I usually set the timer on mine for one hour at night. In the morning though the power light is still on. Is this usual or should the light be off ?

It is normal for the power light to be on. The sound stops but the power stays on until the volume button is turned off. But who wants to do that when you're sleeping?!

Hi Maggie The light does stay on, but as far as I can tell it does not use much battery. hope this helps. Sue

I looked up the manual and if you set to 0, it is ON all the time. If it is set to A, on at dusk and off at dawn. If it is set to any number, it will stay on for that many hours after dusk. You scroll through these settings using the up/down arrows.

If you put it on a switch then you are controlling the normal operation. So, if you want it off while at night then flip the switch. However, if you switch it on during the daylight you will have no light on.

I leave mine set to the on position always. There's a motion sensor so the light stays on & will automatically go off after about 30 seconds after closing my door. Otherwise, depending on what you're using it for you could mount on wall or door & keep in off position & then manually turn on when you need it.

Your timer may not be shutting off all power to the device. I would use a test light and check for current.

Yes the light is on a timer, I'm not sure how long but it seems like about 10-15 minutes. But it will turn off by itself.

I keep mine in the "AUTO" position. When in the holder during daylight hours it remains off, in the dark the "Night Lite" stays on unless there is a light on in the room. At any time, day or night if I grab it out of the holder the light is a constant "ON". When in hand I will turn the control to on or off depending on what I need. When it goes back in the holder I put it back to "AUTO". This question got me wondering so I went around the house and checked them all, they are all working properly. I don't see a way to replace the battery, I'll look into that.

No, you must turn it off once the done light goes out. About 15 minutes. It hasn't been a problem as I'm usually in the kitchen doing other things.

Thanks for asking me..I keep it plugged in all year round and it only turns on when you push the button. It will stay on I believe for like 8-10 (I think 10) hours until you push the button in again that turns the light (on the button) off. I LOVE LOVE this item...I know you will too.

Do you other users turn on the light first thing in the morning, or at some other time during they day?

Yes, I set it to go on and off when I go to work. I set it from 10:00 to 12:00 and then again from 2:00 to 4:00. (They only come with two sets of pins but you can always order more.) When I get home I switch it to On and set it back to Auto when I leave in the morning. I saved a 1/3 on my electric bill not leaving it running all day.

Maybe. One of the nicest features of this timer is that it comes preprogrammed out of the box to go on at sunset and off at 11pm(?). I found that cycle perfect so didn't need to program. Assume if the power goes out the default setting will always be there but not sure if you were to change the default. My guess would be yes based on experience with other similar ones but not sure.

I agree. I see no evidence of this feature in the instructions. But there may be a capacitor in it that holds the settings even though it may be necessary to reset the current time when the power comes back on. Perhaps that is what they mean?

There is a sliding switch on the side labeled: 1 minute, 2m, 5m and ON. Selecting 1,2,5 minutes will set timer/light on for those time durations. Selecting ON - it stays ON. When you then turn it back to off, it goes off after about 1 minute.

Are there lights hooked up and do they work when you turn the timer to the on position? If the lights don't turn on and the timer doesn't turn it's probably busted. May have taken a power surge from a nearby lightning strike.

Our power went out for an hour last week. The timer did not have to be reset after the power came back on. Also, I found it easier to program the timer if I plug it into an extension cord to program it, and you can disconnect it to plug it in directly to the power receptacle on the wall without losing the programming (if it is fully charged).

Not sure why that is happening. Mine come on at the appointed time, and off at the set time. I can just press the cover momentarily and it comes on and stays on. Not sure how much wattage you are trying to illuminate, but that could be a possibility. If you have LED bulbs, I have had problems with them not working with certain switches.
