I am looking for something to aid in my searching (lost pet) and wondering if the light from the street lamps will damage the device while searching?

Hi Mark,I'm not sure. I use the device during hunting where no any lights. I guess you shouldn't direct it to street lamps.Good luck

Only if you look directly at them... The light from the street light will assist you in you search of the darer areas between homes and other dark areas.

I can only tell you what I know from experience. Light can make viewing clearer if it's far from your viewing, but close light can hurt your eyes. Whether or not it can damage the device, I don't know. It says if you power it up in open light, don't remove lens cap or it will damage the device...I'd say email the company directly but it's probably impossible to get an answer.

No I do not think so ,but never point at the street light or at any direct light..I found this scope for the money good deal gen 1 .anything better $1000 and more.

There are street lights around me so I can see far beyond the 40 foot mark. It is not high quality at distance for identifying offenders.

The flashlight I purchased shows old and new spots so I don't see any problem except that you may not be aware of which ones you did clean, if your pets are leaving you lots of problems.

My husband Chuck is a mechanic and he says it occasionally falls out of his shirt pocket without breaking. As long as it doesn't lamp tip first on the bulb it survives OK. When the light starts to flicker or seems dim, don't tap it or bang on it! Just replace the AAAA(4A) batteries right away. AAAA batteries are available at more stores than they used to be. Radio Shack has them. He is unsure of the lumens but it is plenty bright and the beam is concentrated enough for all uses. Chuck has used them for 5 or 6 yrs and bought 3 at a time because he loves them that much!

yes... just needs to be unplugged... I have red on the house and green on the grass. The red lights (I have two illuminators) have to be a distance from the house in order to maximize the lights. So for me I have them by the bottom of a tree by the sidewalk... so they can get stolen. The green lights ( I have two of these also) are up high on the house focused down on the grass. So the greelna tree ones are a bit harder to steal as you would need a ladder. I hope that helps

I only noticed it because I was looking for it due to reading other people's comments. Mostly I just leave a different lamp on that doesn't reflect from where I usually watch tv. Also you can adjust the angle of the tv so it doesn't reflect the lights. I live alone so this is easy. It's really no problem.

NO! unless yours is faulty! This light is very durable. the build quality is excellent. And it's ergonomic shape makes is very user friendly.

Why would you want to do that? If you were able to disconnect the LED's, then you may not see the image when the PIR senses someone entering. If you want to 'Catch Someone' without giving away that they're being recorded, than, don't buy this lamp; because the PIR emits a blue light when it senses movement and they'll definitely see that. The LED lights DO NOT come on during the day, if that's your concern, but the camera, tripped by the PIR, still records movement.

Hello, HG, I have to admit I have twice now used the blacklight flashlight at night just to look for pet urine and I haven't been wearing protective UV glasses. I just had a long discussion about this with my spouse who was a scientist and who told me that for my small use of that flashlight there is very little likelihood of my having any damage to my eyes; however, "little likelihood" is not a comforting thought to me and so I think I will acquire a pair of those glasses. I don't like to take chances with my eyes. Thank you for mentioning this possible problem.

YES! I have had several go out, some have the lights still on but not working still seeing signs of the little varmints.

I have it on a small pocket on my purse tight enough so i don't turn it on by accident. In months only turned on once (while i was looking for something in my purse) but i saw the red light right away and turned it off.

Nani, If the street light is close by, bright and shining directly at Mr. Beams, yes, I think that could be a cause of him not lighting. We've owned two of these lights for year, and find that they work flawlessly in the dark environment they are meant to luminate when detecting stair activity. Try relocating them so that the streetlight does not shine on the detector directly.....and, of course, check to be sure your batteries are good.

The display is not lit, but how can you walk and find anything in a "pitch black room"?For $1 you can buy a 9-LED, extremely bright flashlight at Dollar Tree :)

I wouldn't be concerned about the flash light being left in the car, but I would be more concerned about the batteries being in the car (installed in the light) especially in FLA. They will weaken and possibly leak over time.

No, it is a safety feature. Don't want to accidentally shock yourself while you are just looking for something with a flashlight.

I haven't had that problem with either of the lamps I purchased. I do know the touch pad is very sensitive. My wandering cat had turned mine off a few times. :)

Hello, please excuse my delay in responding. I have all three of them in different light settings, two of them (one in the rear bedroom and one in the front bedroom) is completely dark and it really makes it look like there is someone inside watching TV. The other one is in a half lit living room, since there is only a lamp turned on, but it also makes anyone believe from outside that there is someone watching TV in the living room. No... Outside street lights do not affect it too much. As a matter of fact, I have a public city light directly across the street from my home where one of these units is sitting in the front bedroom. I would say the post where the city light is about 50 feet away from the window. I do not know if it can be set up with a timer, since I have not tried it, primarily because I have it set in automatic, where it turns on by itself right after dark which is when I need it and turns off at first light in the morning, just like I want it to. I hope this helps!
