Is there a way to keep the lights on while you're in the room or do they go out when no one is moving?

There are three (3) switch positions off-on-auto. So you can move the switch to on, and the light will stay on until it is turn off or the batteries are depleted.

They are purely motion activated. There is no switch to make them stay on (unless I have totally missed it). We bought them entirely so they would only light up briefly as we walked through the laundry room, so I haven't looked into options that would stay on.EDIT: I wrote that late at night, and realize that it was a little misleading. There isn't a way to make the lights come on when motion activated, and then stay on even if no one is moving. You can either use the auto (motion on / no motion they go off) or you can just the on / off switch like a regular light switch / lamp would have. They are purely motion activated.

The light bar has a 3 position switch. Off-On-Auto. You could put the switch in On which should leave the lights on until you turn them Off or switch to Auto. So yes that is quite possible. I don't recommend that because even though the LEDs have a low battery drain they will run the batteries down much quicker than using the Auto mode. Then you will have to replace the batteries or recharge them. Plus if you use the On mode you then have to manually change the mode when you leave the room for good. I am still using the original batteries so I don't know how long they will last. I started using 2 on 10/15 and 2 on 10/22 but I use the Auto mode which only has them on for a minute at a time. If I am going to be in a room longer than that I'll turn the overhead lights on before the light bars come on. Hope this helped. If you are planning on buying them be advised the 2 packs come with batteries while the 4 packs do not.

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.

Yes, I have found that the lights will go off but when it is connected into a active connection it will work as normal.

No, usually turn it off when I go to bed but there is a smaller light in the room so its not pitch black. Don't turn the light on until I get home from work at 5 or 6.

Hi, No, they have to be plugged in to light up and then unplugged to shut-down. I wish they did have a light sensor switch. On the other hand, it would be something else that could go wrong and prevent the system from lighting up if it malfunctioned.

you turn it off with the switch on the side. If you're coming in from outside it will go off but you can turn it off after you enter. We only use them when we're all leaving or when we go to bed.

The light shuts off by itself and comes on by itself when there is movement. There is a high and low intensity switch. Hope it helps.

No, only in the off position. Keep in mind that if lights are on, the brightness of the switch lighted probably wouldn't be noticeable anyway. There wouldn't be enough light level contrast to notice. Our bedroom is very dark when the lights are off, and it's nice too have this lighted switch to easily find the light switch panel in the dark.

No. I had to check and when the switch is up the light on the switch goes off. They only illuminate when they're in the down/off position.

No. You can not just have lights on alone. It is a great toy for the value. My son loves it. But you have to deal with sound fx.

They only stay on when the power is on to each individual port. When the port is turned off...the light goes out.

No but you can dim them down or put them on full blast. I have mine hooked up to a timer so that when I enter the house at night I am not entering in total blackness.

As long as power to the dimmer itself is not lost for a prolonged period of time, it stays where you set it and does not return to full brightness upon coming back into the room. There is also a "hard" on/off switch at the very bottom of the switch which can be pulled out so you can shut the light off and prevent it from coming on if you are changing a bulb or want it completely off for some reason.

I leave mine set to the on position always. There's a motion sensor so the light stays on & will automatically go off after about 30 seconds after closing my door. Otherwise, depending on what you're using it for you could mount on wall or door & keep in off position & then manually turn on when you need it.

Lol,it's best you turn the light off so they don't know it's coming. It won't tase if the light is on.

once you have wired the unit and put the unit on the ceiling (in my case), you do not need to turn on the lights. You adjust the unit to automatically turn off. bottom line: you walk in the room and the light goes on and after you leave the room it will automatically cut off. works well for me.

Hi. I think the light stays on as long as it is plugged in. I don't think it goes out when the device if fully charged, but I could be wrong. To be honest, I never paid attention. It is fairly bright, though. You wouldn't want to charge overnight in a bedroom. I usually plug mine in in the kitchen. Good luck!
