Can this light works all night long, not just when it catches some motion?

Yes it will work all night.the instructions will tell you how.however it is primarily a motion light not one that stays on constantly.

although it is motion sensored, it does work from dusk to dawn, i leave the light switch on all the time where it is connected.

Yes. It will not come on during the day when it senses motion, but the little red light on the sensor will blink.

When ambient light is low the unit lights dimly and stays lit dimly giving low illumination. Once activated by motion it becomes much brighter. This would of course conserve stored energy. I did not see anything in the manual that mentioned the ability to set the unit to provide light all night long without motion (keep in mind I'm operating off my memory as I no longer have the manual). I'll post again on the unit after its been in use for > 1 month to let you know what reliability is. It has operated for > 1 week without problems.

Any Motion will activate the light. You should get a light with batteries that are rechargeable outside the light. This one needs a couple hours of sunlight to be usable.

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.

No. If in automatic mode it will only come on if it detects motion. The only other modes are either full off or full on (but off during daylight hours). I love this light and have decided to replace my old lights with these. Maybe of interest: I have installed my light on a remote system so I can control it from anywhere in the house with the remote control. Hope this helps.

Yes, when motion turns it on. When at rest, it is dim. They work very well.

I don't believe so. However the lighting is not too bright and even when activated by motion, it doesn't stay on but a few minutes.

No. It will only trigger at dusk with movement. There is no setting to keep on from night until morning

No, it has just motion and sensitivity lights at night. It did mention that you can set it to stay all the time at night, but I couldn't get mine to do it.

Yes, I think there was a switch to set how long you want the light to stay on when motion is detected.

No. Under bright light or daylight, the lights will not come on when it senses motion.

This light does not react to motion. It has an ambient light sensor that prevents it from turning on when the sun is up, etc.To make it turn on under all conditions, simply cover the light sensor with some black electrical tape. The older versions of this light had a dark plug included for you to use, but LOA stopped including this in their packaging years ago.

This light works very well in very dark conditions...an unlit closet or as a motion detecting night light in a dark room. I do not think it will be suitable for the purposes you have in mind.

The light does not have a setting to come on after dark only, it needs motion. It has an adjustment for setting motion sensitivity low,med., & high which works very will.

I do not think the light was designed to be left on continuously. I have mine set for one minute on when the motion control activates it. I think this setting is adjustable. Even though it is powered by solar batteries, I would think that a couple of hours would be the max on time for a full charge. It was designed as a security light to come on for a short time when triggered. If you need continuous light, a hard-wired device is your best bet.
