Does the light stay on as long as it detects motion? One reviewer said it goes off after 30 seconds and doesn't stay on even with more motion.

The light will not stay on continously once the motino sensor is tripped, unless its malfunctioning or running low on battery power. I found it says on for 30 seconds, then turn off regardless if you are in front of the sensor moving around. It will then to take about a full second before it will come on again if you move around the sensor.

Once the motion censor is tripped - the light stays on for about 30 seconds then goes off. If it detects motion again it will go on again quickly, but does not stay constantly on - it would be going off and then on again / every 30 seconds or so. The light is very bright - lights up the whole front walk way, I LOVE it - and the batteries last a long time. I will be getting another one soon.

It has been my experience that my Dorcy 41-1071 stays on as long as I am moving around in the range of its sensor. I just love it!

I have 5 of these lights. They all work great and detect even the motion of cats. They will come right back on if more motion is detected.

The light comes on and goes off after about 30 sec. If you stood still in front of the light and then moved as soon as the light went off it would come straight back on again for another 30 secs.. This would continue until there was no more movement

I have three of them and they go right back on if there is more motion. maybe the one you have is defective.

Yes, I think there was a switch to set how long you want the light to stay on when motion is detected.

It's a motion detector light, so I don't see why it should stay on for 2 hours. Mine is set for 10 minutes, or so. I've had mine for a year or two, and haven't yet replaced the bulb.

It is not a motion detector light. Not sure how long the light will stay on, but I have had them on for at least four hours and they worked fine.

No. If in automatic mode it will only come on if it detects motion. The only other modes are either full off or full on (but off during daylight hours). I love this light and have decided to replace my old lights with these. Maybe of interest: I have installed my light on a remote system so I can control it from anywhere in the house with the remote control. Hope this helps.

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.

Isabel- No, it's not motion activated. It stays on when it gets dark and goes out when light again.

If you keep moving around in front of the light, it stays on. However, I don't think that's going to be an issue. We have some other lights (not Mr. Beams but similar) which are also wireless, LED, motion-activated, and they're located just off our back porch. We also have two terriers and a doggie door back there. The dogs run in and out at night and set off those lights all the time, and they stay on for a while because the dogs are running around the yard and passing by them frequently. Those lights only have AA batteries in them, yet have been burning well since April without a battery change. The Mr. Beams lights use D batteries, so it's my guess they'll last even longer yet. And the Mr. Beams lights are brighter and were also cheaper than the first lights we bought. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

I've not had this problem. I've owned 2 of this product for 4+ years. As long as the product sees movement, the light will stay on. I have mine placed in 2 separate rooms. The lights will come on as soon as the door is open to either room. Make sure that NO MOTION is seen by the device and it will not turn on unless it is defective.

It only turns on when there's motion. I've actually been having trouble with the two. They periodically do rapid blinking when motion is detected. Very irritating. I'm looking to replace them.

It is not a motion detector. It is just a standard floodlight operated by a switch! It is important to note that motion detector lighting require a switch. if turned off/on quickly, it will stay on. If turned off, a moment later turned on, it will cycle as desired!

Light stays on 15 - 20 seconds unless sensor detects additional movement. Not adjustable.

I think that the LED stays on for app 20 sec.. We cannot program. There is no switch or adjusting tool. Only motion sensor will turn the light on. It will stay on as Long as your motion is kept detected. I love this light. We do not have to keep the light on the steps. Very bright. I will order more.

James, It is motion activated, so it will only turn on when something moves in front of it. If you need more specific information, or the light is not turning on for some reason, feel free to shoot me an email under our seller account.

the light can be set to stay on for up to 15 minutes when activated by motion. I have had mine over a year and have not had to change the bulb yet. I expect it to last several years.

It won't come on when the sun is out and is motion-activated. It only stays on for a few minutes then goes off. It was very bright when it worked, but mine stopped working soon after I bought it.

Pat, the light works with a motion defection sensor and has several time on settings. This is not a light that goes on dawn to dusk type. Settings vary from 1-15 minutes.I hope this helps you. I love this light.
