Reviews of Heath/Zenith SL-5407-BZ-B Replacement Motion Sensor, Bronze

Customer Ratings:

I bought this unit to replace a new Heath/Zenith model SH-5316 sensor, which was very bothersome, in that it would trigger the security light when it was windy, rainy, or leaves were rustling. Even with the sensitivity turned all the way down, it would still activate too easily.

So, I purchased this Desa SL-5407 and it works like a champ. Only activates the light when it's supposed to and has adequate range and angle coverage to do the job. In fact, I'm thinking about buying a second one for back-up in case these aren't offered in the future. The price is right, imho.

This was a replacement for a similar sensor that quit working after 15+ years. It was easy to install and calibrate and has worked quite well. Good product.

I give 5 stars, it's worked flawlessly for me I didn't even need to adjust it. I purchased it to control two garage lights that also light an outside staircase. I was able to put this control in a good location to make that happen.

Not sure why it won't work with LED lights. I does say incandescent lights in the instructions but not on the box. These days with so many CFL and LED lights out there, if they aren't making a unit compatible with every light type, they ought to say so very clearly in the promo and on the outside of the box!

Bought three of these to detect motion around the deck and pool area and activate several flood lights and wall sconce units simultaneously. The instructions say this has to be wired to a switched circuit, but I have no idea why. Worked fine coming right off a live circuit. Coverage is probably a little less than 180d but it worked well for me.

The instructions don't cover this... If you want to add multiple sensors to a single (or multiple lights) simply get some 14/3+G wire and wire it up like you would a 3 way switch (or get an electrician to do it). I love the idea that we've got such broad motion detection coverage from the three sensors and all the lighting works simultaneously. Little more complicated (and expensive) wiring job, but much better for me than having individual units that work independently.
