Can someone please verify if this light actually turns on and off when flipping a wall switch on and off? (I tried a similar light but it didn't work)

I just tried pulling the plug, then plugging it back in. Obviously it turned off when the power was cut, but it won't come back on until the power button on the light itself is pressed.

yes, there is an on/off switch. My electrician hard wired it to an outlet above my sink. I leave the switch on all the time at the unit and turn it off by the wall switch. However, I can leave the wall switch on if I want and then would use the switch on the unit. Love this light, looks great above my sink.

Sorry, the dimmer switch on the wall will not work. There is a transformer between the wall power and the dimmer switch on the light cord and that effectively means the wall switch will not work. These are great lights anyway and I really like mine.

I have had no problems with the light turning itself on. I bought 2 of them and it's great to be able to just tap the top to turn on the light. Maybe yours has a shortage in the wiring. If it's still within the return period, you might try to have it replaced with a new one.

Yes & No ... I just moved mine to a switch and it will turn the light off , if already on, but you must touch it to turn it back on. I would not recommend it if you are looking for a lamp that will switch on and off without having to hunt for it in the dark and touch it. It always has to be within an arm's reach.

Yes, however, both of my light fixtures operated by pull chain (i.e. pull the chain, the light is on) so when I screwed in the new motion activated light bulbs, I left them on the "on" position and they turned off within 3-4 minutes. I would assume that a flip switch would be the same way; leave it on and let the new light turn off by itself. I, personally, love the convenience.

We hard wired to a light switch on the wall. No on/off switch on light itself.

Yes, unfortunately it only stays on as long as you are continuously pressing the switch. However, I am overall satisfied with the light

Yes...it's a goofy light. Does what you said which is not by design. I had it outside for security but it didn't work as described. It's in my garage and for some reason works and then doesn't work. If I could grab the engineer by the throat and have him explain why this doesn't work...I'd be happy.

It has a turn switch and if left in off position the light does not appear even tho plugged in

Yes, the light should turn on by plugging it in. I know because I own it. Try plugging it in to a different outlet. If it doesn't turn on, the product is defective

Think of this as a big plug that you have plugged into your outlet - when you plug something in- is turns on. So, no, there is not on and off switch. It is always on, the same as any wall plug.

I have the older model but I recently bought this one for a friend. She loves it! She said she does flips the wall switch to turn hers on but u can use the foot switch. She said if you use the foot switch it clicks once and goes on and again to shut off.. Mine has the switch at the top where u can click three times dim,brighter,and brightest. I will ask her when she gets home from work if there is also a swtich at the top.

Yep, senses motion and turns off after a minute or so. I bought it to replace a light fixture in our hallway that had a pull chain on it, but no wall switch. This thing is great, I don't have to hunt in the dark for the chain anymore! And it looks nice too.

I hard wired mine to a regular on/off switch. Not sure how it would work with a wall dimmer since LEDs need their driver to be dimmable. There is a bit of lag time when turning them on. You still need to use their little ac to dc converter. Just snip off the plug and connect to your hard wires.

If you want the light on constantly, you would turn your wall switch off for 3 seconds then turn wall switch back on.The light should stay on until you turn the wall switch off.If you want it to be dark while you are out there, then you would just turn the wall switch to the off position.

James, It is motion activated, so it will only turn on when something moves in front of it. If you need more specific information, or the light is not turning on for some reason, feel free to shoot me an email under our seller account.
