Yes, you can. I have used the switch inside under the glass cover to turn on and off the light. You do have to remove the glass protector each time though to use the switch which is a bit of a pain.

Question

Would this work for an off the grid cabin?

The cabin is full south and currently has 3 propane lights.
I would like to use the solar as the primary light instead of the propane. Would one hanging light be enough to cook? To read? How long is the extension cord from the small solar panel? I do not understand the remote turn off. Is the turn off on the lamp? Could it be put on the cord if not on the lamp?

answer 2
I'm over 50 so i would say, 2 lights to cook by. you can see to cook yes with one, but i won't tell you that you would know if the food is done just by looking. i would also do the fork test.. lol reading a book? yes you can, but i would not say that it is enough lite for your eyes.. I only bought 1. I plan on buying more.. It Greatly surprised me the amount of light the 5 little bulbs do put out. I've been using mine for 5 months now, it still works like new.. I have bought other types of solar lights, so far this 1 is the best!

I had mine outdoors in a moderately protected spot. It developed some water problems in under 4 months. If you decide to use it out of doors where it will get rained on I suggest getting the extended warrenty.
