one of the reviews said that they have an auto switch so as to not have to hold it down. Do these come with the auto switch and how will you order it?

I had one once with the auto switch and didn't like it. I find the manual switch gives me better heat control.

I don't know if an auto switch is available BUT, I view the switch as a safety device so that if you fall asleep you will not burn yourself. Each individual has a different tolerance to heat what may be too hot may not get jot enough for someone else. I have found the switch as is just fine.

The one I ordered came with the switch that you hold down. My chiropractor recommended it as it gets hotter faster. But Battle Creek Equipment DOES make one with the timer switch and temperature adjustment. I believe it may cost a few dollars more. Here is the manufacturer's website to check model numbers. http://battlecreekequipment.com/product_detail.cfm?pid=29 You can also view all other models available from this site. I went here to get information and then make my purchase from Amazon. Good luck!

They do Julia. You can go to the Thermophore website and order it. I personally prefer the manual switch because I tend to fall asleep with the heating pad on. However, after posting my last comment raving about this heating pad, the manual switch has broken and since I made the purchase 6 weeks ago I have been unable to get either Amazon or Battlecreek to help me with regard to a replacement. I am very disappointed.

No it does not auto switch. It has a knob, not digital settings to program. Pretty warm on warm not bubbling though.

They do not. I have a queen size new adjustable bed; placed them correctly and it was a total waste of $$. I'm going to try bed, bath and beyond (in store ) so I don't waste my $$ on shipping back if new product doesn't work

There is indeed a safety switch, below the button, that needs to be pushed down in order for it to light. In my experience with it, the safety switch has never posed a problem and it is easy to switch down with one finger. So yes it does have a safety switch, but no it's never been a nuisance for me.

No they do not. But I love mine and have no problem with them falling down.

Automatically when put into reverse. They tie in with the reverse light wiring.

The answer by R.L. is correct. The buttons on the side of the light toggle ON and OFF by simply depressing them. They do not slide. They can be ON individually or simultaneously.

They must have purchased one with the 'options'. I think some of them had light sensors. I just ordered the usual plug-in, off/on switch, but mine is placed correctly right side up at the bottom of the cover. It is beautiful. I actually ordered 2 of them. Put up the second one for future use, maybe I should check to see it's made correctly!

They come in pairs so I'm not sure on that one. Yes it comes with a switch, but mine are on my jeep so I have everything running to a switch pannel. They're bright as all get out though. Love them.

yes i have mine in just manual mode, if you set it to manual mode it will not continue to use auto select. this is a great switch have had mine for over 6 months and never had a problem with it.

No, they must be connected to a switch. The switch could be automatic in the sense of on at dark and off at light. But most of the time these work best to augment floor or stair steps light.

No they are not touch. They have the traditional turning switch right below the bulb on the lamp. I had commented that if they had a pull chain that would be nice. I love my lamps!

Mine only came with two loose wires. Had to put an electric cord on it. I don't use a switch with it. As to installation, it depends on what you want to do with it.

I do not believe they do. I do think they are pretty secure because I have to pull fairly hard to get them to slide out, but I do not think they lock in when the top is closed. I will pay more attention when I get home tonight.

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

I had to order them separately off of Amazon. If they don't have them, you will have to buy them from the manufacturer. I hope this helps.

They do not. It's a kind of cloth cord that's nice because it doesn't get tangled, but there's no control button.
