Can you leave this charging and on all night, or do you have to remove it from the charging station to turn it on as a night light?

You cannot charge and use it simultaneously. If it's on when it's charging, the battery will become damaged.

I leave it on and on the charger all night, every night. It's lasted 2.5 years so far.

I have left it on when I have forgotten to charge it and it has been just fine so far, all night.

I leave mine plug in all the time. It only charges when their is sufficient light. It also works under some lights at night.

I have left mine overnight and did not notice any problem. I think it would be best, however, to remove them promptly after they are fully charged.

No. The lights are to show you the remaining juice in the battery. Once you plug in your device and starts charging the lights go off. It will be a waste of energy to keep them on.

I have had no problem turning the device on, it does need charging more frequently than others. Typically I leave it plugged in overnight.E

To my knowledge as long as the red light is on, the unit is being charged. But I'm confused by what you say about unplugging the unit. I just leave mine in the sun and forget it, but I'm just a customer not an expert.

You won't need to use it while charging battery life is good, plus when you need charge it at night. The answer is yes

I believe the instruction say the light should not be operating during the charging cycle (USB cable plugged in). I remove the light from the mounting bracket when I get home and charge it in my house during the evening, that way it is fresh for the next day. I use the light on my commute about 30 minutes a day on the way home at night. I usually charge it up after 3 uses, but I suspect I could go longer.

If you are referring to when you are charging a phone, yes the light can be turned off when charging a phone. Pressing the button once turns on the power to the USB then a second time turns on the light.

Yes The light is seperate from the charger. There will always be enough energy to light up the night even after the unit has charged up a mobile device.

You won't need to leave it charging. I Charged it one time since I got it a month ago, used it at least 10-15 times, and the light is still bright green.

Yes, you can keep it on all night! Actually I never turned off it since purchase. There is no option to turn off LEDs but their light is not so much "invasive".

you mean switch?, when its charging a device you can have it on on and also have it in the sunlight (charging both at once) , or you can keep it on off and just have the charger go to 50% ( you have to plug into the wall or computer to get it to 100%

Not sure I understand question... it's not a night light. When plugged in there is a red light , not bright enough to consider it a night light. It's meant to go on when power goes out. When it's unplugged, it can be used as a nice little flashlight which I've used many times for short periods. I love these lights.

Hi Mary,I am sorry to hear your mobile only lit up for one night. You should see underneath of the top(where the top of the strings are located) there is an on/off switch. Please turn it to the "OFF" position for at least 24-48 hours and then turn it back to the "ON" position. This will allow the item to fully charge. If you are still having trouble, please email us so we can locate your order and take care of this for you. -Cory, Wind & Weather Customer Service

you can leave it plugged in as long as you like. the light changes color when it is finished charging. will need new usb cord though. it may also break if you are trying to recharge a high amp device. my GF uses it every other day, it gets pretty hot when charging her phone.
