Can the light stay on during the night, but then get brighter when the motion sensor activates?

Yes. There are various settings including how long the brighter light will stay on. You can test the angle of the sensor to better detect what you want to trip the higher beam. Also sensitivity and distance are adjustable. The nice thing is the low beam is not so bright as to be constantly objectionable to you or neighbors.

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

No,the light will stay on for about 20 minutes then shut off after there is no motion.

Yes, it can be. I have 3 of these and have covered the sensor (the small little hole, not the white translucent plastic bulge), and that way the sensor turns the light on if there is motion day or night. I see someone else said no, but I don't think they did it right, because it works on all 3 of mine. PS - I used black electrical tape so that the sensor would be well blacked out.

unfortunately, no. This light is as simple as take it out of the box, leave it outside, and at dawn it will come on standby and when motion is detected it will light up for 10 seconds or as long as this is still movement.

Yes, unfortunately it only stays on as long as you are continuously pressing the switch. However, I am overall satisfied with the light

Yes, once the sensor knows it is dark - it becomes active. The unit stays off during daylight.

Three night lights turn on when they sense motion and turn off about a minute after motion is no longer sensed. It only does so in the dark, it does not do so in a lit environment.

No, it works by motion/temp change, so it will not turn off as long as there is someone in the area and moving. You can also control the motion sensor sensitivity, so it won't turn on while the room lights are turned on. When the unit is activated, it will shut of based on the predetermined timer setting. You won't be disappointed.

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.

Based on other answers, "yes" is incorrect. Apparently, you cannot have constant light -- the motion sensor times out. The indoor switch would only serve to disable the motion sensor during the day.

Yes, sensitivity is unchanged at night. The sensor eye illuminates slightly when it is sensing. In daylight it can not be seen. This does not affect it's ability to sense motion, but if you are trying to tell if you have set off the alarm you can not tell when the sensor is in bright light. You need a helper in the house to tell you when it is working.

No you can't just leave it on. There is no real on and off switch for that. BUT it does turn on once movement is detected. It is very sensitive. Right now, mine is set for movement up to about 50'. I don't know how long it will run with constant movement. Light is very bright. I was impressed for a solar LED light. It is excellent when used as a security light or when needing help to find your way in the dark. Only had it up for about a month so can't say much about how long it will last.

When ambient light is low the unit lights dimly and stays lit dimly giving low illumination. Once activated by motion it becomes much brighter. This would of course conserve stored energy. I did not see anything in the manual that mentioned the ability to set the unit to provide light all night long without motion (keep in mind I'm operating off my memory as I no longer have the manual). I'll post again on the unit after its been in use for > 1 month to let you know what reliability is. It has operated for > 1 week without problems.

A. No, light sensor leaves light off during day even when motion detected.B. If light switch is off, lights are off and sensor has no control.

I guess the answer to that is no. You can set it to be on during the day or have the light sensor will keep it off in daylight. I don't think the motion sensor it will turn it off and on in daylight. I have mine set to be off in daylight and to come on for 5 minutes at night in response to motion. If you had reason to have it turn off and on in daylight, you would probably have to cover the light sensor.

No, you can't override any of the activities except to turn on or shut the entire unit off using a pin switch. The switch disconnects the battery so the light doesn't come on during shipment or handling. It arrives in the "off" position and you must turn it on after installation or it won't work. If the light were to remain on, the battery would discharge in an hour or two and the unit would turn off. The brief "on" time is to preserve the battery life so it will function most of the night. It will emit a glow (low power) as soon as it gets dark so you can actually see in the immediate area. It will brighten for about 30 seconds when the motion sensor activates it. The glow is about like a 10 watt bulb and the bright is about like a 60 watt bulb. Hope this helps.

In this sensor's normal operation, it stays triggered to ON for four minutes before resetting to OFF. If motion is repeatedly detected within 4 minutes, it stays ON. There are three sensitivity settings, at the most sensitive, it will pick up some rather slight movements. If you can set your program to monitor the status of the sensor to turn the light off after the sensor returns to off, that should work. If 4 minutes isn't enough delay, there is also a "Test" mode in this sensor that eliminates the 4 minute reset time and it will continue sending out ON signals every time motion is sensed. You could program in your own time delay in this mode. No clue on how it would affect the battery life.

No. There is a small red light that is on the sensor. It blinks when activated. No visible light like a night light,
