Is there a setting for this light to automatically come on by itself when it gets dark or at dusk?

No. It has to be manually turned on and off. It will probably run out of power and cut itself off and come back on if it were charged back up.

I have mine on a timer, not dusk to dawn, so I really can't comment on that. My setting is on AUTO.

Light goes on when you push a button, and turns off shortly thereafter by itself.

I believe there is a setting for always on. But if you put it on a switch, it may revert to the auto setting when you turn it off. That would mean it would not come on until the light sensor decides it is dark enough. That may not be a big deal if you only plan to switch it on when it is dark and you need the light.

There is a button. On, off and night. It can not be individually set on timers for day and night light.

Yes the light is on a timer, I'm not sure how long but it seems like about 10-15 minutes. But it will turn off by itself.

Yes. The light is a separate button. We run ours at night with the light off. Love it!!

Funny you should ask about "always on". I bought and installed two of these. One is on all the time dawn to dusk no matter how I have it set. The works sometimes and others it is also on dawn to dusk. I do NOT recommend these lights.

No. You can purchase a separate sensor that will turn it on and off. I did this with a 10 watt light and it lights one end of my house quite well.

Hi Rod, this light is on automatic all the time. You can turn it on and off with the remote at will, but when you turn it on, it will stay on for only as long as you set it for when you first instaled it (see instructions). It doesn't just stay on AND it won't just stay off. Unless I missed something in the instructions. No pause mode. There is a switch on the light itself to turn it completely OFF--but I would need a ladder to do that.

I'm not really sure. All I know is that when mine gets into the dark the light automatically comes on and when it's light in the room it goes off. I'm sorry for not being able to help you. You might go to a store that sells new ones that used to sell the one like you had, such as radical and maybe they could fix or recomend someone.

If you mean, does it come on at dusk and go off a dawn, no. This is a motion sensor light that only works in the dark. Also note, I have other motion lights (120v and much brighter) on my garage. When they are on, this light won't come on because it too light around my front door.

Yes, there is a button to turn it on and a separate one for the light. You can leave it off if you choose too.

NO it does NOT come on at dusk, it has a switch on the side that lets you have it on a low light or bright light setting and you just pull the sting to turn it on any time you need light. I leave mine on the bright setting and have it in the ceiling of my storage room (always dark). You just pull the string to turn it on!

Yes, it automatically turns itself on and off. I have been very pleased with this unit.

They can not be set to come on at night automatically, I turn ours on at dusk and off at daylight.

No. This light represents a good value for the money. I wouldn't want it to turn on by itself.
