does it turn on when it is below horizonal or above

No one has yet mentioned that it will not activate the device until it is WAY above horizontal. Technically, "horizontal" is parallel with the ground. These switches will not do anything at that (horizontal) point. It's not until the FLOAT ITSELF is about 30-40° HIGHER than the pivot point (the point where the cord is attached or tethered) do they activate.

The switch closes when it's pointing up above the horizontal such that the pump will be energized as the water level rises.

It turns on above horizontal. The shorter the tether the more quickly it turns on.

Yes, turns on when you power up. I have not figured out how to manually turn it on yet.

It can be turned on at any time, but a lot less light is given off if not inflated. One could only partially inflate it if you wanted it to be smaller. These are great of outdoor use or emergency lighting.

There is a light on it. I am not near it to check right. After I mow my lawns it is always ready the next morning. I leave it plugged in 24/7.

If you look closely, you can see the sensor on the base. It is that small circle. You can easily cover it up to turn it on. Also, it doesn't need to be pitch dark for the globe to come on but it does need to be darker in order to see the lit images well.

The dial is low/med/high but if you turn it past low the power light goes off. It doesn't say 'off' so I might just unplug it to ensure it's off.

Yes. You set it at the temperature you want and it shuts off once that is reached and turns back on when it gets below that.

Yes it does. Right in the middle. There is a red light that shows if on or off.

Yes. There is a dial that goes from off to low, medium and high. There is a light that shows when it is off, as well.

Just put it under the sun it starts charging automatically when exposed to sunlight you should see the first battery indicator LED turn red

If the room is dark it will turn on anytime. It has to have movement & dark. I love mine!

I only turn it on with the battery is low. It automatically shuts off when the battery has fully recharged. The battery pack itself lasts a couple days before I need to recharge it.

There is a dial that starts at off and turns clockwise from low to high settings. A light goes on when it is turned on. No on/off button.

No. As below it does not turn on during the day except when you first put batteries in...after a few minutes it goes out. If you have a flag or lots of trees in your yard, be careful where you put this. It covers a wide area all the way to the sides. we put ours so it aims at the front door and window not toward the street or trees.

It's a simple temperature controller with a high temp and low temp setting. As long as you don't exceed the listed wattage and voltage, it will power on when the temp goes above a set temp or below a set temp. basic wiring expertise required.

Yes. But if you set it near the ambient temperature it will come on for a couple seconds then go off. Techs told me that is how it senses whether it needs to come on or not.

Yes, when motion turns it on. When at rest, it is dim. They work very well.
