Can't you shut it off manually?
This.

Mine were delivered today. Yes, they can be turned off manually by holding either the up or down button for 3 seconds.
Also, the base that's included has a smaller diameter cross-bolt allowing it to be mounted on Weaver style bases. It also has 10 brightness settings.
I haven't mounted them yet but they look like a pretty nice red dot, especially for $100.
