Heath Zenith SL-4192-BK Six-Sided Die-Cast Aluminum Lantern, Black with Beveled Glass

Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Motion-activated lights are convenient and energy efficient, but they can be a little bulky and awkward to look at-in the driveway is fine, but you wouldn't want to put one on your porch. Unless it's one of Heath Zenith's porch lights, that is. These products give you the best of both worlds, combining motion-activation and traditional outdoor-light design.

The SL-4192 is a six-sided wall-mount lantern that includes a hidden motion-sensing device that detects movement in a 180-degree radius up to a distance of 30 feet. You can set the light timer to one, five, or ten minutes, and the sensor itself may be adjusted to give you more or less sensitivity (so it doesn't light up every time a car drives by). The weather-resistant aluminum construction means it's going to look good for a while, too.

This model also features "Dual Brite" lighting, which means you can use it for low-level accent lighting in addition to the full-light effect you get with motion-activation. An included timer allows you to set low-light mode for three hours, six hours, or dusk to dawn (an automatic photocell deactivates the unit in daylight). You can also turn the light on and off at will via the manual override that mounts to an existing indoor switch.

If you're looking to save a little money on outdoor lighting by installing a motion-detector, this is a great option that won't look out of place. Requires one medium-based bulb of up to 100 watts (not included). --Josh Dettweiler

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't work with CFL bulbs, February 11, 2009

This review is from: Heath Zenith SL-4192-BK Six-Sided Die-Cast Aluminum Lantern, Black with Beveled Glass (Tools & Home Improvement)

We have 5 of these lights on our house that were installed 4 years ago when the house was built. Three on outside of garage that faces Southwest in direct sunlight, began giving problems after about 2 years. The dark tinted plastic light sensor cover located on the face, dry rotted and broke apart after about 2 years and with that the problems started, wont shut off during daylight, and occasionally, will not come on after dusk. They have a 5 year warranty on them though so I will try to have them replaced. Motion sensor works well though, goes from a very low power, low light, to high, full power when sensing movement. It's a great feature when coming up the driveway at night. One problem with it though, the high/low dimming will not work with CFL power saver bulbs, a real consideration in todays need to conserve energy. The fixtures look good adding a nice touch of class to the exterior of the house.

this light come with many function and chamfered glass make it look very nice, easy to install. the two screw for changing the light bulb is on top let hope water doesn't go in and ruin it. only complain is the sensitivity adjustment is in the back of the mounting area so once it mount secure into the area you can't adjust this, must adjust this before install is a big no no. all other setting is in the bottom of the mounting area easily adjust when finish installed.

edit after 1-2 years of owning this product.
i have issue with the motion sensor on both light, auto on/off suck doesn't work anymore and i can't use this with fluorescent bulbs. i end up open the thing and completely remove the motion sensor module in the back of the light. now it just on or off at the switch.

i change from great lantern to OK latern and from 4stars to 3stars now.
there are plenty of better light out there keep on searching, i don't recommend this item.
