Review on πŸ”¦ Heath/Zenith HZ-5316-BZ Deluxe Bronze Motion Sensor with DualBrite: Efficient Replacement by Andre Belitz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really excellent and very durable motion sensor

Actually this Heath/Zenith HZ-5316-BZ replaced my old Heath/Zenith HZ-5316 which was probably installed 14-16 years ago, maybe longer. Considering all the years of scorching sun on my old man, rain, cold, hail, wind and summer heat in Texas, she has finally reached old age. The weatherproof J-Box my old Heath/Zenith HZ-5316-BZ was attached to was gray and almost completely faded and cracked. I'm very, very glad it lasted so long and I was able to find the exact same model at Revain. Thank you Revan Unbelievable. The time to remove my old one and install the new one took less than 20 minutes. Three wires and two mounting screws in the junction box. The hardest thing to think about is safety on the stairs. The unit sits under the awning of my garage about 14 feet off the ground. The new device worked great right away. I have 5 fixtures at home powered by a Heath/Zenith HZ-5316-BZ with an on/off switch. A long time ago I had to count the wattage of these bulbs to get a maximum output of less than 500 watts. Today's LED floodlights, well I get more light at 500 watts max and only pennies a year to run now. I still had the original very simple instructions ready for this. The instructions are almost the same. Back then my old unit had a 10 year limited warranty. Today it has a 2-year limited warranty. I suspect we'll miss out on that two-year guarantee. The Heath/Zenith HZ-5316-BZ is a valuable product that is absolutely reliable.

Pros
  • Patented DualBrite lighting technology
