With the light off, is the glass still bright or fairly dark? Do you know if it works with a rheostat?

I had a old fashion nite light in a bathroom with a daylight dome overhead and the lite still stayed on 24/7. I replace that unit with the Maxxima and now the lite goes out at best daylight.

Ours is in a dim hallway with no direct natural light, and it is off during the day. It only comes on at night when none of the bedroom lights are on and the hall is dark. It does exactly what we wanted it to do.

Sure did. All of the clicking drive me nuts. I thing I have mine set at 5% tolerance and it fixed it. Going to have to find your own mix that works for your environment. It will pick up even the slightest light from like oven clocks to neighbors lights outside. It sees it all. My buddy had to leave his ir off and just use an external ir light. Good luck.

I think they have redesigned this light- mine arrived today and I charged it up per instructions before first use and just tried it out. The light is trigger operated now instead of the dial control that is mentioned in earlier reviews. Pull the trigger once and it comes on at the brightest setting (really bright), pull it again and it goes to a lower brightness setting which would be good for up close work. The light stays on until you pull the trigger again, so yes, it will stay on until you turn it off.

It does work through glass, I put it inside a vase (dark glass) and it works well. You might have some issues with the light level, that may require you to manually shut down the LED lights because the glass may reflect those lights.

Yup it cycles through all 3 colors and then will turn off on the 4th click. I just have mine on red 24/7 to go with theme but I don't see it since I don't have window. The light is one of the best brightness, not to bright but not to dim. Hope this helps

There is some light, but its not as bright as other purifiers I have. Its a weak green light. I took it out of the bedroom, though, because the motor makes a frequency range noise I don't like while trying to sleep.

You should plug it in and turn off the lights from the lamps in the room and close the windows at day. It lights up in darkness only. If it's day and you have natural light across a window for example, it won't work because it lights only in the obscurity. The most obscurity, the most light. Beside that, it should work, if not maybe there is a problem. We haven't used it yet constantly, we only used it in Christmas day to see if it worked and how it works because it was a gift for our son, and he hasn't put it still in his bedroom. Hope this help you.

There are three levels of light; low, medium and high. Unfortunately, the dimmer is not on a rheostat where it is infinitely adjustable. The high isn't super bright but, for me, the low isn't all that low either. It depends upon how light sensitive an individual is. I happen to be very light sensitive, and most nights the low setting doesn't bother me. The digital clock face is an amber color which is supposed to keep your brain from becoming too wakeful, as opposed to blue light.

It will stay lit all night but the light is dim. It brightens nicely when motion is detected, then dims down shortly afterward.

My unit dims pretty well, It doesnt bother me at night, however, its not OEM dim. You can also turn off the screen if its that troubling

Nope! I just put a glass of water in it, turn it on & it steams up and watch the lights change. It is a gorgeous and useful item. However, be careful with shipping. I ordered it 4 times bc the first 3, one piece or several pieces of glass broke during shipping.

The "ON" time is adjustable. I'm moving light into a barn because rain got inside the motion-sensor housing with water condensation on the translucent surface. After that, the light only occasionally responded to motion.

It is very dark, no red, I have mine close to a sliding glass door so the sun is on it for little while each day, don't see any red.

There are basically three components 1) bulb 2) light sensor 3) transformer/ballast. Take a look at the bulb to see if it has any darkness on the glass --- light sensors are somewhat inexpensive and try changing it. The last piece is the transformer/ballast --- normally if the bulb does not light that is a possibility.

When ambient light is low the unit lights dimly and stays lit dimly giving low illumination. Once activated by motion it becomes much brighter. This would of course conserve stored energy. I did not see anything in the manual that mentioned the ability to set the unit to provide light all night long without motion (keep in mind I'm operating off my memory as I no longer have the manual). I'll post again on the unit after its been in use for > 1 month to let you know what reliability is. It has operated for > 1 week without problems.
