Can I turn off the dusk-to-dawn mode, so that the unit is totally 'dark' unless motion is detected?

Yes....light has 3 settings, off, dusk-to-dawn and motion sensor setting. I have mine set to motion sense so the light only turns on when I walk by it and I have it set to stay on for about 30 seconds after I walk away from it

Mine has been operating this way for over 6 mo. I don't remember how i pushed the right buttons but the instructions should tell you.

Yes, you can. just set the switch at AUTO mode, and the delay knob up to 5min.

I just figured out how to shut off the AUTO SET and the DST settings. Thanks for your help!

There is a setting - allows you to have "night" light and then motion activates. Works great.

That is when it is set on dusk to dawn mode. Should turn on when dark off when light

No, the only way to turn these lights off completely is at the light switch inside. The light will switch to 50% light after the adjusted amounted out time once it detects motion.

It is not a dusk to dawn light. It turns on when it senses motion. I installed mine in a dark hallway coming inform the garage. The light comeson and goes off in about 30 seconds or so. Works great.

No dusk to dawn but have motion sensor works really well. If you want it stay lit all night just turn it on twice it will stay on.

Yes- it has a light sensor that disables it from turning on the light during the day- except in test mode.

No I don't believe it will work that way. The light will be dim, and go brighter when motion is detected. I don't believe you can cover up the motion sensor without also covering up the Day/Night sensor as well, as it's all behind the same sensor "window".

It can not be turned off. The light is very dim, though. It only gets bright when the motion detector is set off.

In the settings menu there is a "Backlight shut off" option where you can adjust it to any where from 1 minute to "Never."

You can manually to turn it on/off or set the machine running by Motion detecting function.But the time of Motion detecting function will not be long.thanks.

I don't know if it can be set in that way, but I doubt about it. Anyway, light was turn on after a motion was detected in 10s it automatically switch to dim mode. The light will stay on in dim mode until next motion detected.

I am not sure if it can be turned off, however, I have mine installed with a wall switch to have the option to turn it on and off when I so need to or leave it on if going away for a period of time then it will be using the dawn to dusk feature (sensor). Hope this helps!

The instruction manual says: "To disable the motion sensor and keep the light continuously on for the night, flip the wall switch off for 3 seconds and then back on. To reset to Security mode, flip switch again off for 3 seconds and back on. If you leave the light on all night it will automatically turn off at dawn and reset to security mode." I didn't install the light with a wall switch and don't use this feature but have no doubt that it works. I have two of these lights and find them very bright. Don't stare at them or you'll see spots!Cheers,Paul.

I have my lights set for motion and they only come on after dark. I would think the night light mode would do the same.
