I second this recommendation for Heath: we've got one outside on the
garage facing north that doesn't get direct sun, and it's pretty old.
It must be at least 11 years old and works just great, very responsive
to motion.

I am experimenting with a sunvisor over my south facing detectorrs
that seems tio extend the life, I glued a PVC strip cut off of some
old verticle blinds about 3" long over the head to shade it.

Ok. I'm gonna go out and see if I can find one of those Heath-Zeneth by
Granger or a Rab brand. They're kind of expensive but hopefully they won't
turn on when I turn off other switches in my house!

Thanks.

Hmmm,
I have an El Cheapo in my garage which is ~14 years old. It has
adjustment for sensitivity, time delay to go off. I screwed in two
LED lamps. This thing will last LONG time. Only thing I hate about this
thing is it comes on and stays on if power fail. occurs, I have to turn
the breaker feeding it off/on to reset it.

If you have electrical problems that cause "dips" in the line you will
get false trips ... on any detector.
