Do these turn on by themselves? I would like to put them at the cemetary but need them to turn on when it gets dark by themsleves

Yes, these do turn on when dark approaches. And turn off after about 6 hrs. They are so comforting.

I think there is a switch. But once you turn it on they come on like clockwork every night when it gets dark.

Yes, they can be set to turn on automatically when it gets dark, or manual off and on. What makes them really cool is the rubber flowery rubber gromet that fits over the individual 'light bulbs'. It helps illuminate the light nicely. I bought two of them & used them for big camp site I set up. The wiring is delicate, so you have to be gentle.

These solar lights are easy to be dealt with. You just need find a place where there is much sunshine to charge the solar panel. And then turn the switch on. The solar panel will charge itself automatically in the day and then the light strip will light up automatically at dark. Remember to turn the switch on. Otherwise, it will not.

No trick. Room just needs to be dark enough for them to turn on. It works off a light sensor. They don't just turn on when you plug them in. If the room is dark but they won't turn on then they're defective and you should return them.

They do come on during the day ,stay on for about 15-30 seconds. We have had ours up for about 2 weeks so far. They work well for us.

They will turn them on and off, but dimming is not really an option. You do have to read the instructions and set the "local on level" to full on/full off, otherwise they will flicker.

As a matter of fact, they do but have no instructions included. there are four colors with batteries included. there is a slide switch to turn then on and off. I wore them to church Christmas Midnight mass and turned them on after services. Everyone went wild! These would be good for Halloween or football games!

No, they do not turn on. That would cause an unnecessary draw on the battery and take away from the motor. Also having constant running lights would diminish the batteries life.

Yes, they only go on when the light is quite dim. It doesn't have to be totally dark. I was skeptical at first, these are surprisingly useful. I just ordered a second set for a different location in our house.

They should be powered through a keyed source. If so, when the vehicle is shut off they shut off. If the switch is on when you restart the vehicle they will come back on. I put them in my daughter's truck and, so far, she is very happy with them.

I believe you're right. I connected them to battery with a seperate switch so that I can turn it on/off whenever I want. Otherwise, it's controlled by the headlight.

Make sure you check the on/off button to turn them on. Ours worked fine. I had to figure out there is an on/off. It was not that obvious.

No, they don't turn off during the day. But you don't notice them when it's light out, and they use very little power.

I have mine on a separate switch. Now iIf you run them with your fog lights on the street, count on getting pulled over by the authorities. I have mine set up separately from my fog lights. One day I turned them on by mistake & the first County Sheriff that spotted me immediately made a U-Turn & gave me a warning for excessive lighting.I only use them on the back roads when I come home late at night & immediately turn them if there is oncoming traffic. Can't use them as often as I'd like, but I love them

Leave them plugged in for an hour or so and recheck them. I believe I had a similar issue with these initially. I'm anxious to hear if this works for you. I've been really pleased with the lights I am using in our house. Helps so much at night.

No, but can you get them to light? I can't get them to light up. Making me crazy.

Yes just turn them on the day before at the time you want them to come on. I have had mine on every night for 30 days. They are not as bright as real flame but a nice mood light

I bought them and turned them to the on position when I put them outside on a tree. I never turned them to the off position. They would usually come on at night, but only for an hour or so. I did not love the product. I am not sure if I had turned it to off during the day if it would have helped or not.

I am having trouble with mine also. I have to go out and give them a tap on the top sometimes to make them come on, and sometimes the tap does not help and they just won't come on. Moonrays is a big manufacturer of these lights, so perhaps if you can go onto the Moonrays website, you can get some help. Good luck!
