I see it has a crank and an on/off switch. Can the On switch be left on all the time?

I am having trouble also. I don't know how to keep the lamp burning..it is set up to be a solar powered lamp but I cannot tell if the sitch can be left on. I still have my box and it does not say. Would love a telephone number to call to ask>

sorry i have not tried that. i can tell you that the light is so bright, it lights up our little cabin in the back yard (the kid's old playhouse, now for garden storage). since it recharges, i cannot imagine why one could not leave the light on, tho. great for it's size and price.

I think you turn the dial to turn it off. We prefer to leave it plugged in and at our preferred setting so we turn it on and off with a foot on a power strip we have it plugged into. But to answer your question, no, there isn't an on/off switch.

The switch is an "on-off" switch - you can switch it on and it stays on until you switch it off

Yes it has a on/off switch ! opposite side of battery cover ! no photo of it !

No, because it does not have a built in on-off switch... I wired mine to accessories wiring so it would turn off. Now when I turn the key off, the Boss turns off too. Also, understand before ordering that this Boss is an amplifier only and not a tuner!!! Works great sounds amazing with a device with pre recorded music like an MP 3, iPod, etc. Good luck.

Yes it has an on and off switch. The fact that doesn't have an automatic shut-off as my previous one did, hasn't bothered me. I've had good use out of it for about 3 yrs now.

Yes, it can be locked into "on" mode. The button you see just above the lever to make run, if you press it with the lever depressed it wiill stay on until you press the lever again.

It has a toggle switch. Manual, but not terrible. If it's plugged into something that you turn on and off, it'll run when that component is turned on.

No it has no switch for ON/OFF. Just plug in to turn on and unplug to turn off. Have have had one for 18 years before I got this one and never had a problem until I forgot to take it in and it froze.

We only charge by cranking. You need to crank a lot longer if it is on while doing it but yes it can be switched on.

No, it stays on until you turn it off. This is electric, not battery operated.

yes you do ,BUT for the price you can buy several, i have run mine thru at least 100 cycles and still going strong. i have another brand with similar switch and it has been going for about 4 years with use day &night;,it only on or off.

No. Turns on with the push button between the two lights and you have to push to cycle to the mode you want or turn it off. But that's not an issue for me.it's only three modes. This is a very bright light! No problem being seen day or night. I'm very happy with it. I've had it for several months and used it every night during the winter here in Florida for about two hours each night and haven't had to replace the battery yet.

An appropriate question because it does NOT have an on/off switch. It continues to perform well for me, although the blue light would be very annoying if it wasn't tucked inside one of my cabinet panels. It worth noting, however, that the unit does NOT run hot at all. If it wasn't for the blue light constantly being on, you wouldn't know the unit continues to pull power. Hope this helps.

No 'on/off' switch. However, it's a powered cathode that can easily be unplugged!

No. And for safety reasons, I wouldn't recommend doing either leaving it on constantly, or running it when not at home.

No, it is either on or off. But the light is really bright and looks good. We are very happy with it.
