is there a way to turn off the light-sensor (so it doesn't turn off at dawn)?

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, but if you put something over the sensor like electrical tape or something it would stay on

there is no switch on the actual unit. You could put piece of electrical tape on the sensor and that should do the trick (but it will always stay on).

It turns itself off during the day. No button to make it turn off. Mine stays on sometimes during the day depending on how shadowed it is in the room.

Yes the illumination can be turned off. If you don't want to be tempted to use it don't put the battery in

You can of course have this light fixture (and thus all the 3 lights in it) on a switch and turn it off or on at will. The dusk to dawn feature could be eliminated but based upon what I see, you would be better to get a Lithonia 3 light LED floodlight which did not have the dusk to dawn feature, but maybe a motion sensor to turn on when someone/thing came near. Contact Lithonia for the variances they have in their LED floodlights to know your options.

I guess the answer to that is no. You can set it to be on during the day or have the light sensor will keep it off in daylight. I don't think the motion sensor it will turn it off and on in daylight. I have mine set to be off in daylight and to come on for 5 minutes at night in response to motion. If you had reason to have it turn off and on in daylight, you would probably have to cover the light sensor.

In the instructions it tells you how to remove a peice of plastic that shields the sensor from turning on the light. Remove this thin film of plastic, keep out in the sun, and at night they come on

Yes, you can turn off the switch so that the deck light will not activate when it gets dark.

If I understand your question correctly, yes you can simply turn off the unit by using the remote. It does not have a light sensor so there is no "on at sunrise/off at dusk" feature.

make sure it faces the southwest sky and there are no objects blocking the solar panel.also if another source of light at night is close by, it will turn the light sensor switch off.:-)JM

You can turn it off using the FN key and the dim backlight option until it's off.

Mine did that at first. Best solution I've found is at night turn out all the lights, flash the sensor with a flash light and unplug the controls power. Plug the power back in, then turn the flash light off. That pretty much reset mine and works fine now.

The light stays on all night. It's just very dim. Then when it senses motion it brightens. I don't know if its possible to turn it completely off.

Yes, you can turn it off... But if the luminosity sensor consider that it's too dark the flash is going to shoot anyway.

There is NO MOTION SENSOR ON THIS FIXTURE. It is strictly a dusk to dawn unit. You could wire in a separate motion sensor to control the light. If the fixture "sees" daylight it will turn off. I don't know of a reason to have the light on unless it was "dark".

There is no switch to turn the light off, it will stay on unless you unplug it. That being said, there seems to be a sensor that will increase/decrease the intensity depending on how much lighting is present in the room. Perhaps in a sunlight room it will turn off... haven't tested this.

There is a mode where you can turn off the nightlight, but not the display light. I put ducked tape over it and now it is fine.

Yea its a common issue the sensor gets over active in windows 8 at low brightness you can turn off auto brightness under general settings in the windows 8 interface settings

It is a dusk till dawn, motion sensing light. So the light will only turn on from the motion sensor when it gets dark out. You can override the motion sensor to force the light on by turning it off for 1 second and then back on. To put it back into the motion sensing state, turn it off again for 1 second and back on.
