How does the light turn on? Can't see anything about motion sensor or switch ... on/off/dim? What?

There's a black button to turn on light. The light is fairly bright. The bracket allows for a slight swivel adjustment. The light also turns off automatically after thirty minutes. Not a bad light. You should note I returned my lights because I found them for about half the price at Lowe's.

There is an on-off switch on the side. It will also turn itself off automatically after a few minutes.

There's a somewhat longish black bar on the flashlight part you press in. Hope this helps. Good luck.

There is an on/off button. It is the black bar above the LED light in the photograph. As an update to my original review, for installation in my kitchen I used the adhesive alone and have had some of the lights fall down. I would recommend using the provided screws for use in areas that are near stove, sink, moisture, etc. Hope this helps.

It has a push button in the center of the fixture. After you turn it on it will go off after several minutes. No motion detectors.

Leave light turned off with the switch for 5 minutes. Turn back on and set to Automatic as normal. Blue light will come on and flash about every 30 seconds or so. When it gets dark, the Blue light will turn to Green, light should then turn on for about 45seconds or so, then go out if nothing is telling it to stay on. Any sort of movement will turn it on or keep it on.I had a similar problem with mine today. They would not turn off. Found out that some birthday balloons in front yard were moving just enough to keep the motion sensor tripped to on.Good LuckGary

There is NO MOTION SENSOR ON THIS FIXTURE. It is strictly a dusk to dawn unit. You could wire in a separate motion sensor to control the light. If the fixture "sees" daylight it will turn off. I don't know of a reason to have the light on unless it was "dark".

try covering up the day/night sensor with your finger and see if it still flickers? if not, then you might be getting reflections so it sees that it is dark, turns on, illuminates its own sensor, and thinks it is daytime again. I had a problem like that with a motion sensor light. might double check your power source if it's not that. mine has been running solid every night for months using a POE adapter.I've had mine

I didn't hook mine to a motion sensor because it only last about 10hrs of run time. But using an motion sensor with a controlled outlet should work. This light came with a plug already installed.

Check the manual for the motion detector. There were old ones where the electronic switches in the motion detector got, well, confused if they were feeding something other than an electrically simple incandescent.

Just turns on with the motion sensor and turns off based on a setting you make on the rear of the unit.It also has a dawn to dusk setting. I have not tried that setting since I wanted the motion activation.

If it is connected properly I believe it comes on when you first turn power on. If it does not come on then, put your thumb or a piece of opaque tape (like electrical tape) over the sensor to simulate darkness and it should turn on what ever it is connected to w/in a few minutes.

Hi patrick,I never purchased a motion sensor, just the switch, so I can't really comment on it's functions.

there is a switch for the sensor. you can turn the light (sensor) off completely, however, you cannot turn the light on as a constant. but honestly, i think you'd love the sensor... i love looking into the mirror every time i walk by... and i'm not a vane person - i just love the mirror.

on the underside of the light is a small pin hole. put the wire key into the hole and push - that turns it on. :o)

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.

via motion and it has to be dark. If you move but it's bright, then it wouldn't turn on.

It's touch control. Touch it to turn on, increase the light strength and to turn it off. There is no switch.

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)

Thanks for all the replies. I've gotten used to it so it's not a deal breaker for me. I guess I did not pay close attention to the description and I assumed it had a light sensor as well as the motion sensor.

This illuminator switch on at daylight, switch off at night, it's have not the motion detect function, can only sense light
