Can light sensor be adjusted to come on earlier? I would like the lights working at dusk not just total dark.

Sometimes if you cover the top with your hand( the solar part ) it some times gets it started earlier

My lights don't show until it is dark.. and then it's great.. I don't see how they could be adjusted.. the glow on the lights aren't THAT bright, where you wouldsee them for sure at dusk... there is a nice glow though.. Mine have been hanging up for a month and a 1/2 now.. and I still love them.. been rained on.. been blown all over by the wind... watered on.. still holding shape and brightness.. love them.

It shouldnt be a problem. If you can tell night from day where the sensor is mounted, it should work fine. Just make sure the sensor is pointed in the direction of the open daylight area.

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.

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.

My husband installed it and I remember him complaining about the sensor being only controlled by sunlight (dawn to dusk). So we ended up putting a programmable timer in the series and plugged that into the outlet. Involves some wiring but simple enough.

Yes, you can turn them on an off from an indoor switch if the switch operates that sources. The power switch should be in the on position all the time or else the dusk sensor will not be able to turn the light on. If you want the switch to be in the off position the light will not turn on. The fixture does not need sun to work as it is not solar, but it does need some low level light or the light sensor will continuously turn it on. Really is a great light.

If you cover the light sensor with duct or electrical tape then yes you could turn it on or off with a switch.

Yes, it can be. I have 3 of these and have covered the sensor (the small little hole, not the white translucent plastic bulge), and that way the sensor turns the light on if there is motion day or night. I see someone else said no, but I don't think they did it right, because it works on all 3 of mine. PS - I used black electrical tape so that the sensor would be well blacked out.

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

I would imagine you will hit the limitations of the battery no matter how much sun it received the day before. I remember seeing my light work as late as 4 AM. You may need to go with a wired solution for anything better.

After setting mine up I noticed only two small holes, to turn on the system. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any way of "adjust / modify" the light. Instructions said nothing about this adjustment either. Hopes this helps.

Any light should be able to be used wth a sensor switch. It's an instant on bulb so there is very little time when it's not fully bright.

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".

The sensor should cause the light to go on at dark and off in the am. I can only guess that there is a problem with the sensor.

The light sensors are no good. Open it up and bypass the light sensor by re-wiring it (not that hard) and it will work but the light will only operate from the light switch and not day or night sensor.

Yes there is a sensor but it may not turn off on dark/cloudy days. Not an issue with this LED light. Electricity use is minimal.

Yes. You can slide the switch to ON and it will act like a regular light switch. Or you can slide it to AUTOMATIC (you adjust the timer to your liking) and it will act like a sensor. I have had my sensors (6) for over 3 years and love them. They were cheaper on Amazon than Lowes or Home Depot.
