A motion-activated porch light sounds like a good idea, but the awkward and bulky appearance of most motion-sensing arrays have made this an uninviting option for most homeowners. However, Heath Zenith's coach-style lantern allows you to take advantage of the convenience and energy efficiency of a motion-activated outdoor light without sacrificing aesthetics.
This unit detects motion in a 150-degree radius with a range of up to 30 feet. You can set the light timer to one, five, or ten minutes, and the motion sensor itself may be adjusted to give you more or less sensitivity (so it doesn't light up every time a car drives by). The weather-resistant finish means it's going to look good for a while, too.
If you're looking to save a little money on outdoor lighting by installing a motion-detector, this is a great option that actually looks good. Requires one incandescent bulb of up to 100 watts (not included).--Josh Dettweiler
