can the motion sensor be turned OFF and still have the Dusk to Dawn Function?

Yes. By turning the light switch on/off and on again in three seconds. Although it doesn't seem to work all that great for me.

If you mean, does it come on at dusk and go off a dawn, no. This is a motion sensor light that only works in the dark. Also note, I have other motion lights (120v and much brighter) on my garage. When they are on, this light won't come on because it too light around my front door.

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.

Yes, it has a photo day/night sensor, but you can disable it if you'd like. These lights do stay off during the day.

Yes, you can turn it off... But if the luminosity sensor consider that it's too dark the flash is going to shoot anyway.

No, you can't override any of the activities except to turn on or shut the entire unit off using a pin switch. The switch disconnects the battery so the light doesn't come on during shipment or handling. It arrives in the "off" position and you must turn it on after installation or it won't work. If the light were to remain on, the battery would discharge in an hour or two and the unit would turn off. The brief "on" time is to preserve the battery life so it will function most of the night. It will emit a glow (low power) as soon as it gets dark so you can actually see in the immediate area. It will brighten for about 30 seconds when the motion sensor activates it. The glow is about like a 10 watt bulb and the bright is about like a 60 watt bulb. Hope this helps.

Yes, the motion sensor can be deactivated. You must use the remote device to make the selection from the menu. The menus can be a bit tricky, so do it slowly and carefully.

Yes the day light sensor is disabled by default, just motion sensor is enabled. The daylight is an additional setting you can enabled if desired.

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".

Yes. It comes with a remote, which I never use. I never use the Motion sensor either. I have mine set to come on @ 6 am and turn off @ 10 pm.

I have mine attached underneath a kitchen cabinet and use the on/off switch to activate (it has two lighting modes - high and low). But I do NOT know if it has a motion sensor function.

No, but you can reduce the sensitivity of the motion sensor AND decrease the amount of time it stays bright when triggered. So, the way I have it set, the light comes on at dusk at a low intensity and will stay on continuously until dawn. If you walk directly in front of it, closer than about 5 feet or so, it goes to full brightness, then if the motion is not triggered again, it goes back to the low brightness in about 1 minute or less. When set in this mode, at no time does it completely turn off, unless the batteries are really run down. When you first receive it, the batteries could be really low (mine was) and I thought at first it was defective, until I reread the instructions, and understood how it's programmed to function. The motion sensor has priority, meaning that when the battery gets really low, the light will discontinue the low intensity dusk to dawn mode, and save what power is left to turn on bright when motion triggered..... So be sure to let it charge at least one day in the sun before you turn it to any setting other than off. (Still charges battery when turned to off). Since I have had it it has always remained on until dawn, even with some really cloudy and raining days decreasing its ability to charge. Now if it's motion sensor gets triggered too often, I can see the battery maybe getting rundown..... It this happens you can use another trick I have used before....simply take black electrical tape and tape up a portion of the motion sensor. Covered by black tape it will NOT sense motion.

You can set them to go dim dusk to dawn and bright when motion detected.Mine work well,good luck.

Any movement will set it off, including changing light conditions. If your sensor is exposed to the direct rays of the sun, it will likely go off because of the stray infrared rays. You might want to move your sensor to where it is not exposed to the direct rays of the sun, and read this: http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5748164_infrared-alarm-sensor-work_.html

yes, you could turn off the motion detection. There is no need to active it all the time as it will automatically take photoes when vistors press the button.

No, it doesn't have a dish to dawn sensor. I plugged my light into an outdoor sensor. It works fine.

There is an option from Dusk To Dawn, in fact the front and back of the box mentions it. If you want the Dusk to Dawn option you must enter 'Manual Mode'. Manual Mode only works 'AT NIGHT' because daylight returns the sensor to AUTO. Flip the light switch off for one second then back on to toggle between AUTO and MANUAL MODE. Auto Mode - On time 1- 5 - 10 Minutes (Motion sensor) Manual Mode - On time (To Dawn) *Resets to Auto Mode at Dawn* Note: When first turned on wait about 1 1/2 minutes for the circuitry to calibrate.
