Doe these lights have a timed automatic turn off feature? I purchased some battery lights that automatically turn off after 30 min &amp; I don't want that

They do not auto-power down, they stay lit until the button is pressed again.

Yes, at my place they do appear to stay on all night but never stayed up the entirety of the night to really check. One year roughly now on the current batteries and still going. They appear easy to replace. I believe there is a switch in the back to turn them off if I recall correctly. It provides nice accent or local lighting but don't expect it to light up the entire yard like a spot light.

Hello Paul, theese are not battery operated, there is another type that are. I don't agree with the answer that they are "junk", I own a professional DJ company, and I use them for "up lighting", and they look great! Craig

Ours only come on when motion is detected and it is dark. They do not come on when it is daylight. This must be the default because we did not change any "setting".

We've had ours for a few months, and they're still working just fine with no signs of dimming. They don't come on at all during the daytime, and when triggered, they only come on for about 5-10 seconds. I think this helps prolong the battery life.

I use the option "manage delays", so after 4 minutes delay i turn off the lights. Btw, the sensor reset after 4 minutes.

I didn't use the timer for these lights but did use a timer function on others so can't help you. With the lights I used that had timers, I did realize that I should put the batteries into the lights at exactly the time I wanted them to turn on each evening because that's when they would automatically turn on in subsequent days; so if you want your lights to turn on at 5 pm each evening, that is when you should install the batteries which effectively is when the timer settings begin.

Mine have been installed for about 10 months and still do everything they should. The light lasts all night with some of them. I dont know about batteries...the ones they came with are all I have needed.

Having the lights on does take a lil from the battery without sacrificing allot of power. Note these are led lights and do not consume not as m much power as you think. But having them off will give you about 30 minutes of extra use after a full charge

They can not be set to come on at night automatically, I turn ours on at dusk and off at daylight.

I did not do this, but I see no reason why not. I did plug mine in to a timer as there was no way to shut them off until sunrise (other than unplugging or a switch. A dimmer should work fine. These are worth their weight in gold for quality, ease of install, consistency of quality and design.

Yes, the lights go off completely, unless you select the "dim/full" option. I didn't go out to look at how this was done when I set it up, but that's how I set it up at installation. So, I don't use the dimming feature, just on/off. And, the on/off is enabled only at dusk. They go off on a timed setting, also selectable.

I saw Steve's response on the batteries. I've not experienced that. However, I only turn them on when getting into my closet and then immediately turn them off.

I've had the same problem. But sometimes it does turn them off and others it doesn't. I use them for exterior out door string light.

I think they are for leaving them on continuously after dark or for motion-sensitive only after dark. I left mine in the position that they came in which is motion sensitive as I do not need or want them to be on continuously.

Hi Edna, Mine stay on a bit during the day, but only in my darker rooms. They are triggered by a light sensor, and the threshold does allow for some ambient light. If the light doesn't bother you, the electricity usage shouldn't be a concern (they're supposed to represent about $1/yr).

No. they are wired just like regular stair lights. We connected ours to a switch in which we can turn them off.
