Are the led's motion activated or on all the time? Give some details on this area please.

IR LEDs are not triggered upon motion detection on any camera. They are activated by a photosensor built-in to the camera that senses whether it is light or dark. When it is sensed that it is dark, the IR LEDs turn on to provide illumination to the camera. Motion activation has nothing to do with the IR LEDS. You should have a DVR that senses motion, and activates recording when it thinks there is motion.

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)

Depends where you install them. Think of them like a flashlight. If you turn on a flashlights for hours everyday it will need its batteries changed fairly often. One that you only use for a few minutes a week might only need new batteries every year or two. If you use these as under cabinet lights they would need more battery changes than areas where not much motion activates them. However, LEDs consume very little power. I have them in a safe that does not get opened very often... so I may only have to change them every five years or so... hope this helps.

No you can't just leave it on. There is no real on and off switch for that. BUT it does turn on once movement is detected. It is very sensitive. Right now, mine is set for movement up to about 50'. I don't know how long it will run with constant movement. Light is very bright. I was impressed for a solar LED light. It is excellent when used as a security light or when needing help to find your way in the dark. Only had it up for about a month so can't say much about how long it will last.

Yrs, there is a small button to activate the LED light when needed. It's located on the grip near the top. Hope that helps.

I haven't really used them recently. The two that I bought Have various problems. One of the units will no longer turnOn, and the other is basically erratic when I use the remote, it Basically does whatever.In the short time that they actually worked; the LED's usuallyDefaulted to the last color they were on when last used.

Hello, It's selectable with AUTO Mode from 5 to 160 seconds staying on once activated by motion sensor, and also can be extending illumination time of the movement is still activated.... Thanks,

Ours only come on when motion is detected and it is dark. They do not come on when it is daylight. This must be the default because we did not change any "setting".

With my main liftmaster drive unit- its motion based, so my light stays on till I stop moving around (30 seconds or so)

The LED light is supposed to work that way. It has a delay of about 30 seconds and remains on.

It doesn't turn on in a lit area. I would say it would have to be about the darkness of dusk or darker in order for the light to turn on when motion is detected.

I'm also having the same issue with 2 888LM's keeping the lights on constantly. They didn't seem to do it when first installed but nowall the time. I'm wondering if they get more sensitive during colder temperatures.I've turned the motion detection off for now unfortunately.

No, I don't recall writing that. If I did, I must have been suffering from the sun myself. The light does not come on during the day. It comes on about 30 minutes after sundown on a low setting. If motion is detected it comes on nice and bright for about 30 seconds and then goes back to the dim setting. It stays active the entire night.

There are two ways to turn on....one way makes it motion lighting, the second way is to keep it on until you turn it back off. Hope this helps you.

I had my light on 24/7 and the bulb lasted a year. I kept it on by "tricking" it with a remote control plug in (turning it off and on quickly). I could never remember to turn it off and on at a regular basis, so I just kept it on all the time. For some reason the remote overrode the motion detection, either that or the motion detection simply didn't work.

There are two very low power LED's, a green one that shows the camera is active and a red one that comes on when the motion sensor is triggered. I don't think these would be an issue in a security situation and there may be a way to turn them off in the menus. The bigger issue is that the UV flash does light up visibly when triggered. It's doesn't project any visible light on the subject, but there is a dim pinkish glow from the array itself. It is very noticeable to the human eye. I don't think animals notice it, but I have seen it when I trigger the camera myself. A person might not catch it unless they are looking right at the camera, but, if they are, they won't miss it.

There is a switch on the side to select 1. On all the time 2. Off all the time and 3. Comes on when motion is detected. In the motion detected mode, the light will stay on a minute or so with no new motion detected or stay on with continuous motion detected. A great feature is that it can tell when a room light is already on and doesn't come on at all. The unit is very sensitive and if pointed toward the doorway of a room will turn on every time someone passes. To fix that we simple angle the unit away from the doorway so that it only turns on when someone is actually in the room.
