Can this light be set to blue, stay on blue and when power is applied will it turn on and start working ? I'm looking to use with a motion sensor

You can set it to blue but if I recall it will eventually cycle to other colors. It's not here with me atm so I can't double check.

When you first power on the light the multicolored light show is the first option that appears. I use the solid red function every night, and the next time I use the light I have to cycle through the various light shows until I get to the solid red one.

This motion sensor does not directly control the light. It sends a radio signal to an X10 controller which communicates with a X10 module, telling it to turn on or off. If that module is appropriate for use with a CFL or LED, it should work just fine. Unless you already have X10 modules though, this is probably not the right purchase for you.

I use it with a lamp with an 8 watt led bulb in my daughter's room. I have it linked to a motion sensor that brings it up to 15% when motion is detected and then fades out over 3 minutes once the motion sensor detects no motion for 2 minutes. It works great for this application. As I use an 8 watt led at 15% I think it would be safe to assume a 6 watt bulb would work. Hope this helps!

When I went through the various colors for backlighting, it started at the off position. I would imagine that if you set it at the off position, it will save battery power. I hope this helps.

No, but you can reduce the sensitivity of the motion sensor AND decrease the amount of time it stays bright when triggered. So, the way I have it set, the light comes on at dusk at a low intensity and will stay on continuously until dawn. If you walk directly in front of it, closer than about 5 feet or so, it goes to full brightness, then if the motion is not triggered again, it goes back to the low brightness in about 1 minute or less. When set in this mode, at no time does it completely turn off, unless the batteries are really run down. When you first receive it, the batteries could be really low (mine was) and I thought at first it was defective, until I reread the instructions, and understood how it's programmed to function. The motion sensor has priority, meaning that when the battery gets really low, the light will discontinue the low intensity dusk to dawn mode, and save what power is left to turn on bright when motion triggered..... So be sure to let it charge at least one day in the sun before you turn it to any setting other than off. (Still charges battery when turned to off). Since I have had it it has always remained on until dawn, even with some really cloudy and raining days decreasing its ability to charge. Now if it's motion sensor gets triggered too often, I can see the battery maybe getting rundown..... It this happens you can use another trick I have used before....simply take black electrical tape and tape up a portion of the motion sensor. Covered by black tape it will NOT sense motion.

I believe that you will need to adjust the timer. There are various settings that you can adjust to meet your lighting and security purposes. You may have the timer set in the test position. I would check here first, the switch is located on the bottom side of the sensor.

I have two --- one works great on motion sensor. The other has proven very difficult to get the settings right. I would not recommend unless you have a lot of patience.

Any motion will turn the light on. I am not sure how long it stays on, but it is for a few minutes. There is an on/off switch. The "on" switch turns on the motion sensor. I have these lights in several places and find them very useful in dark closets, cupboards and especially the one under the sink. I mounted that on the side wall there.

I have some self-contained motion sensing lights and one of them started strobing. I had to fiddle with the adjustments on the unit. It has sensitivity, shade/sun and a couple of other adjustments. If your motion activated light has adjustments like this try changing the settings. I think the light goes on then the sensor thinks it is daylight and turns the light off then it repeats. You may also have to put a shield between the light and the sensor.

If you want to leave the other two lights on all the time this will work fine. Obviously if you turnthe switch off the unit will not work. If you turn the switch off and back on again later the motionsensor lamp will turn on and stay on for about 10 minutes then turn off and turn on when it sensesmotion

The light sensor has a cover to adjust how much light enters the sensor. You should be able to turn the cover to closed which should keep the light on all the time and then your power switch would turn it on and off.

I've not had this problem. I've owned 2 of this product for 4+ years. As long as the product sees movement, the light will stay on. I have mine placed in 2 separate rooms. The lights will come on as soon as the door is open to either room. Make sure that NO MOTION is seen by the device and it will not turn on unless it is defective.

No, this is a motion sensing light meaning it turns on whenever it senses motion. It does not have any sensor related to if it is night or not. If you put it in a fixture that control whether it turned on if it was night or not it would likely work but the bulb itself is only motion sensor meaning it turns on with motion and turns off after around 60 seconds without motion.

The light will not stay on continously once the motino sensor is tripped, unless its malfunctioning or running low on battery power. I found it says on for 30 seconds, then turn off regardless if you are in front of the sensor moving around. It will then to take about a full second before it will come on again if you move around the sensor.

Yes, as a matter of fact it's great you can use it with the motion sensor or you can use the on-off button that allows you to use it two ways.By that i mean you can push the button and it comes on really bright or push it again and it goes to about half the brightness, push it again and it turns off. I love it and am sure you will too. Have a happy,healthy new year. CWJ

Just turns on with the motion sensor and turns off based on a setting you make on the rear of the unit.It also has a dawn to dusk setting. I have not tried that setting since I wanted the motion activation.
