does the light run all the time and if so how many watts does it pull?

Runs all the time . Not sure about the watts . Very little effect on my electric bill, if that's what worries you .

We have 6 installed in carports. The light stays on all night on a dim setting (40 watt?). When it detects motion it brightens to 150watt.

Maybe 6 months with no problems. It is switching about 225 watts of outside lighting every evening (both CFLs and incandescent on the same circuit). CFL's have issues with dimmers and this is not a dimmer. The device works very well and is easy to program...at least for me.

Not an expert, but I would say about 60 watts, has been a great reliable light.

This unit has three settings. Low,#1, draws 600 W. Med, #2, draws 900 W. High, #s 1 and 2, draw 1500W. Don't let these numbers scare you. I had a much older model and never had a light nor any appliance show any effect during operation.

Truthfully, I don't know. However It can handle load of 121W Total. Usualy you add all the wattage of all the lights etc. that should not exceed more than 121W. I am running all LED fixtures each with 3 watt. I have about 15 fixture on the circuits. I have don't have any trouble with it.

Yes, unfortunately it does pull some power even when turned off. I thought it didn't but my friend the electrical engineer convinced me otherwise.

No it runs by electricity. It does have a bulb that will need to be changed whenever necessary

It only uses 60 watts and you can touch 2 to 3 times to go from dim to full light. Hope that helps and is a nice product for the price.

YES, There is a small bridge rectifier in the center so it will use 12dc or ac and if running on dc polarity does not mater. This is true for all of these lamps unless they specify DC only. I have this lamp and have run it on both dc and ac. It pulls ~4 watts.

It runs 24/7. It doesn't have a switch. It uses about the same amount of electricity as a night light.

Hi MaggieThe light does stay on, but as far as I can tell it does not use much battery. hope this helps. Sue

If you have an outlet in the ceiling to run the unit and some good screws.... Just keep in mind that you will have to turn it on and off manually from the ceiling, otherwise it will run all the time. I ended up returning mine--- it didn't really do much for the price.

Yes it runs on 110. Be sure to purchase the right size bulbs, we put 100 watts in and it kept blowing the fuse. The lights are awesome.

No,this is not battery operated. You need to plug it into a 120 volt/ac outlet. I believe it uses two watts of electricity. It's economical and actually does give off a lot of light. It does not however rotate a lot in its socket.

The longest I've continuously run the light on a full battery, at full power, is one hour. Of course, there are multiple batteries that are compatible with this light so you may just want to research the capacity of each battery at the same wattage and you should be able to narrow it down to the most efficient. Hope that is helpful.

Eventually yes.The light alone pulls very little power. I haven't had a problem yet. However, I drive every day so it keeps the charged.
