Is there a way to turn off or override the dusk to dawn sensor so it is operating 24/7?

Flip the switch on the top. It isn't a on/off switch, it's a 24/7 or day switch.

Yes.....see instructions.....just close the little door that covers the sensor eye located on the top of the unit. It will then work day and night.

No. The unit has a light sensor that will not allow motion sensor to turn on until dark.

If that is what you want a light sensor might be a better choice. There are socket adapters readily available with sensors. As 'crazy for christmas' pointed out, this timer can be programmed to come on at sunset and remain on a set number of hours, which could be changed as the season progresses to be close to dawn.

I've purchased 4 total and never had a problem, it just has to be dark. You could place your hand over sensor to make it dark, to make sure, otherwise prob faulty

The light doesn't go on in daytime because it has a light sensor. You might be able to tape over the sensor to disable it.

There doesn't seem to be a way to do that the way other alarms do. I press the alarm button to turn it off, then just turn it right back on again. And that resets it for the next day. And then I can not turn it on for the weekend. Maybe in a fancier version there is more programming capability?

Just turns on with the motion sensor and turns off based on a setting you make on the rear of the unit.It also has a dawn to dusk setting. I have not tried that setting since I wanted the motion activation.

No: You can get from Amazon a sensor that will fit in the light bulb socket that will make it Dawn to Dusk.

The only way to override the automatic light-sensing "off" switch is to put tape over the sensor. It would stay on all the time then.

No. There is no on/off switch on the sensor itself. If you want that function, you should wire it up through a wall switch or circuit breaker.

I use one sensor and it alerts me in 2 locations on my property, Bugs running across it can set it off. Needs some light to make it work too.

You can of course have this light fixture (and thus all the 3 lights in it) on a switch and turn it off or on at will. The dusk to dawn feature could be eliminated but based upon what I see, you would be better to get a Lithonia 3 light LED floodlight which did not have the dusk to dawn feature, but maybe a motion sensor to turn on when someone/thing came near. Contact Lithonia for the variances they have in their LED floodlights to know your options.

I use the option "manage delays", so after 4 minutes delay i turn off the lights. Btw, the sensor reset after 4 minutes.

Yes the dusk to dawn switch can be bypassed. I have two lights on one switch and I am very happy with the quality and amount of light they put out.

I do not have this system but if it only turns on and off by plugging in and out and you only want it on at night, plug it into a timer. That might do the trick for you.

make sure it faces the southwest sky and there are no objects blocking the solar panel. also if another source of light at night is close by, it will turn the light sensor switch off. :-) JM

There is not a traditional timer outside the light sensor system. Since I decided to mount my unit inside, I ended up just pluging it in a standard $10 lamp timer which I can set how I want. I just keep the unit pack in the on position.
