Cheap Heath Zenith SL-4144-AZ-A New England Carriage Style 150-Degree Motion Sensing Decorative Security Light, Antique Bronze Review
I needed 2 lights for both sides of my front entry and bought one first, just to see if it was all it's said to be. I got the second about a week later. I can't say its the sturdiest assembly I've ever seen, but then again how sturdy does a light like this need to be?
It works as advertised... I have them lit with 15 watt incandescents, on low they have a nice faint glow, barely enough to light my 30 foot long porch. When the motion sensor is activated, there's a nice amount of light to see your way, or to light up someone approaching. The motion sensor is very sensitive at the high setting, 40 feet +. Both were turned down to about mid-way, and they're now perfect for my installation.
I can't comment on long-term service as I've only had these about a month, but if you like the look, and want the function this light has (dual-bright), go for it. I've been satisfied so far.

Heath Zenith SL-4144-AZ-A New England Carriage Style 150-Degree Motion Sensing Decorative Security Light, Antique Bronze Specifications
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 lantern design.
The SL-4144 is a four-sided New-England style lantern that includes a hidden motion-sensing device. This device will detect movement in a 150-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 antique bronze finish 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).
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-base bulb of up to 100 watts (not included).--Josh Dettweiler
