Can the back-lit display be set to stay on? I'm wondering if I can put this switch in a location where it would double as a night light?

Yes. It stays on at night. Whether it will satisfy as a night light depends on how bright a light you need.

I do not believe so but in any case I do not think the back light is bright enough to use as a night light. It is a light switch so it is high off the floor which may be why. Its display is kind of like one of those back lit watches bright enough for you to see the display but not much else. I found the Manual by doing a web search before purchasing. You can try that if you are still curious.

I would say install it with the switch in the "on" position, then. Once you set the timer to turn the switch "off" the moving track should be able to force the on/off toggle switch to "off" and all should be fine.

The display has a white back-light that works and looks great, but only stays on for about 30 seconds after the last button push. If you find a way to keep the back-light on, let me know. The instructions don't say anything about being able to program or change the back-lit feature.

The constant blue glow definitely keeps me awake, unless I turn the display to the wall AND push it into the drapes to block all the light. This is annoying because then it's hard to set the controls, which have to be re-set every time you turn it on.

Yes, light switch can stay on. Bulb comes on at dusk and turns off at dawn.

No..the display will be on the screen all the time.....it will become brighter when the unit is turned on.....

Yes, leave the light switch in the on position. No need to ever turn it off.

Yes, unfortunately it only stays on as long as you are continuously pressing the switch. However, I am overall satisfied with the light

You cannot disable the display. You can only control the brightness which will still show the time. It can get really dim, but I'm not sure if that would be dark enough for you.

If you don't mind that the back light will not be constantly on, you can run this thermostat off of batteries.If you have the wire providing power to the thermostat, you can set the back light to stay on which is very nice at night. The batteries at this point provide backup, but then if there is no power, the fan in the house for the HVAC system wouldn't be working either. It's just there in that case to hold settings including the time and date.

Yes, you can get it to display the time constantly simply by holding in the "Menu" button (top row, far right button) from any screen.Yes, you can actually use it as a type of clock radio, by having it play music at a set time.The screen backlight is adjustable for duration, but only up to 30 seconds maximum.I don't see why you would want it to stay on constantly, though, because I'm pretty sure that you'd deplete the battery completely over a normal eight hour night's sleep, making the alarm function unusable.You can get the screen backlight to come on simply by touching and quickly releasing any button if you need to see the time, though.

There is switch at the back of speaker and normally I switch off in night .. There is LED light in front and will glow if you will keep it on..

There is a switch on the back with 4 positions: on, off, dusk plus 4 hours & dusk plus 7 hours. I can only assume you could use a wall switch timer with the on position as long as it is dark.

I don't think that light can be turned off. You can cover it with burp cloth or other to dim it or black it out. We do that for the nightlight so we have light but not too much.

Yes you can. There is a switch on the back that gives you different settings for the light, on of which is "off".

There's a "dusk to dawn" mode that will leave it on all night. "Test" mode will turn it on all the time regardless of ambient light levels.

Hmm, I wouldn't suggest using it as a nightlight. As with anything, it'll burn out eventually, and leaving it on all the time will only wear it out. Also, the glass is extremely thin, making the thing fragile. And finally, when it's on, it's generating electrical current. This current also creates noise, which might be disruptive to some people's sleep (especially younger kids). I recommend keeping it off when it's not being used. At the very least, it'll last longer.
