Is there an option to turn off the motion detector and use as a regular light?

Yes. Turn switch off for 1 second and back on, and it'll stay on for the rest of the night (Manual mode). Daylight will reset it back to Auto mode. If you want to set it back to Auto mode, turn switch off for 1 minute and back on.

With switch on quickly switch it off and then back on. The light should stay on.

Yes there is. I am at work right now, but I know in the instruction booklet it tells you how to do this.

my porch light is connected to the switch inside my living room. When AM comes, I turn the switch in the living room off; in the evening, I flip the switch to turn the light on. Yes, there is an option to turn off the motion detector and use a regular light if your outside light is connected to a switch inside your house.

Yes and No. Yes, you can turn the light on and leave it on overnight. But no, it will turn itself off in the morning with when daylight comes. Maybe too smart for its own good, but good enough for me :-)

If you want to use a dusk to dawn light, you can. You may also switch the light off, and on from your inside switch.

Yes, manual ON (with switch). Sensor will turn lights OFF after no motion time out (adjustable).

Yes. You can turn the motion feature off and use the remote to turn the lights on and off. They will automatically turn off after either 1 or 4 hours.

It is not a motion detector light. Not sure how long the light will stay on, but I have had them on for at least four hours and they worked fine.

I believe the only way to disable the dimming function and motion sensor is to turn on the light, off for 1 second and then back on. This is common with motion sensors no days. Also, consider dimable LED lights, they'll save on energy and look just as good. We're using the phillips LED (roughly $10 each) The've already paid for themselves in savings.

During the day the light does not come on. A night it would not be able to capture images without the light. I hope that helps out with your question,but no there is not a way to deactivate the light.

No. The only way to do so is to use a toggle switch add on. If you don't want the light you can simply not install it as I did.

hi, i think the bottom button on the wall control enables the automatic motion detector. one's for light on/off and the other is for the detector. sorry, i don't remember which is which. if that doesn't work than theirs a problem in the unit. i'd contact genie

No, I don't think it can be turned off. There is a light which shows when the motion sensor is active.

Yes a motion sensor is just another form of a switch the light doesn't know what's telling it to come on and doesn't care. Good to go.

Of course, regardless of the no# light sockets we can always choose to use one bulb even when connected to one motion detector. This particular motion detector is bulky, however as long as there isn't any obstacle to prevent the detector from installation or twisting on you're good to go. On another note; When you turn the light switch off the detector will become deactivated, when the switch is turned back on the motion detector lighting will turn on; essentialy reseting the motion detector; as long as the light switch remains in the on position the motion detector will operate normally.

Check the manual for the motion detector. There were old ones where the electronic switches in the motion detector got, well, confused if they were feeding something other than an electrically simple incandescent.

You can set them to go dim dusk to dawn and bright when motion detected.Mine work well,good luck.

No, the only way to turn these lights off completely is at the light switch inside. The light will switch to 50% light after the adjusted amounted out time once it detects motion.

Yes, light comes on with no motion in closet and detection range/angle is not half what is shown on the chart. It is a piece of junk.

Yes .. very simple. Hook this up to a Normally Closed contact side on a relay. You will see it marked as NC. Basically the relay will keep what ever you want on during the day since it's normally closed. When the detector detects the lack of light, it will turn on the relay which will turn off whatever is wired to the NC terminal. It basically just reverse the functionality of the detector.

No. This light has a motion sensor . Once it detects motion it comes on and stays on for a short period of time once the motion ceases. I see no way to to turn it off with a remote.
