Can this be turned on without being inflated? If so: how much less light is given off compared to when it is blown up?

It can be turned on at any time, but a lot less light is given off if not inflated. One could only partially inflate it if you wanted it to be smaller. These are great of outdoor use or emergency lighting.

Without being inflated it gives off a similar amount as my I Phone light (iTorch4). I think that it is essentially the same amount of light when it is inflated. The difference being that it is defused/dispersed over a greater area so that it can light an entire room. Hope that this helps.

Hi Lauren - I honestly never tried it without having it blown up. With it being inflated though - it does illuminate very well and I'm thinking that it would be much more effective in the inflated state. Hope that helps! A really cool product - we use ours when we backpack.

The LuminAID Solar Light can be turned on at any time whether inflated or not. The inflation serves to disperse light glare-free as a lantern and does not affect the amount of light given off. If there are any other questions/concerns, please reach us at orders@luminaid.com and we would be happy to help!

There is a little button to turn on the light. I would advise against buying this though, as the lights make the rockets too heavy. Just get the regular ones - they are much better!

Not that I noticed. I blew up over 475 balloons in about 7 hours, off and on, but most of it at one time. Didn't seem to overheat after about 2 hours of total usage (without breaks).

You can turn the light off with a switch located on the base. The fan has a button to turn it off and on and the fan and light work independent from each other. I've got two I use for both of our laptops and they are a valuable accessory. The light is bright enough for me to do work at night without all the lights on in my house. It's worth every penny it costs. I velcro mine to my desktop to avoid knocking it over but that's not a necessity. I'm just clumsy and don't want to break it.

I do not think this can be turned on accidentally. In my opinion, it would be very hard to do. The on button is in the top of the light and it has to be pushed with certain pressure that you would have to make an effort.

Ours are up fairly high, so this hasn't happened. I don't know what would happen f the light was on the ground.

I bought a 300wt either and use it since. No problem. As I remember, I did not turn it on full force right away: started with a little by little. I was afraid that it would blow as the whole thing was not designed for that high voltage. But nothing happened so far. I love the lamp. It is really very bright.

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.

Firstly, it is not a video soft box, so it is not vented for cooling and would likely shrink wrap itself to your light and or melt. Secondly, for this price you should know automatically that it has no lamp. And third, it's in the description, read.Now as for "what should purchase to go with" , buy a video light kit, or set up regular flood lights bounced off white reflectors or adjacent walls or ceilings.

There is a little button to push near the top of the rocket (on the yellow part). I can't imagine anyone could use it enough to exhaust the light! Note that all instructions are printed on the box.

There is no light involved. To see it at night you would either have to turn the room lights on or use a flashlight, so it definitely will not keep you awake.

you can blow it up yourself, its just time consuming... there are about 3 valves; One for the bottom where they sit, One for the surrounding ring and head, and one for the shade. It takes a couple of minutes to inflate.

Not that I am aware of. The light would overheat without the . Like Rob, I am very disappointed with the increasingly louder fan noise and would never buy another one.

I don't have the equipment to test for that but if there is any electricity used when the bulb is off it would be mininmal. The bulb uses very little electricity when it is on.

I have been leaving mine plugged in, but perhaps I should have read the instructions. My guess is that the battery life would be improved if you unplugged it, but so far mine has not blown up.

Yes, it can be used without being inflated. I'm very satisfied with this product, and my physical therapist also likes it.

I prefer my bed firm, so I leave it on all the time. It can be inflated to the comfort you desire, and the pump left off, but you will have to periodically turn it back on to inflate back to your comfort level.
