Does it turn off in the daytime , otherwise in busy areas it will discharge the batteries?

I have some of these I bought a year ago and they DO NOT come on during the day. I just purchased some more recenlty and they turn on day and night. I don't want to have to remember to turn them all off each day. How do I get the old ones that turn off during the day?

You have to manually turn it off in the daytime. Hint: mount where you have easy access. Definitly worth the cost of quality batteries.

I have 2 on my front porch facing the door. It only turns on when it detects motion. There is only motion when someone is at the front door. So it is perfect for my use! Day or night it only turns on with motion.

I notice it does trigger and go on in the daytime also, but it doesn't stay on for long so I don't know if it would really effect the battery life that much. I love the light! it's bright and lights up my steps better than others I have tried.

They do come on during the day ,stay on for about 15-30 seconds. We have had ours up for about 2 weeks so far. They work well for us.

If you leave it on the last setting, which is for alerts and warnings, it will be silent unless an alert is issued in your area. This will run down the battery. I only turn it on to the middle setting when the weather is ominous or I want the forecast. You will receive alerts and warnings on this setting also.

We leave ours on all day. It only "activates" when there is movement. It works like a charm.

Yes, it is permanently connected to the batteries and doesn't discharge them when not plugged in. However the whole point of the thing is to keep it plugged in during storage so the batteries don't self-discharge and degrade.

It's motion sensored and In the daylight it stays off. I am using one outside and notice it turns on only at night when I walk by it.

It does. However, there is no way to turn the unit off without taking the battery out, so it runs down fast if you don't remember to remove it.

As far as I know, no it doesn't. Simple on/off switch turns on light. I suppose you could keep it "on" all the time and let it run out of juice, which would be replenished the next day when the sun is out?

No need to turn off when not in use. Battery will last a few weeks at full day use.

Yes Brenda, I leave mine on day and night. I only unplug it when I go on vacation.

You probably already have answer, but no, it can't be turned off if it's charged and in the dark.

Yes, and it works perfect. It doesn't have an on off button , but you just keep your batteries in the same bag. Enjoy

Yes, it charges the battery during the day and when darkness falls, the light turns on.

Yes, there is no setting for it to only run at night. I was very happy with the way the camera worked though, and I had the camera up for a month and a half and the batteries weren't down any more than 50%.

Yes- it has a light sensor that disables it from turning on the light during the day- except in test mode.

Yes, the batteries drain much faster if you leave the switch in the ON position.

No, it drains into a reservoir, and a light comes on when it's full so that you know to empty it. It turns itself off when the reservoir fills up so that it doesn't overflow.
