Does the log turn on instantly or is there a slight delay from the time you turn the switch on until the time the light actually comes on?

I tried to use it with a Light-o-rama controller synchronized to Christmas music - way too much delay for that.

There is no delay I can tell. I have two of them and two of the 10 watt ones and they're great..

I have about 15 in operation and they take from 1/2 to 2 seconds to come on. None are instant on.

I have 4 of them on one circuit and one actually starts slower than the others, but only slightly. I would think up to 1 second delay would still be in the scope of normal operation.

You have to turn the lamp on, but it won't be "on" until the timer completes the circuit (i.e. until it hits the on period that you want)

Yes, it has a time delay. It will not instantly power off or on with just a quick flash of lite. Seems like it was about about ten seconds or more from a bight lite.

If I remember correctly, there is a manual override capability. I believe, if you have a standard on/off switch, you cycle the switch from "on" to "off" back to "on" quickly it will turn on the light. If you cycle it again it will go back to automatic.

Yes, you just have to hold the on button for 2 seconds. If you hold it again, the light comes back on and the must goes intermittent. The instructions tell you how to do it.

No, it doesn't turns on instantly. It takes 1_2 seconds to do it. Now, you can wire a switch or a remote transceiver somewhere between the strip and the power supply stay on.

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.

Yes, flip the light on and both the lamp and the Bluetooth fires up, the light is delayed for about 3 seconds. Other than that, its the perfect speaker / light I have ever used.

The light should light up and spin instantly when plugged into a standard 120V outlet. There is no switch or delay with the light.

The indicator light seems to have a slight delay when all connected. It does not light when put into the power outlet alone. Be sure it is securely plugged into the cord that goes to the battery. Make sure that the cord is well connected to the battery as that connection is sometimes "stiff", but positive when it makes the connection. If, after all of this, the indicator light does not go on then suspect the charger or the battery. I would bet on the battery as there is not much to wear out on the charger. I had to buy them in this order when we were given our powerwheel. It has worked well for several months since then. The indicator light seems to have a slight delay when all connected.

My switch is 100% silent. I even went back after you asked this questions and tested it to make sure I was just not noticing it. I don't hear a click or any noise at all in a whisper quiet room when the switch goes on and automatically back off 5 minutes later (that time is adjustable).

A definite maybe...sometimes if you engage the on switch before plugging it in it comes on when you plug in without tripping; other times no. Can be a temperamental thing.....

it does not turn on instantly, but turn on right away, there is a hesitate about half or one second.

Hi Toby, no, the switch is either on or off. If you slowly press the button, it latches before the LED comes on.

There is a slight, about 1/4 sec., delay, but, yes it is a momentary switch. I have no trouble managing the delay. I am using it with a winch motor.

Is there a delay so that the alarm doesn't sound right away. Scenario: I'm leaving the house and want to turn on alarm; when I turn on the switch, does i make noise right away?

I have had no problems with the light turning itself on. I bought 2 of them and it's great to be able to just tap the top to turn on the light. Maybe yours has a shortage in the wiring. If it's still within the return period, you might try to have it replaced with a new one.
