You have to turn the lamp on, but it won't be "on" until the timer completes the circuit (i.e. until it hits the on period that you want)

The on setting will force the socket to be a closed circut, meaning it will be on regardless of what the timer is set for. The timer setting is exactly what you would think, on an off via the tabs on the timer.

There are two ways to turn it on. 1) manual on full time (stays on till you manually turn it off) and 2) let the light sensor turn it on and the timer will turn it off x hours later.

All I did was insert the lamp into the television. The television must be off. After inserting the lamp, turn on the tv and that should be all you need to do.

There is a reset and an on switch that is one piece, that is lit. Additionally, there is a tiny lightwithout a switch, that indicates that it's on. in order to turn it off, you would pull the plug.

Caution is always the best route to take. I have left the lamp on for 8+ hours I cannot advise on leaving it on 24/7. You may consider a light sensitive night light for 24/7 use.

I leave mine set to the on position always. There's a motion sensor so the light stays on & will automatically go off after about 30 seconds after closing my door. Otherwise, depending on what you're using it for you could mount on wall or door & keep in off position & then manually turn on when you need it.

The lamp works with being plugged into an outlet, and then unplugged when you want to turn it off. My husband had an adapter that you plug into the socket and then plug in the lamp to it. The adapter has a small wireless switch that we laid near the lamp, which will turn the lamp on and off by touching the switch. We have the lamp on a cabinet which is against the wall and hides the wall plug. So this adapter makes it very convenient to turn the lamp on and off.

There are two buttons: Timer on/off; light on/off. You can turn timer on/off separately from lights on/off.

Is this true: if you send the "On" command via a z-wave controller to this switch, you can turn the lamp on and off through the lamp switch, until you send the "off" command? Or do these switches automatically turn off when there's no more power draw? But I agree with the statement "if you don't leave the lamp switch "on", you won't be able to remotely turn it on, defeating the purpose of the system".

No. The light should stay on until you turn it off. Mine has stayed on for hours at a time.

I use a timer on mine. One like I use on lamps when I go away for a week or so.

The timing when light go on & off is with plugs so no need to reset: however you need to reset the time/Harlen IT IS A GREAT TIMER

Yeah it's ok to use it with the light on. Make sure the Metal Grid is completely dry first. Reassemble and plug it in and turn off. Next get like a pen and push the reset button at the top right and the timer button at the same time to reset the machine. Turn on and the light should be gone.

I have my sensor installed on a 3-way lamp, low, med and high bulb settings. Therefore I have to touch the lamp base (or any portion of the lamp metal) 4 times to turn it on and then off. I presume with a lamp set for just on/off it would do just that, on and off.

Your timer may not be shutting off all power to the device. I would use a test light and check for current.

I just placed a timer on the power cords - I have one that accepts two plugs so both lights turn on and off at the same time.
