3.0 out of 5 stars Not for electronic or magnetic ballasts, September 13, 2009

By	S. Morris - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Heath Zenith SL-6107-WH Motion Activated Wall Switch (Tools & Hardware)

The manual says "do not use with electronic or magnetic ballasts". My installation location has 48-inch fluorescent tubes. The lights flickered horribly and never turned on to full brightness using motion control feature. I believe product works with CFL and motion sensitivity is excellent. However, it will not work for me.

It works great. I wanted this for a while for our kitchen as it has no natural light coming in. We are always walking in or out with our hands full and I sometimes spill my drink trying to turn off the lights as I leave. Then after having our first child I was finally sold on getting one as my wife is always carrying the baby around.
As mentioned before it is a three way switch but I just used it as a single. Easy to setup the, the part that goes into the wall is slightly deeper than a normal switch but was also not as tall.
It has two great features:
Someone mentions that it doesn't have a choice of times for the lights to turn back on, not sure why they say that but this does have multiple time settings. You have 5s, 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m. Now I wish there were a few more time interval options like maybe 30 seconds, and a 2 minute one, but that is really not that big of an issue.
This also lets you adjust the photo sensitivity, so if your room has enough natural light during the day and you don't want this to turn on when the room already has enough light you can adjust that as well. I didn't try this as again my kitchen gets no natural light.
Both of these setting are under a small cover that is just above the switch (it has the "on", "off", "auto" positions written on it), you use a small screw driver to open the panel and then turn to the desired settings.
I have this connected to six lights, two are florescent lights. Have been using it for about a month now, hopefully it will last for a while, but considering the price and features it is a really good deal.

4.0 out of 5 stars This thing works, July 18, 2009

When you want to run a bath fan or several lights, you can't just buy the Leviton thing from Home Depot. This Heath/Zenith is what you need. The Leviton has a very low capacity, it's designed for one spiral light bulb. This H/Z will run a 1/8-horsepower fan, or a chain of lights.

What Amazon sent me was actually a three-way version of this product, had an extra wire coming out, so you can use this switch for 3-way applications. I didn't ask for that, but you can wire the three-way version as if it were a two-way, so no big deal.
