If I plug the controller into a motion sensor or timer, will it remember the color and brightness settings the next time it is powered on?

Hello, Yes it will come on to last settings you put in. Same brightness and colors you put in.

It should. I haven't tried it myself, but generally when I turn it off from the controller if I have it set on a certain color it goes to the color it was set to before. Hope that helps!

yes, if you turn on/off with the lever or remote the bulb remembers the last color setting..

No it wont.. But if u didn't already know. The light bar uses about 80% of the power. So if it seems like ur battery is dyin faster it's because the battery is gettin old & it's time to invest in another controller. Cause the newer the controller the better the battery life... Hope this helps

Yes. When you set the timer switch duration, it will reset every time the power to the switch turns off, in anticipation of the next "on" cycle.

I have 2 on one extension cord plugged into a rocker switch. The light is set to soft fade and it remembers the setting each time I turn it on. Maybe this is a newer model than the posts here that say it doesn't remember the last setting.

When you turn it on, then it will stay on until the time on the timer expires, which it then turns off. Then it will come back on after the motion sensor is invoked or if you turn off and turn on the switch.

Yes. The controller allows you to select many different colors or rotate through all the colors or set up your own program.

No, but you can reduce the sensitivity of the motion sensor AND decrease the amount of time it stays bright when triggered. So, the way I have it set, the light comes on at dusk at a low intensity and will stay on continuously until dawn. If you walk directly in front of it, closer than about 5 feet or so, it goes to full brightness, then if the motion is not triggered again, it goes back to the low brightness in about 1 minute or less. When set in this mode, at no time does it completely turn off, unless the batteries are really run down. When you first receive it, the batteries could be really low (mine was) and I thought at first it was defective, until I reread the instructions, and understood how it's programmed to function. The motion sensor has priority, meaning that when the battery gets really low, the light will discontinue the low intensity dusk to dawn mode, and save what power is left to turn on bright when motion triggered..... So be sure to let it charge at least one day in the sun before you turn it to any setting other than off. (Still charges battery when turned to off). Since I have had it it has always remained on until dawn, even with some really cloudy and raining days decreasing its ability to charge. Now if it's motion sensor gets triggered too often, I can see the battery maybe getting rundown..... It this happens you can use another trick I have used before....simply take black electrical tape and tape up a portion of the motion sensor. Covered by black tape it will NOT sense motion.

Yes once the unit is installed, only than the LED will light up blue, purple, or red your choice.

Yes. When the time is up, it turns green and stays green until you turn it off or reset it.

Yes, with constant power the motion sensor (which is adjustable for sensitivity) will turn the light on. The timer which is also adjustable for duration will turn the light off.

Maybe. It retains the programming for a period of time after you remove power. I never found out how long though.

Yes, it will remember the last setting used, even if you do not save it. When you turn the unit back on it will be at the last setting used.

yes, it will show you in light in the controller. when its full charged, the light will disappear from controller.

If you leave the light on in a particular mode for 3-6 seconds it will remember that mode when you turn it off. If you turn it off and on too quickly it will advance to the next mode every time it's turned on and off.

Yes, sort of. If wired through a conventional light switch, then cycling the power will put it in "manual mode," in which case it will remain on until turned off again. On power up once again, it goes into automatic mode and will use the light and motion sensors.The manual is available online from their website:http://www.heath-zenith.com/servsup_manual.cgi

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