Can the automatic dusk to dawn feature be bypassed by a switch.

I'm sure you could since the light sensor is just an inline module. If you leave it off just put it on a switchable circuit or you'll have to splice the line, which might mess with the waterproof nature of the line.

If you are not wanting the dusk to dawn feature then you don't even have to connect it. It is designed to be connected to the cord coming from the power outlet and before any lights if the user would like the auto ON/OFF function, for example [POWER OUTLET &gt; Dusk to Dawn box &gt; LIGHT &gt; LIGHT &gt; LIGHT &gt; etc...] and if you don't want auto ON/OFF then connect [POWER OUTLET &gt; LIGHT &gt; LIGHT LIGHT &gt; etc...]. In regard to bypassing with a switch I couldn't answer that considering the connections for the DtD box and the lights have a male & female connection that seals to be water resistent when threaded together. The DtD box is quite small & thin and sealed to be watertight as well. I hope this helps you.

Yes it can. The Dusk to Dawn is the little box shown in the picture... If you just bypass it by simply not using it. The lights will always stay on....Just to let you know. I use mine on a 14' waterfall in my back yard. 8 months now and still working great! They are well built and put out a good amount of light. You will have no regrets buying them. Enjoy!

Yes !but actually what you would do it's simply don't connect it, but to turn it on and off you would have to cut the power to the outlet used to plug it !

Yes, the switch has a very dim locator light to assist in finding it in the dark. The "option" refers to a tiny switch on the dimmer that allows you to disable the light off if desired. The installation instructions explain it.

If you just want to run the normal daylight lights on a timer it will work just fine. To switch over to the blue night LEDs you would have to do that manually.

Hey Bigtooth, there is an automatic photocell that deactivates the unit in daylight, ..

Yes selector switch for dusk to dawn and 4,6 hours switch. Very nice haven't had to touch once installed.

Yes. You would want to put a switch on the power side. Also it will remember which setting was last used. So a pattern change button us really optional.

I have not tried the dusk-to-dawn option. Only the motion sensor, and it works great for my purpose of lighting a woodshed.

There is a basic fault with this item it does switch on at Dusk but will not switch off at dawn, you have to do this manually!!

Yes. Turn switch off for 1 second and back on, and it'll stay on for the rest of the night (Manual mode). Daylight will reset it back to Auto mode. If you want to set it back to Auto mode, turn switch off for 1 minute and back on.

No. One button press makes them illuminate for a minute or so, before automatically switching off.

Automatic switching never worked for me, and I don't believe there's an. Option to turn it on or off.

No, not on the light itself. This only has the sensor that turns it on at dusk and off at first light. You could install a switch in the circut, but it would not turn on during daylite hours, only at night.

Sure can! I have mine turn on at "dusk" off at 11pm then on at 5am and off at "dawn". I've even adjusted my dusk and daw -/+ 15 min to give a buffer. When you program your area it'll ask you confirm the sunrise and sunset, you can easily adjust them. These really are set and forget.

Yes, if it's programmed to turn on every 24 hours you can manually turn it off when it is on with the button and not change the daily "on" time for the next cycle.
94879
Yes....you can press the The button that you change the light pattern with go through one by one and one of them has to outside lights off tht is wht I did

No you can't! It can be set to time start@end with a maual on off switch it can't be set by day. Hope this helps.

It is a little confusing since the advertising literature mentions a manual override switch but there is nothing labeled manual override. There are essentially only two settings an auto setting where the lights turn on with motion only at night and turn off according to the TIME dial setting. The Dusk to Dawn Setting which I guess is closest to what you want is activated by turning the light switch that controls the light OFF and ON twice within three seconds. Once you do that the light should come one at DUSK and stay on for 6 hours. After 6 hours it will revert to the timer setting and come on and off when motion activated. It will stay that way unless you once again cycle the power on and off within three seconds. You cannot set this light one time to stay on as a "Floodlight". You have to cycle the power each day if you want the unit to come on for 6 hours at dusk each day.
