It says they have "light and motion sensors." Does this mean they won't light up during the daytime? Just wanted to confirm, thanks!

Well I don't know about light but certainly motion. You really can't see them light up in the day time but they do turn on with motion. They really shine at night.

I guess the answer to that is no. You can set it to be on during the day or have the light sensor will keep it off in daylight. I don't think the motion sensor it will turn it off and on in daylight. I have mine set to be off in daylight and to come on for 5 minutes at night in response to motion. If you had reason to have it turn off and on in daylight, you would probably have to cover the light sensor.

Be happy that the motion sensing works for u. In mine it did not. Without a separate light sensor you cannot do what you want

Hi, There are ones that are both motion detection with dusk-to-dawn and ones with just dusk-to-dawn. I bought the dusk-to-dawn ones and they come on at dark and stay on the same power until dawn. They work great and were very easy to install. Thanks.

The sensors are built in, and effectively 'on' when the light is plugged in. However, without an adequate amount of direct light, I've had the same issue as you where they just stay on (as a test you could shine a flashlight at them and confirm they turn off).

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.

Your question pretty much summarizes it, EXCEPT that their "motion detection" is not what I expected... To me it seems that its not a "PIR motion detection", but rather any kind of movement detection. I got two sets, one for my deck and other one for front - garage etc. If there is a "car" passing by 100 ft away, that turns on the 40 lumens light draining the battery. Works as expected on my deck and they look beautiful when on low powered light.It needs direct sunlight for best charging.

It has a light sensor in it. When it is daylight it does not come on. At night the motion sensor is great. The light is very bright, I use it in the entry of my garage to light the way. I would highly recommend it if a bright light is what you are looking for.

We use it as a motion-sensing light. One switch controls the time the light stays on after being activated by motion, and the other switch controls the sensitivity. There is a sensor under the lamp which senses daylight, so this thing isn't flashing on and off during the daytime (note how the exterior lights aisle in Home Depot will flash at you as you walk through, even though the store is brightly lit... no daytime sensors)

The listing says it has a light sensor, but they apparently do not. Our light up with motion in the day or the night.

Similar issues - the sensor needs direct sunlight in order to turn off. Late in the day is probably when the sensor is getting the most sunlight. My sensors didn't work at all.

Yes and no. There is a switch to turn them on, but they won't come on in the day time, only at night. But you can turn them off so they don't come on at night.

No, they don't turn off during the day. But you don't notice them when it's light out, and they use very little power.

No, I don't recall writing that. If I did, I must have been suffering from the sun myself. The light does not come on during the day. It comes on about 30 minutes after sundown on a low setting. If motion is detected it comes on nice and bright for about 30 seconds and then goes back to the dim setting. It stays active the entire night.

The lights respond only when there is sufficient darkness and movement, such as walking up or down the stairs at nighttime. It is definitely not a mere motion detector. They do not respond unless it is sufficiently dark on the stairs. They shut off automatically approximately 45 seconds after passing the last light fixture. We are very pleased with the lights!

No.. They are solar lights & stay on when sun goes down. They are beautiful. We bought 3 sets & have no problems at all. Their illumination is subtly bright for lack of better words. We already have Christmas lights up ( all year event) and they still come on & add even more ambience since we have them attached to underneath the windows to illuminate the flower beds etc! Hope this helps. Bottom line is no motion only although we did buy some that are motion activated that can be turned off & those little babies are bright! Look at my reviews for item if that is what you're definitely looking for! Cheers!! No.. They are solar lights & stay on when sun goes down. They are beautiful.

I have never noticed the lights being activated by motion in the daylight. Bob
