will the light turn off & go back on to "motion" mode after I am not using the "stay on " mode any more?

I can tell my has worked this way. Also, if I ever have to replace the unit, I would go to the local store and just buy it. There are so many more options out there now then there use to be. Good luck.

Yes, it will. To quote the user manual: "Flip the light switch off for one second then back on, to toggle between AUTO and MANUAL MODE."

No, only after dark, and then only for a brief time. Owners manual says lights stay on for 20 seconds after motion stops, that seems to be about right. There are no adjustments for dark levels, on time, or sensitivity like there are on AC powered motion lights.

Hi Rod, this light is on automatic all the time. You can turn it on and off with the remote at will, but when you turn it on, it will stay on for only as long as you set it for when you first instaled it (see instructions). It doesn't just stay on AND it won't just stay off. Unless I missed something in the instructions. No pause mode. There is a switch on the light itself to turn it completely OFF--but I would need a ladder to do that.

You set up a time interval to turn off the lights after it last detected motion. I had mine set up so that when I entered the room between 6:00 pm and 10:00 pm, it would turn on the lights. After X number of minutes you define, the lights will go off. If you want them on again and are in the room, you just move so that the sensor picks you up.That being said, I strongly recommend against buying this product. It's great when it works, but for me, I was spending so much time configuring, resetting, and reconfiguring that the time/energy saved was pointless.

If you leave the light on in a particular mode for 3-6 seconds it will remember that mode when you turn it off. If you turn it off and on too quickly it will advance to the next mode every time it's turned on and off.

Yes. Whether turned off via remote or power interruption, my Lights begin with the mode used when they shut down

The light stays on all night. It's just very dim. Then when it senses motion it brightens. I don't know if its possible to turn it completely off.

In reply to an earlier post on Dec 2, 2012 1:55:04 PM PSTJitu says:If you place the switch at top in he "L" position then it will turn on only if ambient light level is low and motion is detected. In the "O" position it will turn on whenever motion is detected regardless of the ambient light level (24 hours)

Hello, Not sure I can help you. We have 2 of these lights each on a separate switch. I generally don't leave either one on because we have enough light in our park. If I quickly flip the switch twice the light goes manually. They do work as motion sensor lights if switched into the proper mode. We do like these lights and have LED bulbs in them. Take Care.

My experience with it is after turning off it will immediately turn on again if there is detected motion. In fact if there is constant motiondetected, it will not turn off until motion stops for the period of time set on the device, i.e. 2 mins, 10 mins , or whatever the setting is.

Yes! You will have the choice to turn your light on/off using your switch, as well as setting it for motion security.

It can be done but not that practical. My light is connected to a wall switch that I can turn on or off. The key is you have a built in timer that is activated with motion to turn light on when dusk approaches. The timer is turned off if you turn switch off then on again. I know the instruction tell you how long you need to wait if you want to back to motion use but this will put light on until you decide to turn it off again. They also make similar lights that are not motion activated. This may be your best approach.

Unfortunately no. Some motion lights have a constant on mode when a switch is wired in-line and a properly timed switch from off to on would activate it. Vise versa to put it back into motion. The manual made no mention of this option. However it might not be a bad idea to call the manufacturer to double check for any unmentioned features.

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.

Depends on how you have it configured. If you have it set to turn the lights on when motion is detected you can either turn it off by pressing the button (it will stay off for a period of time, but not as long as you might like if you intend to hang around) or, as JK in SD suggested, pull the tab at the bottom (which disables the device). I wouldn't treat the tab as a regular solution, and wouldn't buy this product for use in a room where you would regularly like the light to be off (unless manual on occupancy off is what you have in mind). Also, it has a light sensor, so it automatically turns on based on ambient light. Depends on how you have it configured.

Yes. You can turn the motion feature off and use the remote to turn the lights on and off. They will automatically turn off after either 1 or 4 hours.

No, it works by motion/temp change, so it will not turn off as long as there is someone in the area and moving. You can also control the motion sensor sensitivity, so it won't turn on while the room lights are turned on. When the unit is activated, it will shut of based on the predetermined timer setting. You won't be disappointed.
