Should I turn off lighthouses after I'm done playing?

[Ryan Dorkoski]

They don't seem to 'sleep'. Should I unplug or push the off switch, or what?

They should last a few years even if left on most of the time. However, I like to turn them off when I'm not using it.

Do you unplug them, or how do you turn them off? Isn't there an 'off' button on the back?

Is pulling the power plug the way you turn off the headset too?

i use a switch to turn them on and off.

Thank you. What about the headset?

Mine sleep most of the time (only green dot, no channel id, etc).. that said.. I unplug both my lighthouses and even my headset connector box. Even when it sleeps I still do it.. since it makes me feel like a scientist awakening Frankenstein when I plug them in, especially in front of my friends, etc.. I enjoy making a big show of it (or try to)...lol.

By 'sleeping' - mine have the green dot and show the channel. I'm not sure how else to get them to sleep.

Thanks for all the advice. I appreciate it.

I leave everything else alone. The steam vr turns or puts the light house to sleep. prior to these updates, lighthouse would go to sleep on their own. Not sure sure now but I disabled this option in my software. The headset, i leave it plugged in and the screen is usually off.

Is the green light still on on the side of the headset? It still felt warm like that (no screen on inside the headset).
