Does the unit also dim off to simulate dusk?

I don't recall if Lighten-Up! has a model that includes a dusk-sim, but you might try one of the lights from Philips, such as the HF3471, HF3485, HF3510, HF3520, or HF3550. I don't have personal experience with any of them, but they seem to get pretty good reviews.

Unfortunately no, it's sunrise only. To my knowledge it does not, at any time, dim out/off. It just shuts off abruptly when the Full-On duration time has been reached or you intervene manually.

Yes, you can make it so that the colored lights are off. There is a small light indicating the unit is on, but it is small and on the back of the unit.

yes. there is a button on upper right corner to adjust brightness and one setting is off.

At our place, we simulate dusk by manually switching the lights off. Does that make us Luddites?

Yes. I can also be set to turn light off at 'dawn' and on at 'dusk' as a function of your latitude.

No. The dimming feature is strictly manual operation only. There is an on/off switch for the blue and white light and each has a knob to manually dim the light.

Yes, but there are two details. 1) the dimming will most likely be a stepping dim, not a smooth dim, and 2) when off the LED will still glow very dimly

I am not sure if it can be turned off, however, I have mine installed with a wall switch to have the option to turn it on and off when I so need to or leave it on if going away for a period of time then it will be using the dawn to dusk feature (sensor). Hope this helps!

Ours is in a dim hallway with no direct natural light, and it is off during the day. It only comes on at night when none of the bedroom lights are on and the hall is dark. It does exactly what we wanted it to do.

since this is most effective in a darkened room, if the room is too bright it is not visible or effective from outside the building. I do not have any problem with the lighting level when it turns itself on or off. You may want to try repositioning the one you have so the back of the unit is exposed to the light coming in from a window.

No. It's either on or off. The only option is to dim the light. First click is on and light is brightest. Second click the light dims and diffuser is on the same. Third click the unit turns off.

From, my experience, no. The sensor requires a lot of light to shut off. Mine was on all the time.

Sorry for the delayed response. No...the unit I purchased does not. I'm using it to turn lights on and off...so it wasn't something I looked for.

If you set it correctly, when it gets dark it will come on dimly then go bright at the time you select then go dim again when you designate that too. Neat!!

No. it does not have a dimmer function, just manual on/off and of course presets for auto. on/off.

Yes. By pressing the function key (Fn) and the space bar you can dim the lights or turn them off completely.

yes. there is a switch on the unit. i'm curious, tho, why would you want to limit the light?
