HeathCo JourneyMan Motion Sensing Security Light, model HD-9250We made the mistake of installing 3 of these HeathCo JourneyMan security motion sensor security lights, on the left, right, and back sides of the house.I am constantly replacing the back light, having replaced it at least 5 times.The box claims:
- "Built to last a lifetime"
- "aged, weather tested rubber gaskets", "seal internal components and controls from severe environmental conditions."
- "1.25 Mega Watt Surge Protection."
The back light is the one which is on the most.I rarely use the side lights which usually remain off.I am constantly having to return it to my "home" retailer and replace it.I am sick and tired of having to stand on a ladder and install a new one.It is not, BTW, an easy feat to hold the new light and connect the 3 wires to the outdoor box.
There are 2 sensors on these security lights:a motion detector and a light detector.The light detector prevents the light from turning on during the day thereby wasting electricity.If it's not the entire light failing, it's something else.I have replaced the HeathCo so many times it's making me manic.
All of these security lights are made in China and HeathCo is no exception.HeathCo's China plant needs more quality control and testing.2 days ago I replaced it because its light detector failed.The new one kept going on and off all night long in 2 minute intervals.There was NOTHING in front of it moving and since it has 2 - 90 watt floodlight bulbs, it was wasting a lot of electricity.
The only positive element here is it has a "Lifetime Warranty" so I was not forced to pay for a replacement... yet.Unless you really need an automatic light, I suggest sticking with a switched light.The HeathCo is the most expensive and supposedly highest quality light available.There's a 30% chance it will be defective right out of the box!Their Chinese manufacturer appears to be cutting corners and HeathCo needs to manage them better.Apparently HeathCo has no one watching the production lines in China.
