Love the auto reset after power failure. My old ones did not reset and would stay on after power failure until manually reset.

I installed this light on my porch in 10 minutes, most of which was spent taking the nasty rusty screws of the old fitting! This is easy to install and works well. Lots of options for look, sensitivity and reset time - good buy - good value!!

I am on my third Heath Zenith Motion detector light for above our garage and now this one has failed like the other two. I would stay away from this company. My first one was halogen and you could not find the right replacement bulb. When it failed, I sent it back under warranty. I sent them a white one and they send back a brown one. The brown one lasted about a year. I switched to a flood light model, and it now failed after a couple of years.

Pros: The lamp's photoelectric sensor correctly determines dusk even under a roof or awning. The lamp's motion detection works well on distant and close moving objects. The multiple appearance configurations is appreciated.

Con: Now on my fourth unit, their motion detection system wears out approx. four years after purchase. They have all been under roofs.

Still worth the price and re-installation effort.

Product works great.. installed in minutes.. has different sensitivity settings to adjust as needed.. Have no complaints..

I originally bought the SL-4191 but I was extremely disappointed about the lack of sensor angle. My porch isn't that big so standing right below the lamp doesn't set off most sensors. When I saw this lamp I saw that it has a slanted sensor and thought it would probably work better at sensing things right below the lamp. I was right. Because the sensor is at the very bottom of the light (no physical obstruction by its own light case) combined with the fact that the sensor is slanted, the light was able to detect me walking up to my porch in a 4'x4' area at 7' high.

The build quality is great. Feels really solid. Installing was simply just 2 screws for the bracket and another 2 thumb screw to attach the lamp to the bracket. A cool feature is that you can attach/detach the tail for a different look.

At <$40, this lamp is a steal.

Installed last week. Worked for less than one week. I'm going to double check everything tomorrow and re-evaluate if necessary. Right now this product doesn't deserve the one star that I'm giving it. No work, no rating.
