If I were plug this lamp into a timer - does it remain in the ON position? If you pull out plug while it's on, will it be on when you plug back in?

Just tried unplugging and plugging into power. Light was on prior to plugging into power. Light did not come on after energized. Needed to be switched on

no it does not stay on while it's plugged in. the light only comes on when you're touching the end of the cord with your fingers.

No. There is no timer or light sensor on it. As long as it's plugged in, it will stay lit.

Yes, if you put it in the "ON" position it will stay on all the time. I leave it in the "ON" position and have it hooked up to a timer plugged into the wall.

No, we purchased an outlet timer and left the unit turned on. When the timer hits the active hour the light comes on and shuts off when we set the timer to off.

I keep mine in the outlet charging all the time, so if there is a power outage, it will go on automatically for you, and no fumbling for a light.

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.

If I remember right, I think there was a plastic pull tab that went in between the batteries and the unit itself. It sounds like the lamp is in the "On" position, but it goes out because the tab is separating the contact between the batteries and the unit. Check that and see if it works, or make sure the batteries are seated in the lamp properly.

Since the timer activates with darkness I would say no. You could turn the switch to "on" and plug it into the lamp timer. Of course it won't show as brightly as it would from a dark room.

If you turn on the lamp and the control switch the lamp is on and can be turned off and on from the lamp itself. But once the control box is turned off the lamp remains off.

I have never seen the light shut off. I have to assume it stays on as long as it is plugged in.

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.

I believe it would be off. I use one of these with my porch light. The wall switch is always in the on position. The light bulb is controlled via the Socket Rocket, which is turned on/off via a PalmPad Remote Control or a Mini Timer. To simulate a power outage, I turned the light on via remote control, then turned the wall switch off and back on. The light did not come back on after I turned the wall switch on. I had to use my remote control to turn the light back on.

I plug the lamp into a timer & then plug the timer into the wall. Works fine.

Think of it as a light bulb...once it gets triggered, ('switched on'), it stays on until you, or your triggering system, shuts it off or resets. It doesn't have it's own timer....same as a light bulb.

Um..... It should never be on unless charging. You did not charge it when you first got it did you? It comes charged. From then on it only takes a two hour charge. If overcharged and battery ruined the light will stay on.

I just went and unplugged mine and plugged it right back in and it worked fine. Nice little lamp.
