What state do these come up in after a power loss? i.e. are the sockets powered by default or do they come up un-powered?

I jusT plugged the remote into my outlets and didn't worry about them. They are strictly "on or off". I have had them for about 18 months and will never be without them. NOT EVER. I dont recall a power outage. But believe me. I love knowing that after dark I can turn on the lights inside my house while I sit in the security of my car out in the street! If the lights inside my house don't come on, I dial 911 while i drive away.

I have the 5 unit pack with the remote; there is no on/off switch on the socket itself. When unit is on and the power is interrupted, it turns off. When the power is restored it is necessary to use the remote to turn the unit back on again.

I don't have the problem of power loss yet so I wouldn't know. I did try to manually shut power off and turn on from the main power panel and the sockets come up un-powered.

I have never had that situation.. But, the units work off regular 110V. outlets that are "hot". If the units are energized, the remote will work, weather from your car or inside your house.

What I have isn't what you have. The five pack I have doesn't have the on/off buttons on the sockets that the three pack you have. I have both and I wish I had looked a little closer at the packaging before I wasted my money on the five pack. But to answer your question, the sockets are powered by default after a power loss.

The ones we bought are 12v. They plug into a socket/fixture that is wired to 120v but I believe the fixture has a step-down transformer. They have worked well for us.

Anything that you plug in to a timer will get power when the timer turns it on. These will light up upon getting power. They do not have a built in timer. They do not soft power on.

The ones I bought were wired to a circuit and have a battery back up. I did not see any that you just plugged in to an outlet.

They should be powered through a keyed source. If so, when the vehicle is shut off they shut off. If the switch is on when you restart the vehicle they will come back on. I put them in my daughter's truck and, so far, she is very happy with them.

You're supposed to leave them plugged in, or at least remember to check their charge once a month or so, but you should try and charge it up. If its just low it can take a full day to power up. If it's dead, it would have set off a loud warning beep as it was going past the point of no return.

I have mine wired to a switch, so the power is off and they will stay on what ever the last thing or color i had them on when i flip the power back on. I use mine on my RV work and look great.

What wattage and type of bulbs? Sounds like the fixtures are being overloaded.

The current rating is what matters as you can use these at 115V as well as 12V. My application was 360W at 83V so I was running around 4.3Amps. We had no failures in multiple days (probably 20 hours worth or operation). This socket was being heated by the bulb in my application much higher that what you are planning so probably it will take 50W at 12V with no problem.

These are sockets for 12v, MR16 bulbs used in recessed lights. The sockets get worn over a period of time and do not make good contact with the bulb and the result is a good lamp not lighting up. Generally the bulbs are rated 50w

I noticed that too. I installed them and figured 50/50 chance - got them right on the first time. You can also install in a bucket to test with a voltmeter or some electrical device plugged into the socket to determine when power is there.

For me, I ain't have any power on/off issues on mine.You need to check if it has been misused unknowingly.Mine still remain ok.I have two of it, they are very ok

They are powered with an AC adapter. I plug mine right into the outlet on the fixture.

Unfortunately I'm unsure since the installer looked at the internals, not me. We have lost power a few times since and as far as I can tell the settings remained intact. Hope this helps. Good luck.

What seems to be happening? How do you have them configured? Provide more specific details and I can possibly assist.

I had never heard that. I have not had any power issues with them. I sent a set of these to a friend in WA to use when he travels. He said they are working just fine and have really increased his reception.
