Does this work with an outlet connected to a light switch? Will it function if the power source is turned on and off without touching the lamp itself?

i don't know for sure, but my experience with digital push button power switches means that you would have to manually turn it on after it looses power. I'll check tonight when I get home and can let you know tomorrow.

Yes & No ... I just moved mine to a switch and it will turn the light off , if already on, but you must touch it to turn it back on. I would not recommend it if you are looking for a lamp that will switch on and off without having to hunt for it in the dark and touch it. It always has to be within an arm's reach.

I've not had any issues with my lamp. The switch works sensing body capacitance (a very small amount of electrical current) when you touch it directly. It won't activate by touching with a piece of plastic or other non-conducting material. Dry hands (as might occur in winter) may not have enough capacitance to register. Also, oil and dirt on the switch would act as an insulator, wipe the switch with a cloth and a gentle household cleaner.

It is a DC light that works off if an 12 volt battery system. The only way u could make it work from a wall AC outlet plug Is to get an AC to DC adapter.

It certainly does not require addition power source for the switch mechanism to function but the light or other device you attach to it will, of course. I assume they limit the voltage to 12 volts. I used mine to activate LED lights upon opening a lid. I actually only used a 9 volt battery, which powered the lights just fine.

mine does not. It needs to be cycled back on... However, the unit can be sensitive to power surges and things like hair dryers turning on and off. Occasionally, you will just see the light turn on by itself. Not much of a problem, unless it goes on while you are away. I understand this is an issue with all switches that work on a conduction system. (like those lamps where you just touch the base and they turn on)

if the switch controlling the light fixture is on then the outlets on this adapter will be on. there is nothing special in this adapter to control the power.

It does for me on an outlet that I control with a switch. Should work the same with a timer. It's been a great accent light for us.

Yes, it should, because essentially this is just a switch that turns off the power, just like unplugging it from the wall. If you plug your touch lamp into the SensorPlug then the lamp will only turn on when the SensorPlug detects motion.

It does not have a power switch. I want to say it does draw power when there are no devices connected, but not sure.

Not on this device. Only one switch perhaps another device or if the lamp has an on/off could work for you

Yes. The switch is relay-driven, so it will work with any kind of light bulb or lamp. It makes an audible click when it operates. In fact, you can use it with any appliance that can handle being on a light switch. Just don't exceed the switch's power rating (stated on the product page).

Not sure but I use my for a lamp. It works well but occasionally turns the lamp on by itself so think is susceptible to some kind of interference.

Sorry, I can't help. I used this fixture in a rental unit and it is wired to use the switch on the fixture onlyMy guess is that if it is hardwired to the wall switch you will need to keep the fixture on and just use the wall switch. That is true with lamps that are plugged into a wall outlet that is wired to a wall switch.

No it doesn't work that way. The lamp does not remember its on/off state. Once disconnected from power, you have to switch it on after connection.

Yes, it will work if the battery is discharged. The light will turn on as soon as you plug it into an outlet.

Yes, it does, It also has another cord to link it to a second unit, so it can be powered and switched from the same outlet. This light is very weak, even though you didn't ask that question.

If the electrical source for this product is your lamp that does not turn off, yes it will work. Anything then plugged into the device will turn on with movement. Or do you mean if the lamp is plugged into this device? In that case you can set it up so the lamp turns on when it senses motion and turn off when no motion is sensed for 5 minutes.
