Hi Robert,

Thanks for asking! Yes, the lights on this model can be turned on and off using the rocker switch on the inside.

It is not designed to be the sole light source in a room. We highly recommend additional overhead lighting for ideal lighting conditions.

Please also note that this model should be hardwired and will not work with a dimmer switch.

If you have any more questions, feel free to post them here!

Thanks,

Innoci-USA Customer Service Team
