    Why do my Heath Zenith DUAL BRITE SL-5318 lights stay on continuously?
    • T
      Tyler SmithAug 2, 2025
      If your Heath Zenith Control Unit lights stay on continuously, it could be due to a few reasons: 1. A flood lamp might be too close to the sensor or pointed at objects causing heat to trigger it. Try repositioning the lamp. 2. The Control Unit could be facing a heat source like an air vent. Reposition the sensor and reduce the range. 3. The Light Control might be in Manual Mode. Switch it to Auto.

      byrdgaryAug 6, 2025
      If your Heath Zenith Control Unit lights come on for no apparent reason, the issue could be: * The Light Control sensing small animals or automobile traffic. Re-aim the sensor. * The range being set too high. Reduce the range. * The Dual Brite™ Timer being on. Check the Dual Brite™ Timer settings.

    What to do if Heath Zenith DUAL BRITE SL-5318 lights flash on and off?
    • R
      Rhonda MooreAug 11, 2025
      If the lights on your Heath Zenith Control Unit are flashing on and off, consider these possibilities: * Heat or light from the lamps may be turning the Light Control on and off. Reposition the lamps away from the sensor. * Heat being reflected from other objects may be affecting the sensor. Reposition the sensor. * The Light Control may be in Test mode and warming up. Turn Boost off. * Light may be leaking through the floodlamp reflectors. Replace the lamps with new high quality PAR 38 lamps or make sure the metal lamp protectors are installed.

    • B
      bdavisAug 15, 2025
      If your Heath Zenith Control Unit lights come on in daylight, it might be because: * The Light Control is installed in a relatively dark location. Relocate the Light Control. * The Light Control is in Test mode. Set the control switch to an ON-TIME position.

    What causes Heath Zenith Control Unit lights to flash once, then stay off in Manual Mode?
    • V
      Vanessa StewartAug 20, 2025
      If your Heath Zenith Control Unit lights flash once and then stay off in Manual Mode, it could be because the sensor is detecting its own lights. Try repositioning the lamps to keep the area below the sensor relatively dark.

    • M
      Micheal RomanAug 25, 2025
      If the lights on your Heath Zenith Control Unit turn off too late in Dusk-to-Dawn setting, it could be because the sensor is in a relatively dark location. Relocate the sensor, or use the 3 hr or 6 hr setting.
