and the unit will stay on all the time till you turn it off) The battery I got will not charge to the third bar, doesn't last long and I can not find a battery anywhere to replace it.

You can turn it off using the FN key and the dim backlight option until it's off.

Yes, that is the way we have ours.we can turn it by the switch inside if we want.it is left though in the automaticposition so it only comes on from detected motion.

It can not be turned off. The light is very dim, though. It only gets bright when the motion detector is set off.

There's also a sensor slider switch between lamp and reset switch... I believe it's a motion sensor. If it does not sense any movement for awhile, it will shutoff. Switch this to off if you want the stars continuously on or timed for an hour.

No, you can't and it can be distracting if you're using the unit for relaxing, sleeping, etc. What I've done is to put a small thin canvas piece of cloth around it; it blocks the strong led light and yet you can see some of the led light for interpreting what the unit is doing. Hope it helps.

In the settings menu there is a "Backlight shut off" option where you can adjust it to any where from 1 minute to "Never."

I don't think you can turn it off the but the light from the display is very minimal. Only the numbers are lit, no backlighting.

I'm not sure if you can turn it off. The cord for this product is quite long. I plug and tug it in the way that I won't see it. I have to agree that the LED light is very powerful tho.

I've not tried that. But I will say this is one of the best motion lights I've owned. Very low false trigger rate. Great brightness.

You apparently want to keep the switch turned on all the time and have this motions sensor switch turn one of the lights off upon detection of motion. Yes you can do that, provided the three lights are wired parallel.

Isabel- No, it's not motion activated. It stays on when it gets dark and goes out when light again.

There is NO MOTION SENSOR ON THIS FIXTURE. It is strictly a dusk to dawn unit. You could wire in a separate motion sensor to control the light. If the fixture "sees" daylight it will turn off. I don't know of a reason to have the light on unless it was "dark".
