how long does the light stay on if there is movement
2021027
If you keep moving around in front of the light, it stays on. However, I don't think that's going to be an issue. We have some other lights (not Mr. Beams but similar) which are also wireless, LED, motion-activated, and they're located just off our back porch. We also have two terriers and a doggie door back there. The dogs run in and out at night and set off those lights all the time, and they stay on for a while because the dogs are running around the yard and passing by them frequently. Those lights only have AA batteries in them, yet have been burning well since April without a battery change. The Mr. Beams lights use D batteries, so it's my guess they'll last even longer yet. And the Mr. Beams lights are brighter and were also cheaper than the first lights we bought. I'm very pleased with the purchase.

Light stays on 15 - 20 seconds unless sensor detects additional movement. Not adjustable.

Just received 2 units. One shuts off after 30 seconds, the other 10 seconds. The 10 second unit is going back.

The light will stay on indefinitely as long as there is movement. It will shut off after 30 seconds of no movement.

It varies, as you can set it for how long you want the light to be on. Not sure what the longest time is, but ours is at 3 minutes and it is no problem at all. We love this light.

when it gets dark you turn off switch for one second and turn back on this will make light stay on. to reset back on motion turn switch off for one second and turn back on this will reset in motion mode

If you want to leave the other two lights on all the time this will work fine. Obviously if you turnthe switch off the unit will not work. If you turn the switch off and back on again later the motionsensor lamp will turn on and stay on for about 10 minutes then turn off and turn on when it sensesmotion

I am not good at judging lengths of time, however it stays on quite a while maybe 15 - 20 seconds. If it goes off as soon asyou get in front of it will come of it the lamp comes back on. I LOVE mine.

It come on when it sees motion. There is no delay. You can adjust the time the light stays on only.

I'm pretty sure that it doesn't extend the time period of the 45 seconds, has to add an additional 45 seconds after motion is detected again.. Hope this helps I'm very satisfied with the light, would buy again.

I think it is 15 seconds to 2 minutes range of "on" time whenever motion is detected. It stays on if there is continued motion in range of the sensor. It then reverts to the delay setting and shuts off after there is no longer motion.

Not very long - I'll go time it for you. But you need to continue to move around if you want it to stay on when it's in motion detection mode.

It's annoying in that it shuts off after only a few seconds unlike other motion sensor lights which can stay on for 30 secs up to a few minutes. It will stay on as long as you're moving, but if you're standing there reading a label or deciding what to wear it shuts off.

Once it turns on after noticing movement you can set it to turn off after no longer detecting movement for 1,2,5,10, and 20 minutes.

No, I don't recall writing that. If I did, I must have been suffering from the sun myself. The light does not come on during the day. It comes on about 30 minutes after sundown on a low setting. If motion is detected it comes on nice and bright for about 30 seconds and then goes back to the dim setting. It stays active the entire night.

No, it stays on. I recommend setting it for the shortest setting, which is 20 seconds, to conserve the battery. I think these lights are great for dark spaces or places where you don't have light fixtures. I bought 5 of them!

I've not had this problem. I've owned 2 of this product for 4+ years. As long as the product sees movement, the light will stay on. I have mine placed in 2 separate rooms. The lights will come on as soon as the door is open to either room. Make sure that NO MOTION is seen by the device and it will not turn on unless it is defective.

There's a dial you can turn it to whichever length you want from 30sec to 10min I think. Also another dial for sensitivity of light for how bright the around it to trigger the motion. If there's enough light motion will not turn your light on

James, It is motion activated, so it will only turn on when something moves in front of it. If you need more specific information, or the light is not turning on for some reason, feel free to shoot me an email under our seller account.

It's a motion detector light, so I don't see why it should stay on for 2 hours. Mine is set for 10 minutes, or so. I've had mine for a year or two, and haven't yet replaced the bulb.
