Heath Zenith SL-5412-BZ-B 300-Watt Motion-Sensing Twin Security Light, Bronze Review


This review may be in vain as I tried the company's website and it is gone. I had a couple of hits on a search that say they are out of business. I took the time to post this since I am currently looking for another replacement light and I see Heath is for sale all over the place, so I don't know what is going on.

I have purchased from this company for years and had very good luck. At least until my most recent purchase of this model. The old Heath lights I have still work, they are fifteen years old.

It all began about four years ago when I bought what I though was a good product for my newly wired barn. I purchased two of them and at the time they were around thirty dollars each. I mounted them (not an easy job as they are 15' in the air under a soffit) and tested in "test" mode.

All was well the first two years except they failed to turn off during the winter months. I kept climbing the ladder and adjusting stuff, thinking it was my fault. Finally one unit quit completely. I called the factory and they agreed to send a replacement since the store had gone out of business. Not bad customer service there.

That new replacement worked for one year, actually less than that as I shut both of them down quite awhile ago due to the fact that they never shut down themselves.

Today I climbed up the ladder again and installed an old Heath light I had laying around. I tested it and it checked out fine. I need to purchase another light to replace the other defective unit but it sure won't be one of these junkers!
