Can you turn lights off at night? I am thinking that this would go on a patio and would kill the mood when I am sitting out there.

You have two options here. You can either use the wrench that comes with it to open the sealed control panel and switch it from automatic lights on at night to off, or you can hook it up to a switch and keep the switch off while you are outside. It was tough to set the time and date (like a watch from the 90's) and I am unsure if the time/date will get wiped if you hook it up to a switch. It really is designed more as a security light than it is a porch light. I can tell you that it is well built, but you need the right application for it.

No, this light is for security and to record intruders or ?. If you want just spots on your patio this isn't the one you want.As a security light etc it is a great unit

Unfortunately, this model does not have a battery back-up. So if you turn it off it will reset to the default mode. If you think a bright light will kill the mood imagine a bright light along with the loud announcement of: "You Are Trespassing!!!!" Scared me to death the first time our power failed. There are other similar models that do have a battery backup so that it will not reset/loose any video when the power is cut. Good luck!

some times they stay on all day. Some times they stay on all night. Some times they work on motion sensor. Some times the tresspassing voice talks all day and night even though it is also turned off. I have 3 of these and the previous 5 were the same. It deters crime and that is about it. The thing quits taking pictures long before the lights burn out.

Yes but then what the point. It will only capture pictures during the day. The night pictures will be all black

You will want a brighter set of bulbs if this is your only light source at night I think because I can see shadows and you'll be dancing around with your lights trying to get rid of it. Indoors at night you could get away with it, but outdoors as the only source? I'd want more options. At least one brighter bulb.

Yes, my light doesn't turn on at all during daylight, it's set to come on only for a few minutes when it senses motion at night - but I believe it also has a setting that you can set it to turn on at dusk and off at dawn if you want it to stay on all night long (but I'm not 100% sure of that, I've never wanted a light to burn all night long which was why I bought a light with a motion sensor). Hope this helps!

Yes, you can turn it off. There are three different settings, keep pushing the button to make it brighter and to turn it off.

Yes and No. Yes, you can turn the light on and leave it on overnight. But no, it will turn itself off in the morning with when daylight comes. Maybe too smart for its own good, but good enough for me :-)

Yes, you can turn off the light. If fact you can choose between 3 different light intensity.It works for 5 hours. I love mine!

It has options to turn off and on.. I have my light come on at dust and shut off at midnight .. I also believe it has more than on option for times. you would need to plug into the device itself

Well, I tried it out in my bedroom but had to turn the lights off to see it clearly. And we have to wait until the sun goes down to use it outside. So I would say no.

I have it outside under my patio, problem it will only stay on for a while, once it gets hot it will kick off and once it cools down enough you will have to back and click it back on. I had mine for about two months and it stop working.

Not needed during the day as I have some lighting from outside. If I want it on during the night time I can turn it on.
1455755
Yes you can. Although I bought a neon air attachment which doesn't have the option to turn off the light..

Yes, you can turn it off to. I use this with Led bulbs and work's fine for me so far.

yes, the lights can be turned off. there are four scenarios you can use for the mist and lights.

Depends on how you have it configured. If you have it set to turn the lights on when motion is detected you can either turn it off by pressing the button (it will stay off for a period of time, but not as long as you might like if you intend to hang around) or, as JK in SD suggested, pull the tab at the bottom (which disables the device). I wouldn't treat the tab as a regular solution, and wouldn't buy this product for use in a room where you would regularly like the light to be off (unless manual on occupancy off is what you have in mind). Also, it has a light sensor, so it automatically turns on based on ambient light.

I have this and as far as I can tell you can't. But it does add a nice mood when lights are down low, so why would you?

Hi- I need to be able to do that! Ours is turning off after 30 min and we want it on all night. Not sure which switch does this.
