Does the light really only illuminate when the switch is on? I want to be able to find it in the dark to kick on a lamp.

Yes. I don't know if they are all that way or if mine was just wired incorrectly. It definitely defeats the purpose of an illuminated switch.

Yes, the light is only illuminated when the switch is already on, so it won't be of any help when trying to find the switch in a dark room.

It also has orange LEDs around the switch base, making it very easy to find.

Lamp is more of a night light - not very bright and certainly not bright enough to read by. Yep, jlhas it's own on/off switch.

no, it doesn't seem like it. as you flip the switch the light comes on. hope this helps.

There is a cog looking button (sun to everyone else i suppose ha) that you press once for a low light setting and the second for full illumination. It works wonderfully and stays lit until you're inactive a certain amount of time -- though I've never turning off prematurely.

There is a small bulb in the leg. It doesn't illuminate the whole leg (or appear to) unless the room is fairly dark. It works on a three way switch. Leg, normal lamp, or both. :)

Nope. only the sensitivity does. if you do not want the led too bright, try fixing it facing up rather than shining on your floor board.

Robert, The lighted Foot Switch will light up half way when you first plug it in to electrical socket in the wall. This is showing that power is going through the Lighted Foot Switch. When you connect it to a lamp and turn the lamp on, the Lighted Foot switch stays totally on, when turning off the lamp using the Foot Switch, the dial on the Lighted Foot Switch will remain half lighted. Hope this answered your question, I think it is a great product.

NO it does NOT come on at dusk, it has a switch on the side that lets you have it on a low light or bright light setting and you just pull the sting to turn it on any time you need light. I leave mine on the bright setting and have it in the ceiling of my storage room (always dark). You just pull the string to turn it on!

Yes. It turns the light on with a tap. A second tap makes it brighter and a third tap is the brightest. The fourth tap will turn it off. I use it with a torchiere lamp. I like the low light when I'm watching TV and the brighter settings when I'm working at the computer.

That's how I have mine but there is only the 1 switch, you have to open it up and cut the wire leading to the large lamp or it will drain the battery too fast. Works almost all night long before the battery runs out. I use them strictly for accent lighting so the low power led's are all I wanted.

Remember, it is motion-activated, not light-activated. I have noticed that the bulb I have in the basement (and there are two windows in the area) does come on (briefly) when I enter that section. I don't see it as a problem because it is on for only a couple of minutes.

The entire switch/slider doesn't light up (see Ty P.'s answer ) -- it is a moderate-intensity orange light below the switch itself. It's certainly sufficient to facilitate locating the switch in a dark hallway or room. The light on the switch turns off when the switch is turned on (makes sense...).

Only comes on when there is motion, yes at dark. It stays on for 20 seconds. Very bright.

Correct. The LED only comes on in the ON position and is off in the OFF position. This is a good thing since you won't accidentally leave your switch on as the LED is pretty bright and there is no mistaking whether the switch is ON or OFF. I am very satisfied with this switch and finished up my light install very well and was a definite upgrade over the supplied switch that came with my lights.

When I turn my light off at the switch, the light bulbs go completely dark. I used to have some dimmable CFLs that would "glow" even if the switch was turned off, I have not had this problem with these light bulbs.

Yes. In my installation, when I turn on the fan the light goes on but it is very dim. I have another switch that turns on the light by itself with the full brightness of the bulb itself. When you turn on the fan with the dimmed light, you can flip the other switch to the ON position and you'll have the bright light with the fan on. I guess this is by design so you can save energy when you turn ON the fan during daylight. I hope this helps.

No, it only comes on in the dark (had this product for a couple months now, still HIGHLY recommend).
