Light comes on half bright for selected time after dusk
(Off, 3 hr., 6 hr., until dawn). Selecting OFF disables
this feature. The motion sensing features will continue
to work as described in this manual. If motion is sensed,
the light turns on full bright for the ON-TIME (1, 5, or 20
minutes) then returns to dim mode.

    Why won't my Heath Zenith Home Safety Product lights turn on?
    • J
      jgarzaJul 28, 2025
      There are several reasons why the lights might not be turning on. First, ensure that the light switch is turned on. Next, check if the light is loose or burned out, and replace or tighten it if necessary. Also, verify that the fuse hasn't blown or the circuit breaker hasn't been turned off, and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if needed. If it's daytime, the daylight turn-off feature might be active, so recheck after dark. If this is a new installation, check the circuit wiring. Finally, try re-aiming the sensor to cover the desired area.

    What to do if my Heath Zenith Home Safety Product lights stay on continuously?
    • D
      Dr. Stephanie HammondAug 2, 2025
      If the lights stay on continuously, it could be due to several factors. A bulb might be positioned too close to the sensor or pointed at nearby objects, causing heat to trigger the sensor; reposition the bulb away from the sensor or objects. Alternatively, the sensor might be pointed toward a heat source like an air vent; reposition the sensor and reduce the RANGE. Finally, ensure that the light control is not in Manual Mode; switch it to Auto.

    Why do my Heath Zenith Home Safety Product lights come on for no apparent reason?
    • T
      Tyler WatkinsAug 6, 2025
      If the lights are activating for no apparent reason, the light control might be sensing small animals or automobile traffic; try re-aiming the sensor. The RANGE setting might also be too high; reduce the RANGE. You can also try turning the DualBrite® Timer off.

    How to stop my Heath Zenith Home Safety Product lights from turning on during the day?
    • A
      Alejandro WongAug 10, 2025
      If your lights are coming on during the day, the light control may be installed in a relatively dark location; consider relocating the light control. Also, check if the light control is in TEST mode; if so, set the control switch to an ON-TIME position.

    Why are my Heath Zenith Home Safety Product lights flashing on and off?
    • S
      Stephen MccarthyAug 15, 2025
      The lights might be flashing on and off because heat or light from the bulbs may be turning the light control on and off; try repositioning the bulbs away from the sensor. Heat being reflected from other objects may also be affecting the sensor; reposition the sensor. If the light control is in the TEST mode and warming up, turn BOOST off.

    What causes my Heath Zenith Home Safety Product lights to turn off too late in Dusk-to-Dawn setting?
    • J
      Jessica PenaAug 18, 2025
      If the lights turn off too late in the Dusk-to-Dawn setting, it might be because the sensor is in a relatively dark location. Try relocating the sensor, or use the 3 hr or 6 hr setting.

    Brett BellAug 22, 2025
    Why do my Heath Zenith Home Safety Product lights flash once then stay off in Manual Mode?
    • M
      Maria JohnsonAug 23, 2025
      If the lights flash once and then stay off in Manual Mode, the sensor may be detecting its own lights. Reposition the bulbs to keep the area below the sensor relatively dark.
