The features say that the outlet stays off after a power outage. This is helpful.So the outlet goes off, even if in on mode, if the power goes off

I believe it does stay off, yes. I haven't experienced it with a power outage, but if I flip the switch that controls the outlet, it will not turn back on once I flip the power back on to the outlet.

The short answer is "yes". But there is a bit more to it.... You would need to leave the unit plugged in and in the off mode during non-use periods and turn it on during the outage. I live in the tropics and power outages are frequent, mine are both plugged in and in the auto-mode all the time. The batteries are long lasting and the light is bright and therefore it is easy to find the unit when the power does go out. I would recommend the units and buy more.

When switched off, no power gets to your appliance, so I cannot see how a power surge would effect the appliance. However, the Belkin switch may be *fried* after a power surge.

It will not work when the power goes out. But the on/off is a switch and it remains in the in position, so u won't have to go back in the room

Yes. There is a switch on the side labeled "ON" and "TIMER". You choose the position "ON" if you want the outlet to remain on.

yes power outage wipes all settings and you annoyingly have to reset it. I have mine light on, timer off so the off time gets messed up. Just reset mine today when I noticed it was staying on all night

If the relay is turned on and it loses power, it will turn off. When power is restored, it will remain off until it is turned back on with the remote.You hear a click from the relay unit when it is turned on or off. When it loses power, you will hear the click which is turning it off.I hope this helps you. :-)

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.

Did this event already occur to you? It has not to me. However, if the surge created from all of your power coming on at once did not short out your device, then it should power back on automatically. Personally, I usually unplug all important devices when the power goes off.

Once it is plugged in, the unit is off (meaning no LED will light up) unless turned on.When in that situation, LED will automatically power on during power failure.If it is not plugged to the wall outlet, it will not do any thing once it is power off.

Hi Daniel, mine turns the other outlets off several minutes after going to standbyWeather yours goes off depends on the change in on/STBY current draw.-The big screen TV also turns the other outlets off several minutes after STBY(RED Led light on TV front panel still on)

For me, I ain't have any power on/off issues on mine.You need to check if it has been misused unknowingly.Mine still remain ok.I have two of it, they are very ok

Hi Christa!Yes, with a power outage this would go out, because it is plugged into the wall. I, personally, keep it plugged in to a socket that has its own switch to turn it on off. I always keep it on, so if the power goes out (as it has in my house), when the power comes back on, as long as it is still plugged back in, it comes right back on by itself! Hope that answers your question! :)

There is one light with three settings - on, off, and night light. The "on" setting does not light as it is for when there is a power outage. At that time the light will go on. The off setting means everything is off so if there is a power outage the light will not come on. The night light is the only setting that works when the power is on. If you are using this for a power outage, leave it at the "on" setting.

I think others have answered your question but the bottom line is that this light will light up in a power failure or when unplugged from the wall.All you need to do is turn on the light and then plug into an electrical outlet. The light will turn off when plugged in. It will light up if power is lost at the electrical outlet (or you unplug it from the outlet).BTW, I have bought a variety of emergency lights (when this particular light was not in stock) and this is the best emergency light.If you are looking for a night light that doubles as an emergency light then this will not meet that requirement.

To have it automatically turn on in a power failure have it plugged in and have the button in either the "on" or "night light" position. If it's in the night light position it will remain on 24/7. If it's in the on position, it will be off when plugged in but on when unplugged or when plugged in if there's a power failure.

That has never happened to me, so I can't answer specifically. However, if I unplug it, it must be reset again, so I assume the same would be true of a power failure.
