Works fine, self triggers occasionally
By Schmaker
I've had this light installed on the side of my garage for about a year and a half now. It lights both mine & my neighbors walks that lead from the front to the back yard. The only problem I have is that since I have both the lights & the sensor pointed almost straight down to avoid lighting the neighbors deck it sometimes self triggers due to the lights being so close to the sensor. It seems to be worse on cool spring & fall nights. The three 100W bulbs are extremely bright & I'm looking at reducing to 50W bulbs which might help the self triggering also. The sensor detects movement of heat, not a motion detector, so bushes etc. blowing in the wind do not trigger it unless the bush is on fire ...:)

Nice, but only worked for ~5 weeks
By Anthony Forno
Short story: This light only worked for 5 weeks and now it will not shut off at all- day or night. I double checked and it is not on test setting, but the light never shuts off, even in the middle of the day.
Full story: I actually purchased this light at a local big-box store, but I had to write a review after reading others and experiencing the same thing! I purchased a house a couple years ago that is currently 8 years old. The house had a double headed spotlight at the corner where the driveway comes up to the house. The motion sensor to the light became very intermitent and only worked sometimes. I would walk the trash can down the driveway and the light would neveer come on, then I would turn around and return to the house and it would come on. I decided to replace the unit with a new one so I would have a reliable and more consistent working light. I chose & installed the SL-5798 triple head unit. Then I noticed that the light fixture I replaced was a Heath Zenith also. So it had only worked for 7-8 years before becomind defective and only working some of the time. The new unit worked well and I adjusted the angle and sensitivity so it would come on as desired. The light functioned properly for ~5 weeks until I noticed it not shutting off one night. I cycled the light thinking I had flipped the switch on, off and on to turn the light on manually. Even after leaving the light off for 5 min. and turning it back on once, the light stays on constantly. I tried adjusting the lights further from the sensor per the HZ website's suggestion. I tried setting the sensitivyt down, turning it to test and then back to soft on mode... nothing works! The light just stays on. So now I have to turn it on and off manually. I'm having trouble locating my receipt or I would return the light!
I would recommend you DO NOT BUY THIS LIGHT... or any Heath Zenight product. I have owned 2 now- one failed in < 8 years and the other failed in ~5 weeks!

still works after a year but need improvement
By Manny
i still have this product installed and it's been working for almost a year now. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros
- dual lighting mode dims after a preset amount of time when no motion is detected
- pretty bright and covers a wide area
Cons
- sensor detects all kinds of motion (it was basically on for hours when we had nights with strong winds , very annoying)
- the product consumes 300W of power during full lighting -not very energy efficient
- bulb fixture is fixed- will need special order bulbs to replace ( you just can't replace the bulbs with energy efficient flood light cfl)
My biggest gripe is the product consumes too much power, however it's really bright and covers a wide area.
update may 25, 2010
light just constantly on now sucking up lots of power plus one of the bulb is dead I don't think theres replacement for bulb and its really is getting annoying
