Can I touch the shade to turn it on?

Eh no.... it has to be the metal base. http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/science-questions/touch-sensitive-lamp.htm

No. Just the metal part if the lamp. Both of my lamps work great and I have had no problems.

No. Just the metal part. And it worked only on one of mine. The other was permanently on and had to be unplugged to turn off.

Yes you can. There is a switch on the back that gives you different settings for the light, on of which is "off".

Yes. There is a button on the top surface labeled UV. That button contols the uv light being on/off.

Yes. I was not able to install mine, as I could not operate the shade if installed. Found out well after the return time.

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. :)

Not really. The lengthened dome on top clicks into the base and actually acts as a button (bop it on top to turn it on/off or access other functions). Best you could probably do is throw some cloth over the top. The dome acts as a nice shade though if quality of light is more important than aesthetics.

Yes, there is a button to turn it on and a separate one for the light. You can leave it off if you choose too.

Not sure but make sure it's turn on and the light came on to let you know it's ready for usage

Yes, enough so I can use it in the dark if necessary. There's a key to turn it on and off.

Yes you can; before I open the door to the house, I turn the lights on with my iPhone

Sorry, I don't own this lamp. It has to be hard-wired, I needed a lamp that could be plugged into an outlet. That was not clear when I ordered it and had to be sent back. That being said, I would think you would be able to change the shade.

It has a pull cord up inside the shade. You could wire it to an inline switch if you prefer

Definitely. If not by just moving things, a simple wave of your hand in front of it will definitely turn it on.

Yes you can. This is not a touch sensitive, rather a real mechanical on/off switch. It will go on with a timer.

Yes. There is an auto on when you walk into the garage and you can turn the lights on manually as well.

There are two buttons on front bottom of the lamp, one for each light. You can turn one or both lights on. You can plug your phone or other devices right into the front of the lamp. So convenient.
