Its my understanding that this light come ON only when its after dark and when it detects motion. Is this correct?

That would be a correct statement! As the instructions state, "Photocell keeps the lighting off during daylight hours". I have an unfounded assumption that the photocell is behind the opaque cover. Other manufactures place a photocell conspicuously on the the bottom where you can see it and cover it for setting detector sensitivity and placement in daylight conditions, that has certain advantages.

This light has 3 positions switch. In auto position, the light will turn on at night when it detected motion within range (it has light sensor). In manual mode, light stay on like a flashlight. In off mode, unit is off. Hope my answer help.

There are two ways to turn on....one way makes it motion lighting, the second way is to keep it on until you turn it back off. Hope this helps you.

Mine is mounted to an outdoor entrance ceiling. The light does not turn on in daylight, it comes on with motion in the dark. It also has a timer you set for how long it will remain on after the motion detection leaves the detection zone. It also can be set up to favor a certain direction and distance of motion to turn the light on.

No it only goes on when someone or something passes near it and stays on bright for approx. a minute. I have seen the light on at 5 am the next morning.

One or the other, not both. To use the motion sensor the switch must be "on"; then when it is light outside the lamp is "off", but when motion is detected in the dark, it comes "on".

The light is on all the time day and night even no motion detected. I changed the batteries with a new one and still the same.

It will light up when it senses motion, not simply because it is dark outside. If they are not working, I would first check the batteries.

When there's no motion it does not turn on. When it does come on it stays on for about 30 sseconds after the motion subsides. I'm not aware of any motion sensing solar lights that stay on all night.

No. The unit has a light sensor that will not allow motion sensor to turn on until dark.

There is a dim light during dark hours when there is no motion, when there is motion it only comes on for about 30 seconds if the motion stops. It stays off completely in daylight.

Hmmmm. Never really noticed. So I went and checked it out. The red led comes on when motion is detected. It blinks only when movement is detected. Otherwise it is out. Hope that solves your question. P'Cola Bob.

The light can be used like a normal light or it can be an automatic motion activated light. One the side where you see the switch, there are 3 positions OFF-ON-Auto. OFF is OFF all the time. ON is ON all the time. AUTO is it will turn ON when it detects motion and then turn off by itself after a few seconds delay from the last detected motion. I hope that helps.

If it is connected properly I believe it comes on when you first turn power on. If it does not come on then, put your thumb or a piece of opaque tape (like electrical tape) over the sensor to simulate darkness and it should turn on what ever it is connected to w/in a few minutes.

Yes, our experience with the light (before it completely stopped working), was that it was always on in the dark, albeit at reduced illumination. Once the motion sensor was activated, the light would temporarily get quite a bit brighter.

Remember, it is motion-activated, not light-activated. I have noticed that the bulb I have in the basement (and there are two windows in the area) does come on (briefly) when I enter that section. I don't see it as a problem because it is on for only a couple of minutes.

It come on when it sees motion. There is no delay. You can adjust the time the light stays on only.
