What setting does the switch turn to when it is first plugged in (i would like to turn on via light switch, and dim by touch)

In my experience, it turns onto the lowest setting. You can increase the light by touching the dimmer pad.

I have no problem with my lamp. I use it mostly with the USB port on my computer. If you hold down gently on the on/off switch the lamp will dim. Tap the on/off switch and the light will go out, tap the on/off switch again and it should come back on in bright mode - at least that is what mine does.

You shouldn't, try flipping (toggle) the light switch on and off multiple times. Typically, each time you toggle the switch, it should change to a different pattern/color.

There will be a small light that stays on on the on/off switch. The top brighter light turns off when you push the button twice. The little light isn't too bright. Just turn it away from you. Hope this helps.

I have the older model but I recently bought this one for a friend. She loves it! She said she does flips the wall switch to turn hers on but u can use the foot switch. She said if you use the foot switch it clicks once and goes on and again to shut off.. Mine has the switch at the top where u can click three times dim,brighter,and brightest. I will ask her when she gets home from work if there is also a swtich at the top.

Use this address and look under "Chang The Lamp's Capacitance". It looks like you may have a defective switch. http://www.ehow.com/how-does_4885267_touch-lamps-work.html

it will turn back on to its last setting (I just tired it). So if you had it set on red for example and un plugged it, then plugged it back in it will come on red once its plugged back in

By on/off wall switch. By the way, my light is even more beautiful than the picture.

There are two ways to turn on....one way makes it motion lighting, the second way is to keep it on until you turn it back off. Hope this helps you.

Sure, easy, Jeff. On the TOP there are 2 sections: the longer section contains the little LED bulbs. The other shorter section, on top, has an oblong gray shape with a sort-of slim black v-shape inside of it. With your finger TOUCH the top of the oblong shape. Voila! Light goes on. Slide your finger down to the bottom of the little shape. light goes out. that's it. The whole thing is touch activated. No switches! Let me know if this was helpful! (You can also just touch the top of the grey shape to turn on and just touch the bottom to turn off. (Sliding your finger up and down gives you gradations of light from brightest to dimmest and off.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. There's a little button right next to where you plug in the cord. It almost looks like a little light itself.

Dimming works great, IF it turns on. And whether or not it turns on is a crap shoot. Sometimes it does turn on, sometimes, no matter what I do, it will NOT turn on. And, conversely, sometimes it won't turn off! I have even tried wetting my finger first to see if that helps (like I occasionally have to do with my smart phone), but it has no effect. If they had just put a regular toggle switch on there, this problem would not exist.

Not sure what you're referring to..."soft start"? But it does turn on gradually to the level at which you've previously set. You simply press n hold to increase light brightness then release. If you press n hold a second time, the light will begin to dim gradually until completely off (must be an incandescent light, not to exceed 500 watts). Once you're happy with how bright or dim you've set the unit, and it receives a X10 "on" signal, the light will turn on to the brightness you set it at. Most people just put it on full brightness.

Is it flipping on and off or just blinking? It seems to have a setting where the first switch on can end up being blinky.
