You need to figure out which are really power (hot wire) and attach the black don the photocell to that one.Then all the whites can go together an the red goes to the lamp or whatever you want to turn on an offAt the beginning when you turn on the cell it will light up until it senses the light and then it will go off in a little whileIf not the cell is bad

I did not use it, My electrician said it will not work with the sign lighting ( outdoor), so all I can say that it is not suitable for outdoor use.

The incoming power wire, black, connects to the black wire from the photocell and to the plug outlet, but not to the lamp. The red from the photocell connects to the black wire of the lamp. All whites (neutrals) connect together. If you connect the power to the lamp directly, as you stated, you are bypassing the photocell and the lamp will always stay on.

I've got my lamp pluged into an electrical strip, and with each touch to the base, it gets brighter till the 4th touch and it turns off. Your lamp should should turn off with the 4th touch, if not, could be defective.

My light (green) stay's on when charging. It goes off when complete. Mine only blinks when the battery is low. It sounds as if your battery might be faulty. I never use tech support on anything. They usually know less about their products than we do!

Don't think so, my lamps only have one "on" setting. All four come on whenit's turned on.

The light is polarity sensitive, red is positive, black is negative, check the polarity of your existing wiring, you may find black is positive and white is negative. Why you have 2 white wire? I'm not sure, one wire may possibly be suppling gound to another fixture... goood luck, Scott

I agree with David. I have mine on a switch and simply turn the switch off if I don't want it to come on that evening or if I want to turn it off early. No need to disable the photocell. It's a great light, very bright and very economical. I've had it for a year now. Jim

Try to charge it again. The red charging light should lit. Goes off when charge completed. If the red light stay on for days that means the battery is not charging. Remember the LED lights only turn on in "DARK" when unplug from outlet or no electricity. The unit is designed for emergency usage (no electricity , total darkness). LED lights won't turn on under daylight or normal room light. Call them for replacement if you think it is defective. I have half dozen of these for three years. And they still working in good order. I hope they will last for couple more years.

They shouldn't turn on during the day but the ones around my house that are shaded DO turn on and all 3 are set to the lowest sensetivity level. Also, one of them turns on and off all the time and I think it may be defective. It should work properly if you put it in an area that gets a decent amount of sunlight during the day.

You cannot turn the light off unless you unplug the product because the light is supposed to let you know that power is going through the item. If the light is off while plugged, that means there is no power.

I wired mine with a 12 DC plug and it had power (red light) but would not come on. We had to return ours.

I did have that problem. However, there's an alternate method of turning on and off the light by twisting the front end. I twist the front end a little bit so the light is off which does not allow it to be turned on using button on the rear.

I've had the same problem. But sometimes it does turn them off and others it doesn't. I use them for exterior out door string light.

They all turn off the lighting, but unit is still on and working. If you want to turn unit off put it in cable mode.

It should turn on automatically in the dark. I'm not aware of any switch that affects this so suspect it is defective.

I don't charge mine very often as the charge lasts a very long time. To be honest all I do is plug it in overnight and unplug in the morning. I've never looked for the light to change. Sorry that doesn't really answer your question but it's what works for me.
