Does the outlet work with the light off or does the light have to be on for the outlet to be on?

As long as there is power to the light,it will work without the light being on...Mine works great on my back screened in porch for powering my fan and radio.Its great and cheap.

The outlet works when the light blub is on and off. I have a small LED nightlight plugged into mine so I can find it in my dark outside craft area.

I have one of these and the outlet and switch are seperate. The outlet is always live (assuming it is wired correctly).

You assume correctly. It controls the outlet. You plug your lamp into the control unit that's plugged into the outlet. You turn on your lamp or whatever electrical devise you've plugged in, then you use the control to turn the outlet on or off.

It just controls the outlet. However, as one answerer commented I thought mine was acting erratically too. However, I soon learned it was the lamp that was causing the problem. Switched it to the outlet on a different lamp and had no problem.

You have to plug and unplug, but I bought a switch that turns it on and off that I plugged it into, otherwise no.

Yes, plugs into socket. Stand it up to turn on light. Lay it on its side to turn it off!

I'm not sure what the question is but the outlet light turns off as soon as any other light enters the room whether from natural light or from a light in the room. The light itself is long lasting. A great product

The light will automatically turn off 1 hour after reaching full power. The switch does need to be on for it to work.

No on/off, it has wires and needs to be attached to electrical wires...not a lamp , so no conventional plug.

Hi,If there are no devices connected to the surge protector, the Protected light would be off. It would just turn on if there are some devices connected to it. However, if there are no lights are turned on from the surge protector even though there are devices connected to it then it means that there's a problem with the surge protector.Thanks,Belkin Supporthttp://www.belkin.com/us/support

BOTH lights should be on for it to be properly working. It may or may not be protecting your appliance if both lights aren't on....I wouldn't take the chance since it most probably is supposed to be protecting an expensive appliance. Try another outlet to make sure the problem isn't the surge cube.

The light only turns on if you choose, it will work with or without the light.

You plug it in and charge it and the light only comes on when there is no power going to the unit. If you pull it out of the wall plate it will illuminate.

No, the light is operated by the switch independent of the opener (you can even use it without an opener). The light will stay on until you turn it off.

There is a switch on the unit that is used to turn the connected device on. It is similar to the manual switch on a timer. If the switch is in the "on" position, the lamp can be used normally. If it is in the "off" position, no power is supplied to the lamp.
