As a security switch. If someone turns the light off with the switch, the light will come on again w/ motion after a certain amount of time correct?

Yes, that's correct. I think the amount of time that it stays off is programmable. This is quite a nice switch although I haven't figured out how to "train" it to only come on when it's dark. I haven't really taken the time to work with it. The support folks are very helpful and friendly.

That's right. I think the default is 1 minute and believe the time is configurable. It works every time.

Yes. If you turn the light off manually it will not immediately respond to motion to turn it back on, but after a minute or so it will resume the motion sensor function.

Of course yes, the motion sensor is an option that allows you to set the timing of the Motion Sensor. If you do not want to use Motion Sensor feature, select it to "OFF". Or you can choose between 5/10/30/60 minutes. Whatever you choose, this means that if the frame does not sense human movement within this time, the frame will automatically turn off. When someone re-enters the room and movement is sensed within 8 ft of the frame, it will turn on again resuming the display that was on the screen before it switched off. Videos will restart themselves.

If you just walk by and then leave the area where the lamp is, it stays on for about 1 minute. If you stay near it, it stays on as long as you are near it. I guess as long as it detects motion, it will stay on. When there is no more motion, it shuts off after one minute. I hope this helps answer your question. If you have more questions, feel free to ask. Thanks!

It will light up when a motion detected, otherwise it's dark. If a customer want to use it as security, the light can be covered with black tape.

If you already have an on/off switch it is no roblem........you simply cover the little light sensor with black electrical tape. The light will be on or off depending on the switch position.

Think of it as a light bulb...once it gets triggered, ('switched on'), it stays on until you, or your triggering system, shuts it off or resets. It doesn't have it's own timer....same as a light bulb.

it will come on when any motion is noticed by the eye. to use it as a light may not work even on a on off switch.

I put it in my closet and it does work perfectly, even i set the switch on (day) or (night) it still works fine, it will turn off after 20 seconds if there is no movement , i really have not tested it at day time, but honestly i would reccomend it.

Yes, however, both of my light fixtures operated by pull chain (i.e. pull the chain, the light is on) so when I screwed in the new motion activated light bulbs, I left them on the "on" position and they turned off within 3-4 minutes. I would assume that a flip switch would be the same way; leave it on and let the new light turn off by itself. I, personally, love the convenience.

One or the other, not both. To use the motion sensor the switch must be "on"; then when it is light outside the lamp is "off", but when motion is detected in the dark, it comes "on".

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.

There is both a sensitivity switch and a switch which has a test position and various number of minutes you want it to stay on. In the test position it will come on even during day light. If you leave it in this position, the motion sensor will allow the bulb to turn on even during daylight. This will burn out the bulb fairly quickly. The longer time duration you choose will also result in shorter bulb life. I installed two of these over a year ago, set to 1 minute per activation, and have not had to replace the bulbs yet.

It is not a motion detector. It is just a standard floodlight operated by a switch! It is important to note that motion detector lighting require a switch. if turned off/on quickly, it will stay on. If turned off, a moment later turned on, it will cycle as desired!

Hi Jeremy, I have it hardwired to an existing light switch receptacle and you leave the switch in the on position. The light are then controlled by motion sensor and shut off automatically at your choice of a predetermended length of time of which I think there are 5 choices from 1 to 20 min. intervals.

No. The light has a dim mode and activates to the bright light when motion is detected. The light goes back to dim mode after about 10 seconds.

If your question is, can you turn the light on from a switch and bypass the motion detector.No I dont think so. It's always on and operated by the motion detector.

Yep, senses motion and turns off after a minute or so. I bought it to replace a light fixture in our hallway that had a pull chain on it, but no wall switch. This thing is great, I don't have to hunt in the dark for the chain anymore! And it looks nice too.
