Does it have a reverse or blocking diode to prevent night time loss of electricity>

i am pretty sure your charge controller should fix that problem which you need anyway.

Don't know, as I used it with a MPPT controller, which does have blockbusterng diode.

It is the way you are thinking - in the bottom outlet it will cover the top outlet! It does have a socket outlet that works well. So you haven't lost anything.

It may overcharge your battery though not likely.It does have a bypass diode which is only useful when connecting multiple panel in series. The diode has nothing to do with overcharge protection.You should consider adding a diode in series with the + lead to prevent leakage at night. Again this will have no effect on overcharge.It may be easier to add a charge controller.

No all on the same one, but probably could wire in a separate timer if need be. I just put a couple strands on a switch - near my grill and trash cans back behind my face, so I can turn on and off at night only when I need it. Works great. This has been very easy to use (I had zero experience with any of this stuff), and has worked great so far!! Was very happy I did get the larger wattage as I keep adding lights as I go.

Yes it does - see review and photo by By Modern Thirst on Dec 10, 2013 I am purchasing this same safe from my son, not sure actually if he has this light installed or not, but he did install one. I have LED Concepts Wireless Motion Sensor Directional LED Night Light / Under-cabinet Light (Battery-operated) this in my other safe same features, different size a little more compact, I love it.

the reverse wire needs to be wired to your back up lights - when they are off (when care isn't in reverse) it will switch off the moniter

No. The reverse switch is on the side of the fan. If a light is installed, the globe must be removed to access the switch.

No, it does not. Furthermore, an external timer on the power source will only turn it on and off. The switch has three positions: on, off & night (blue).

You wire into the reverse light wire so when you put it in reverse it gets powered up

Yes it can be. Just put a switch in the normal way. Or you could rewire it inside and bypass the dusk to dawn feature.

There is no back-light. But if I remember correctly there is an option to keep the display on via the battery. You may or may not be able to read it with just a night light. I have three of these and I really like them; but I have it optioned for the display to go out when there is no light to power the solar panel. And of course I love having the correct time all the time. I've never had any problem with any of the three, but you have to be smarter than a box of rocks to get it set up -- its cheap enough to throw it out if you can't get it going correctly!!

Not that I know of. Anything plugged in has a battery back up. I am in an area of frequent power failures. More than one a month and it has not been a problem with the security system. You could call GE, I think it is GE/Jasco for the security system. Sorry I don't have the number with me. They are very helpful.

Yes, it has the same circuit as the other to keep it from reverse flowing and draining your battery. A solar charger without it would be useless.

The light has two wires you can connect to any 12v vehicle power supply. You can wire it independently with a switch or do what I did and splice it into the reverse lights. I wanted more lighting for backing up on my camper van.

No it does not block the second plug in the outlet. It's very compact and well made and I'm glad I purchased this to keep my refrigerator safe.

Actually I hooked mine up backwards and nothing happened. On the back of the box it says it has reverse protection, short circuit, reverse night current, overload, and overcharge/discharge protection.

No, Plus, there is no place for a battery backup in this switch. If you lose power, it is out just like a conventional light switch. When the power comes back on, the switch should reconnect to the wifi.
