Does the switch to turn on the light need to be held in the on position or can you switch it on and leave it on?

I think I remember it just stays on. I would put a little tape on the clear part so you don't lose it. It's detachable

The switch is a 'slide to' on and 'slide to' off type switch - normally the switch would be moved to the on position - the light would be illuminated and stay that way until the user slid the switch to the off position - With mine, it is possible to partially slide the switch from off towards the on position and make a momentary contact which can be held and keep the light illuminated until released - I don't that the unit was designed this way and the 'momentary on while pressed' may not work for all microscopes - Here is a link to customer image that clearly shows the slide on/off switch -

I think it just stays on. Put a little tape on the clear bottom piece so I doesnt get lost.

With switch on quickly switch it off and then back on. The light should stay on.

we don't use this in the "on" position for long periods of time to get your answer. however, we have used the light for an hour or so several times and it has worked well. we have not had any issues. i have not yet replaced the batteries since i purchased over one year ago.

i opted out of wireing the light to work, but im pretty sure it turns on when the switch is turned to the on position.

Yes, you just have to hold the on button for 2 seconds. If you hold it again, the light comes back on and the must goes intermittent. The instructions tell you how to do it.

The light is the first to come on and remains on until the unit is turned off. It has a four position switch, Off-Light-Light and low IR-Light and hi IR.

If you cover the light sensor with duct or electrical tape then yes you could turn it on or off with a switch.

It has an on/off switch, but it doesn't have any other functionality. Guessing that if you just leave the light on and control it from the electrical outlet with a timer of some sort then it could work. Hard to say. Great light though.

If you want the light on constantly, you would turn your wall switch off for 3 seconds then turn wall switch back on.The light should stay on until you turn the wall switch off.If you want it to be dark while you are out there, then you would just turn the wall switch to the off position.

This light has 3 positions switch. In auto position, the light will turn on at night when it detected motion within range (it has light sensor). In manual mode, light stay on like a flashlight. In off mode, unit is off. Hope my answer help.

Yes, this light is wired for a light switch to stay on for motion, or switch off if you don't want the light to come on.

Correct. The LED only comes on in the ON position and is off in the OFF position. This is a good thing since you won't accidentally leave your switch on as the LED is pretty bright and there is no mistaking whether the switch is ON or OFF. I am very satisfied with this switch and finished up my light install very well and was a definite upgrade over the supplied switch that came with my lights.

Nope; just solid; on or off. Press button to turn on; press again to turn off. It's a surprisingly bright light, given its size.

With the switch set to the right place motion will turn the light on at any time. In another position it will come on with motion at night and stay off during the day.

yes, you push it on and off. When you push (and leave it pushed) it goes brighter or dimmer so this adjustable feature makes it very nice. When it is pushed in one position, it will be off during the day, then when the room gets dark it automatically comes on to where you previously adjusted it. If you don't want it to do this, turn it off. It also acts as a basic light. Just push it to turn it on or off at night. I use my toe. Really is a nice little light. I have three in the house.

If you leave it on and plugged in you will be fine. The on/off switch is a toggle switch.

Switch is on the lamp base, you have to be able to reach the lamp to turn on of off the light
