Is it possible to switch on and off with a switch instead of motion? I want to hang under my gutters to light up yard too high to get to if not.

It can be done but not that practical. My light is connected to a wall switch that I can turn on or off. The key is you have a built in timer that is activated with motion to turn light on when dusk approaches. The timer is turned off if you turn switch off then on again. I know the instruction tell you how long you need to wait if you want to back to motion use but this will put light on until you decide to turn it off again. They also make similar lights that are not motion activated. This may be your best approach.

I'd say no. If you have this motion detector light, it is activated by motion. Lithonia may have a motionless light with an on and off switch. Lithonia has a website so you can check there if you wish.

when it gets dark you turn off switch for one second and turn back on this will make light stay on. to reset back on motion turn switch off for one second and turn back on this will reset in motion mode

I think you could dim it from the switch also.... I know you could from the dimmer, however I did away with these type switches.....they started coming on by themselves. I went with the heavy duty models and never had any more trouble.

Yes. I had a switch that was not accessible from the entrance to the room - so I installed the Leviton anywhere switch and now the lights can be turned on and/or off from either switch.

The small toggle switches inside the housing are for a remote control unit that comes with some of the units. One is able to change the 'code' in the unit and the unit to coincide in case they have more than one unit and more than one remote. I am able to selectively light up sections of my yard without lighting up the entire yard. I am also able to selectively light up the entrance to my walk before an individual sets off the other units.

Yes, you can turn off the switch so that the deck light will not activate when it gets dark.

Hello, Not sure I can help you. We have 2 of these lights each on a separate switch. I generally don't leave either one on because we have enough light in our park. If I quickly flip the switch twice the light goes manually. They do work as motion sensor lights if switched into the proper mode. We do like these lights and have LED bulbs in them. Take Care.

Yes, that's correct. I think the amount of time that it stays off is programmable. This is quite a nice switch although I haven't figured out how to "train" it to only come on when it's dark. I haven't really taken the time to work with it. The support folks are very helpful and friendly.

Yes! You will have the choice to turn your light on/off using your switch, as well as setting it for motion security.

Yes, this light is wired for a light switch to stay on for motion, or switch off if you don't want the light to come on.

No you can't. If you wire straight to a toggle and not have a flasher of some sort the light will just come on and not flash.

The light we bought is not wired to a light switch. It is wired to an extension cord, wrapped in black electrical tape at the point of connection, then ran along the garage ceiling to the outlet in the ceiling. It turns on at dawn and off at dusk. If it's wired into a light switch, I don't know why you couldn't control it with that switch.

If you put it on a switch then you are controlling the normal operation. So, if you want it off while at night then flip the switch. However, if you switch it on during the daylight you will have no light on.

Yes you can turn it off and on with a switch. But it will only light when it dark outside

No you can't just leave it on. There is no real on and off switch for that. BUT it does turn on once movement is detected. It is very sensitive. Right now, mine is set for movement up to about 50'. I don't know how long it will run with constant movement. Light is very bright. I was impressed for a solar LED light. It is excellent when used as a security light or when needing help to find your way in the dark. Only had it up for about a month so can't say much about how long it will last.

If you cover the light sensor with duct or electrical tape then yes you could turn it on or off with a switch.

not a switch it's to remount the housing to base when changing battreies. light is not waterproof. i have to empty out water if it gets wet.
