does it have photocell activation for night time only?

Yes. I have it set for nightime.. I have had this light for over a year. It is very bright and lights up the whole yard.

yes this light is the best I have installed and will recommend to all my costumers. Very happy with the light no problems and best of all the customer is happy!!!

I believe it has. But again many cheaper ones (~$30) in Lowes have this function too.

yes just night.... they have been up for over 6 months or so and they have been working fine. They throw off a significant amount of light. There are ways to keep them on all night or as long as you might need them when dark. Just involves flipping the switch off for 3 seconds.

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.

Is it light outside? Although the description doesn't make it clear the unit is equiped with a photocell so the lights will not come on durring the day.

No it will record during the day without light... It's motion activated. I recommend keeping the sound alert on silent.

I am pretty sure it is based on the photo cell, because their are no clock settings. I just use mine in auto, on and off with the sun.

Yes. Charges in the sunlight for a couple days under direct sunlight. You will see a red sensor light @night when motion is detected.

I know it has a dusk to dawn setting and it is also a motion light so it must have a photocell sensor

It does not have a photo cell to activate it . It has an internal 24 hr clock that you can set to local time and set up to 6 different feeding times! Also has 3 speeds for motor! Unit is 3.5" X 3.5" x3/4". Worked well for me this year. It will hold it's time and settings while you change the battery out too! I recommend it to anyone! Also nice is the 6 or 12 volt automatic function! It senses the voltage that it's hooked up to and automatically adjusts!

No, it is intended for night time use only. Sunlight deactivates the retinol.

The timer sets the off time (1-9hrs) after the photocell turn it on. My two work just fine with a start time seemingly after it gets fairly dark, not just dusk. If you have a night lighting issue you could consider putting a small shield on the door where the photocell is located so it will only see daylight. I have one located about 4 ft below a light and it does not bother the unit when the light is turned on, no mod necessary. Good product at a good price.

I ony use the photocell but I know it has a option to have it come on with the photocell and stay on for a specific number of hours rather than turn off with the photocell also.

Yes, the photocell needs to be in a position where it can detect the ambient light.

The light has a photo cell that turns it off totally in daylight and only on when it detects motion at night. Mine never stays on all the time. My light did fail once manuf said water must have gotten inside but got it replaced under warranty. If yours is less than one yr old call them

No. It only has a simple on and off switch with two options for brightness.

This one has an on off and auto switch. It doesn't have a specific day/night function.

Yes, yes, and the photocell turns them "on" at dusk. You determine the length of time you want them on. They're great. Would recommend them, especially for the price.

This particular BirdCam does not take night time photos. There is a light-sensitive photo-cell on the camera that measures available light and puts the unit into something like a sleep mode (referred to as "NIGHT" mode with this model) to conserve the battery until the photo-cell detects enough light to resume taking pictures.
