If the power outage occurs at day time or at night but no body is at home does the light still automatically turn on? Thanx!

It's supposed to, but I haven't had the occasion to determine if this is true.

No, it does not automatically turn on. You have to push the switch forward.

YES the light will come on, The directions are a little misleading = it states that you are supposed to charge and place the switch to off which means not charging. But if you do what is stated it is just sitting there waiting for a person to turn it on when needed. So just keep the switch in the charge position with the cord plugged into the wall outlet and the light also. When power is lost &gt; the light will come on automatically, then you remove the cord from the light and then move it to where you need light or just let it stay where it is if that is where you need light. Have put one screw into the wall and have the light hung on that one screw, when the power goes out it automatically lights the area where the circuit breaker box is in the basement. Which is the first place to go to start hooking up the outside generator. The nifty handle on top makes it easy to carry and the flat bottom and sides makes it easy to set it down anywhere flat to let both your hands be free to do what you need or want to do.

Usually this light has a dedicated feed which keeps the battery fully charged. If you wire it or feed it through a switch, it would wise to make sure that nobody turns the switch off. Remember that this light is designed to work when there is a power failure and will usually work only for four to six hours after a power loss.

This is automatic. There are settings on the switch: you can leave it on and use it like a flashlight or you can leave it off or you can set it to automatic. In automatic mode, when power to the unit is cut or turned off, the unit will turn on (like during a power outage or if you pull it out of the wall socket).

No, Once it's plugged in, it becomes an emergency light. If the power goes out, it will come on immediately. This is what I bought it for. If I'm asleep, and the power goes out, the light will wake me up. When in the emergency mode (plugged in) It will come on when you un-plug it. Then you can use it full power (as it will be when un-plugged) or 1/2 power, or shut it off with the switch. Un-plugged, it become a flash light with two brightness levels. VERY bright, VERY solid light, works GREAT, recomend and would deffinately buy again.

It has options to turn off and on.. I have my light come on at dust and shut off at midnight .. I also believe it has more than on option for times. you would need to plug into the device itself

The red light comes on when the unit's battery is charging. During a power outage the main LEDs will be on (ifit's dark), then when power returns they will go out but the red light will be lit while it's charging. It will turn out when the battery is fully charged. If it's on all the time there is a problem.

It will turn on when sensing both low light and motion. It will not turn on under day light. It will not stay on if there is no motion detected.

It should turn on automatically in the dark. I'm not aware of any switch that affects this so suspect it is defective.

Hello. Once power is turned off, this unit will have to manually turned on by the "ON" button located on the front panel.

mine does not. It needs to be cycled back on... However, the unit can be sensitive to power surges and things like hair dryers turning on and off. Occasionally, you will just see the light turn on by itself. Not much of a problem, unless it goes on while you are away. I understand this is an issue with all switches that work on a conduction system. (like those lamps where you just touch the base and they turn on)

No, not on the light itself. This only has the sensor that turns it on at dusk and off at first light. You could install a switch in the circut, but it would not turn on during daylite hours, only at night.

No it doesn't work that way. The lamp does not remember its on/off state. Once disconnected from power, you have to switch it on after connection.

It will come on automatically when it gets dark if left on. It's not very big I didn't have measurements when I bought it. It's great for camping but too small to put outside your house as a wall light.

The light will not come on automatically. It will come on whenever you have a webcam application open. If the light is on and you do not have an application open, that would be an issue.

We have a few outages in our area. I have had no problems. There is no programming to do. My switch it is installed in a basement location. If the light is on when power is interrupted, I don't know if it comes back on when power is restored. If not it is a simple matter of flipping the switch.

As far as I know, no it doesn't. Simple on/off switch turns on light. I suppose you could keep it "on" all the time and let it run out of juice, which would be replenished the next day when the sun is out?

If I understand your question right...this light does turn on automatically with motion if its dark where you place it and goes off in about 20 seconds...if you set it on auto.. Its a motion light...or you can set to on to stay on.
