The lamp is plugged in. The ball motor is battery operated. There's a small switch on the base that holds the ball. It requires 1 "D" battery (included) if I remember right.

Yes, you have to plug the light in and unplug it for each use, as there is no switch on it. The ball has an on/off switch to make it rotate and is battery operated.

The light gets plugged in and the ball has batteries to rotate it. I might add the batteries last awhile, so many times I left the ball on for a day or more by accident!

If the power cord connections are all tight, and the outlet it's plugged into works, it should turn on. Possibly you got a defective one.

I would say it has to be switched off, plug in USB then turn it on. Ours is particular because I plug ours in to a wall recharger to keep it running all night and we have to start it playing first and then plug it in. While ours are still working, they are particular about how they work.

Yes, this switch does need to be plugged in. There is no on/off switch so it is always on unless you unplug it from the wall. It is a high quality switch. I did a review and gave it 5 stars.

Yes, plugs into socket. Stand it up to turn on light. Lay it on its side to turn it off!

It plugs in. I used an extension cord & a hook that works for plants or bird feeders.

With US plug just plug into socket and it is on. Then when finished unplug from socket.

Charge it for a while and then try to use it. You can use it while it is plugged up

there is a usb cable in the bottom of the unit. there is no switch so the way to turn it on is plug the cable into your computer.

Make sure you charge it and also turn it on. The button on the bottom turns it on.

It plugs in. But the one I got lasted for just over a year and then the power supply died. The frame just wouldn't turn on anymore. Definitely not a well made product.

No, it does not. As soon as its plugged in it comes on. Unplug to turn off.

you have to plug it into a usb or get an adapter plug to plug in outlet. They are built in batteries.

Plug in. Use caution. We bought 2 defective units. Possibly a poorly made product

It's plug-in. Lights weren't bright enough and had a hard time returning it.

just plug it in and its up and running. Mine didn't last a month and quit working. I haven't replaced it.

I believe you have to either touch the power button and turn it on or else simply plug it in and it starts on auto. I have been simply plugging it in and then unplugging it when its not needed.
