Has anyone had a problem with the light turning itself on in the middle of the night. Mine often does that - nothing is touching it.

I have had my Fulcrum light in the kitchen for several months and have not experienced this problem.

No, however slightest touch on the sensor will set it off. Which is a good thing! We have two.

I have had no problems with the light turning itself on. I bought 2 of them and it's great to be able to just tap the top to turn on the light. Maybe yours has a shortage in the wiring. If it's still within the return period, you might try to have it replaced with a new one.

Mine is fine. I put it on my night stand right next to my face and it doesn't turn on in the middle of the night. Maybe someone/something is playing in your room...just kidding.

Touch lamps are very sensitive to radio frequency energy. Check to make sure nothing is nearby that may be causing the light to turn on. I own a different touch light. If I leave my cell phone too close to the touch light, it will cause the light to turn on.

I have not had the problem..I would probably take it to a lamp shop...or an electrician.

Same problem with mine. Purchased in 2/14 and it started having the light come on for no reason in May 2015. This an apparent problem with the model and we

try covering up the day/night sensor with your finger and see if it still flickers? if not, then you might be getting reflections so it sees that it is dark, turns on, illuminates its own sensor, and thinks it is daytime again. I had a problem like that with a motion sensor light. might double check your power source if it's not that. mine has been running solid every night for months using a POE adapter.I've had mine

Yes, mine is still working fine. Power went off tonight due to an accident. Turned it on and sat it on the counter. I'm impressed with the amount of light it gives.

It works great in mine - here's a tip though.....for some reason my bulb would turn itself off every few hours when it was dark out, perhaps being triggered by some reflection of its own light. I put some pieces of masking tape over the light sensor to make it less sensitive and that fixed it, now it's on all night long but still off during the day.

The light stays on all night. It's just very dim. Then when it senses motion it brightens. I don't know if its possible to turn it completely off.

I have some self-contained motion sensing lights and one of them started strobing. I had to fiddle with the adjustments on the unit. It has sensitivity, shade/sun and a couple of other adjustments. If your motion activated light has adjustments like this try changing the settings. I think the light goes on then the sensor thinks it is daylight and turns the light off then it repeats. You may also have to put a shield between the light and the sensor.

My guess is you got a defective one. They are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so it wouldn't be a long shot if you ended up getting one that was malfunctioning the way you are describing. My advice is to just send it back to Amazon so they can replace it with another one. I know it's an inconvenience, but in the end, you'll be glad you did. It's a great light, especially when it works the way it's supposed to.

Im sorry... No suggestions... That sadly is exactly what happened with me. I just threw it away after about a week of it not turning on showing any motion with the lights. Maybe flip the black switch on the bottom and it may work.

I don't have this problem, but it sounds like you have an electrical short in the lamp. I would return it. Good luck.

Mine has done it on rare occasions. I just reach over and touch it off. Thus far it has not been a real concern. Several years ago I had touch on lamps in our living room and same thing happened occasionally. So, based on my experience, as long as it doesn't become an issue, I just kind of ignore it. I think this happens with these type lamps. Otherwise I really like my lamp.

I'm not really sure. All I know is that when mine gets into the dark the light automatically comes on and when it's light in the room it goes off. I'm sorry for not being able to help you. You might go to a store that sells new ones that used to sell the one like you had, such as radical and maybe they could fix or recomend someone.

Mine does the same thing and it works perfectly - my suggestion is don't worry about the lights - also, sometimes you have to give the system time to change so don't be in a big rush - good luck, I really like it.

It should come back on in whichever cycle you have it in. My light works that way. Neil

I think it is the ON position. On mine, if it is ON and I plug it in, the light goes off. And if I pull it out of the socket, simulating a power outage, the light comes on. If it is OFF/Charge position, you can pull it out of the socket and nothing happens. If it is in the night light/charge position, the night light is always on. The only think I am not sure of is if it getting charged when it is in the ON position and plugged in.Sorry, I noticed too late that geeker answered the same way.
