Converts existing lighting to a motion-sensing security light (view larger).

Add another layer of safety, convenience, and security outside your home with this motion-sensing light-fixture adapter from Heath Zenith (model SL-5210-GR-B), which can be used to convert existing outdoor lighting fixtures to a motion-activated security light. The SL-5210-GR-B features 110-degree motion detection at up to 60 feet, and it's compatible with a maximum electrical load of 500 watts (incandescent light bulb).

Studies show that light is the #1 deterrent to crime, and Heath Zenith's intelligent motion lighting fixtures help give the appearance of a startled homeowner turning on the lights to investigate what's going on outside. They also provide convenient illumination when you need it most, whether you're working outside at night or needing to see the steps more clearly to avoid a fall.

Lights are activated when motion is detected, so there's no need to waste electricity by leaving the lights on all night. You can choose between three auto modes — 1, 5, or 10 minutes of illumination after motion triggers the light. However, when constant light is needed, this motion-activated light has a manual override mode that allows it to function as switch-controlled light for constant on, dusk-to-dawn lighting. (If you want to use the manual override, the control must be wired through a wall switch.)

Heath Zenith uses superior pulse-count motion detection technology, which prevents false triggering by reading heat and movement in pulses as opposed to single occurrences. As a result, only substantial motion is detected, such as humans and animals.
