I'm a widow and don't know which circuit to flip down for this light. Does the electricity have to be turned off, in order to use this gadget?

Yes, for safety sake, electricity should be turned off as this item fits inside of the base that remains stuck in the socket that houses the light bulb. Plug a radio into the same room in which the light bulb is out and turn the radio on. Turn the sound up so it's rally loud. Listen for the music to stop as you flip switches in the circuit box. If the music stops you have cut all electricity to that room. It should now be safe to remove the stuck/broken off light bulb base from the socket using this tool.

Although the directions say to turn the electricity off at the fuse box, we did not because all the labels have worn off at the fuse box. So I just kept the switch off in the bathroom and did not touch anything metal on the device; I also wore a pair of Playtex rubber gloves, not latex, but rubber; I probably did not even need to do that but I wanted no surprises.

Yes.Since you can't be sure of which switch controls that light, turn off the power at the fuse box for that circuit. Make certain that the power is off, then and only then proceed. If you have rubber gloves they will add a layer of protection when handling the tool.I am not an electrician so if you are not comfortable doing this, please do not attempt. That's the best advice I can give you. Please be safe!

From a safety point of view, you should turn off the circuit breaker as well as the light switch. You can always turn off all the circuit breakers and then turn them back on after using the gadget.

You need to ensure there is no electricity going to the circuit before using the removal tool - it could cause a short, spark and cause damage to the socket.

The instructions on the package say that you must turn off the power to the light.

No, it will turn on & off like a regular flash light ( that's how I have it set up). U must use the wire pressure pad for the light cycle to work. Thanks

This is correct. If you do not move but still present in the room, it will turn the light off. Works for me as a garage application. However, due to poor quality of electronics these sensors do not last long: have to replace them every year (at least). Actually, my understanding is that Leviton discontinued their production, but some retailers have a stock of them that they are trying to get rid of.

If you want to leave the other two lights on all the time this will work fine. Obviously if you turnthe switch off the unit will not work. If you turn the switch off and back on again later the motionsensor lamp will turn on and stay on for about 10 minutes then turn off and turn on when it sensesmotion

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.

The switch to turn it on/off is on the top of the lamp. You just need to rotate it clockwise to switch from on mode to off mode or from off mode to on mode.

You don't wire for the LED - its built into the switch. Attach ground (side terminal) and 12v (bottom terminal under the ground), and nothing to the load pin. The light should come on when you flip the switch to ON. Now switch OFF and connect the 12v load (last terminal, with little light icon) and you are done.

No, the light turns on by a toggle switch which is built into the cord that you plug into the wall. I have it plugged into a device on my outlet which lets me control it with a remote so I don't have to bend down to flip the toggle switch. These are very inexpensive and you can find them at most stores. Hope this helps!

Yeah it's ok to use it with the light on. Make sure the Metal Grid is completely dry first. Reassemble and plug it in and turn off. Next get like a pen and push the reset button at the top right and the timer button at the same time to reset the machine. Turn on and the light should be gone.

Hi Kim. There is an on off switch on the back of the light. I think you could plug it into a timer without a problem. Sounds like a great idea. Good luck!

i did not have no problems turn it off. My lamp does completely turn off. However, any electronic will always draw power. this means if you want to last you the longest you need to remove the batteries. Also is always recommend to remove batteries prior storing.

The light is designed to plug directly into an outlet. I needed it hanging so my father's hand could activate from his bed in the night. My solution was to plug it into an extension cord with a loop that could be hung from a wall hook so the light is exactly where it is needed. I turn it completely off during the day so I've not noticed if is light sensor activated. We are very happy with how the light functions.

It has an on/off switch, but it doesn't have any other functionality. Guessing that if you just leave the light on and control it from the electrical outlet with a timer of some sort then it could work. Hard to say. Great light though.

You just untwist the entire top of the light. The part that does the turning. Good luck! I hope it lasts longer for you than it did me :-)

Haven't hooked mine up yet, but why would you want to not use the LED? They use next to no power, and they're only lit when the circuit is energized, anyway. Get a switch with no light, there are plenty of those around.

Don't know but the on switch must be manually held down for the light to work.

Hi Jeremy, I have it hardwired to an existing light switch receptacle and you leave the switch in the on position. The light are then controlled by motion sensor and shut off automatically at your choice of a predetermended length of time of which I think there are 5 choices from 1 to 20 min. intervals.
