I moved into a house with this light installed on the front porch. How do you adjust the always on function? Mine only comes on when there is motion.

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

take the fixture off like you are replacing a bulb and inside you will fine one or two switches, where you can change the timing and what you want to do. Hope this helps and good luck.

Congrats...you have inherited a great porch light. After dusk, flip the wall power switch to off, wait about 2-seconds, then flip the switch back on. The light is now in "manual" mode. Now, the light will remain full bright all night, but will return to AUTO mode after dawn. A better way would be to remove the glass dome and set the "DualBrite" switch to "Dusk To Dawn." In this mode, the light will stay lit all night, but in the dim setting until it senses motion. Then , it will automatically switch to full bright for 3-hrs, 6-hrs, or dusk to dawn. In this mode, you won't have to bother with the light. It will come on when it gets dark automatically, and stay on. Hope this helps. Congrats...you have inherited a great porch light.

With the circuit switch in the normal "on" mode, switch it "off" and, in less than a second, switch it back "on". That action sets the circuit into the "stay on" mode. To return to the auto mode, turn the switch "off" for at least 30 seconds, then turn it back "on".

The only way to override the automatic light-sensing "off" switch is to put tape over the sensor. It would stay on all the time then.

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.

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.

I did have that problem. However, there's an alternate method of turning on and off the light by twisting the front end. I twist the front end a little bit so the light is off which does not allow it to be turned on using button on the rear.

As said below. Read 7.14 of the booklet at the bottom of page 10 and the top of page 11, you just have to set the motion sensor to "off"

Mine lights or flashes when motion is detected. It does not stay on steady. This is a good replacement because unlike some others it works with any incandesant bulbs and it works great on a dimmer switch. With others, you cannot use a dimmer or energy efficient bulbs.

The light comes on and goes off after about 30 sec. If you stood still in front of the light and then moved as soon as the light went off it would come straight back on again for another 30 secs.. This would continue until there was no more movement

No it is dusk to dawn so it comes on if you move in front of it at dark. I have had mine installed on a porch for about 6 months now and the battery is still working great. Gives off just enough light but not overly bright.

Ours only come on when motion is detected and it is dark. They do not come on when it is daylight. This must be the default because we did not change any "setting".

I didn't hook mine to a motion sensor because it only last about 10hrs of run time. But using an motion sensor with a controlled outlet should work. This light came with a plug already installed.

I believe you have a defective light. I love mine. It only has on and off features.

This unit doesn't have a day/night function. It has on, off and auto. I have it in a dimly lit hallway and it works day and night. Whenever I walk in the hallway it comes on day and night. This one works whether there is light or not, it is a motion light.

The light can be used like a normal light or it can be an automatic motion activated light. One the side where you see the switch, there are 3 positions OFF-ON-Auto. OFF is OFF all the time. ON is ON all the time. AUTO is it will turn ON when it detects motion and then turn off by itself after a few seconds delay from the last detected motion. I hope that helps.

Its a very nice idea, but I think the only way would be installing a seperate motion senser and then tie it into the wires that power the light. Such that the lightswitch is always on, but the light only comes on via the motion sensor.

there is adjustment to how long this can stay on. It can shut off after a few minutes or stay on for hours. I keep tinkering with the adjustment, because they have stayed on all night. They can go off completely, and come on with movement. They can go down to a dimmer light so there is enough light to see on my porch, but not bother neighbors - and again go to bright with movement. Or just on for hours. But you do have to have the proper bulbs for this to do the dimmer and changes. If you use the wrong bulbs I believe they don't do the motion thing, but just stay on continuously.
