Is the light sensor on the solar panel so I can put the light indoors in the window to look like someone is home where we have no electricity?

Yes, the light sensor is on the solar panel, you have lots of wire between actual light and panel

NO. Not if the power to the unit is shut-off, as with an indoor light switch.

Yes, the motion is detected through the camera. The only thing is you may get some reflection from the IR night vision LEDs. The motion sensing is sensitive to light changes so when near a windows it will detect motion if the the sun switches brightness because of clouds. I get lots of snapshots of just light changes, which it ok for my purposes but would not be ok if you where to want an alarm to sound on motion detection. These cameras are sensitive to light since they are made for indoors and it can get too bright for the camera if there is direct sunlight hitting the camera.

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.

The solar panel is. Too bad the lamp doesn't have a handle. I'm always using the lamp as a direct-beam lantern around the property at night, and on dark area plumbing tasks. Just don't get the lamp interior wet.

Just allow direct sunlight to fall on the solar panel. You are over thinking the situation.

NO, I am sorry but this is only a sensor light to activate a light bulb for dusk to dawn. Hope this helps.

Hi Mildred.The light is electric. The motion sensor works rather well and provides enough light for my front entry.

The sensor does not work. We use it in place of the candle for when the electricity goes out. Rather than the original purpose

I could only inform you that the only power used would be miniscule to keep the sensor working. The lights are LED which use very little power when on. This is the only answer I could come up with other then 'I don't know'.

No. There is a light sensor that controls the on/off of the light. That being said the sensor could be covered with something like black tape to trick the light to come on. A.

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.

If I charged it inside the house, the light will dim a little after it started. Charge the WakaWakain direct sunlight whenever possible. This is a wonderful solar lamp, I can't live without it.

The listing says it has a light sensor, but they apparently do not. Our light up with motion in the day or the night.

Yes, you can control the Iight from an indoor switch, and the fixture has a sensor that yurns the light off when it is in the daylight. It does not need the sun to work, though.

No! My wife and I live in a small 1600 square foot home. We use all LED and CFL lightning and have just bought all energy efficient appliances. We have 2100 watts of solar (We can upgrade to 3100 watts on our system) and can supply 70 percent of our energy needs daily. We have 8 145 watt panels and 4 245 watt panels along with 5 kilowatts of pure sign inverters and 20 kilowatts of batteries. Hope this helps to answer your question.

I have the light part of the unit indoors during the day with the solar panel outside (wire run under door to front deck. I then use the power for light or cell phone charge at night. I have not tried charging the solar panel itself inside, if that is what you are asking.
