Is there really a 10 minute auto shut off? I will be using these for a play Camelot &amp; they will need to be on continuously for at least 30 minutes

Sent them back and ask for a replacement or your money back. I remember my last a lot longer than hour, however, I did not leave my on for more than an 1 1/2, now that I think about it. Hope that help.

Mine have not shut off since I installed them. i would also recommend switching to LED bulbs, as they throw off MUCH less heat compared to standard spot lights.

I have not found an auto turnoff one....I sure would like it though....I forget to turn all of mine off very frequently. No Big problem if just 8 or so hours but guess it could be if left on for days.

They stay on if they are playing something (if sound is coming out). Once the input stops, they turn themselves off quickly. I don't know the exact length of time, but I'm guessing 5-10 minutes. I agree that it is annoying, because I use them across the room to boost my TV sound and so I have to get up and turn them back on a lot. If you were using them at a desk, it probably wouldn't matter as much.

They are on timers. They go off 4 hours after you turn them on, they are amazing!!!!

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.

the ones I purchased a few years ago did not have auto shut off. That is why I bought them after lots of research.

Mine didn't turn off automatically. As far as the sound, I thought they were great as long as they lasted, but for only 3 months is not very long for something to last. Maybe I got a lemon.

The devices will NOT shut off by themselves. You need to manually turn the nub to off or unplug them from the power sauce, other wise they will stay on. So they won't shut off in 2 hrs.

they will come on at any time. i like these - but i ended up getting the longer one that has the switch to turn them off for that particular reason. here's the one that i got that has the off switch. the one above does eat up a lot of batteries if you don't turn it off. alternatively you can turn the batteries around or put the small piece of paper in to turn them off during the day. but i just got this one so i can turn it off. was on my way out the door to work yesterday & didn't have time to look it up. link below. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AZR6SUY/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1#

Mine turn off after 10 minutes. Two units, each functions identically. Yours is probably faulty. Mine are in a closet, and they only turn on when I open the door. Are yours in an area where there is a lot of movement? That would keep them on.

There is a little black button to push for on and off and setting what mode you want them in. They will automatically shut off after about 5 minutes if the wheels are not in motion.

it has a 10 min shut off? my kids routinely good to bed with these and they wake up with them still going in the morning

Yes, they have a 5 hour timer which works great! I"ve set them for around 2030 and they go off automatically after five hours. After the initial setting they illuminate and extinguish all by themselves at the same time every day. Hope this helps!

According to the manual it is SUPPOSED to turn itself off ( doesnt say about lights off power down, so I assumed it meant power off the internal amp) after 30 min of inactivity. I have yet to see a sign of that happening even after hours of inactivity. If you are brave you can TRY HK support, but good luck with that. I think i would rather try to communicate with the stray cats I feed about sun spots!!
