Does anyone actually use their front light before? you have to manually turn it on when it's dark right?

The "night vision lights are not IR lights they are actually very bright led's which just light up the windshield area of your car making it impossible to see out of the windshield at night. very big flaw in the design also the night vision is not true night vision it will only record what your headlights illuminate

Nah, I'm front ct and have had my light out at night in the single digits and teens and had no problem. Just keep it in my jacket pocket until I need it and pull it out and use it for about 30 min or so each time and it worked np. Probably used it in these Temps about half a dozen times this winter.

If you set it correctly, when it gets dark it will come on dimly then go bright at the time you select then go dim again when you designate that too. Neat!!

I have not. I did get a lamp out light. When I turned the key back on the next time, it went off. Sorry. I guess I better check mine.

No. Turns on with the push button between the two lights and you have to push to cycle to the mode you want or turn it off. But that's not an issue for me.it's only three modes. This is a very bright light! No problem being seen day or night. I'm very happy with it. I've had it for several months and used it every night during the winter here in Florida for about two hours each night and haven't had to replace the battery yet.

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.

I believe you have a defective light. I love mine. It only has on and off features.

Yes, our experience with the light (before it completely stopped working), was that it was always on in the dark, albeit at reduced illumination. Once the motion sensor was activated, the light would temporarily get quite a bit brighter.

Neither can I, they are very similar. One suggestion, I had to cover part of the sensor. In the middle of the night, even if I moved my arm, the light would come on for the full minute. Not a good situation.

The backlight is not always on when you push a button. I think it is designed this way. It all depends on the light condition. If it's bright enough, like during the day, the backlight won't turn on. There's a small light sensor on the top left corner of the LCD display which will detect the outside brightness condition, if it finds outside is too dark, it will turn on the backlight when you press a button. Hope this will help.

Yes! I do have to hit the lights on manually tho just because toes don't go back far enough to trigger it automatically. Love this light!

I'm not really sure. All I know is that when mine gets into the dark the light automatically comes on and when it's light in the room it goes off. I'm sorry for not being able to help you. You might go to a store that sells new ones that used to sell the one like you had, such as radical and maybe they could fix or recomend someone.

NO it does NOT come on at dusk, it has a switch on the side that lets you have it on a low light or bright light setting and you just pull the sting to turn it on any time you need light. I leave mine on the bright setting and have it in the ceiling of my storage room (always dark). You just pull the string to turn it on!

Yes, my light doesn't turn on at all during daylight, it's set to come on only for a few minutes when it senses motion at night - but I believe it also has a setting that you can set it to turn on at dusk and off at dawn if you want it to stay on all night long (but I'm not 100% sure of that, I've never wanted a light to burn all night long which was why I bought a light with a motion sensor). Hope this helps!

Just hold the button down for a few seconds, no more red light. It drove me crazy. Thanks to the guy w/the answer.
