Intermatic ML300RTW Malibu 300-Watt Power Pack with Timer and Ground Shield Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this Malibu 12 volt transformer to start an outdoor low voltage lighting project. It works as it has been designed. I have it mounted INSIDE my garage on a panel where I have my electrical sub-panel and all my other timer type devices centrally located.
The caveats to report are: The timer on top is small and hard to read and is easily moved when messing with the the on/off tripper clips. The timer wheel is segmented into light and dark sections for night and day. The pointer to set the timer is really hard to see. The manual on/off switch is a round little pole that sits just outside the timer wheel. A little hokey. The tripper clips are plastic and really small and potentially could get dropped in and around the timer circle. You get two sets. The lid doesn't stay open when you're trying to set the timer so you have to have one hand holding the lid open the the other hand doing the setting. The unit itself mounts using two slots on the back. There was no template supplied for mounting. The electrical wire coming out of the unit for 110/120 volt hookup is hardwired and is about 24 inches long with a molded straight in plug. There is no way to attach this directly to an electrical box (outdoor or otherwise) via a sealed conduit without major surgery. The unit is capable of a photo electric hookup, but that is a separate purchase accessory.
I may or may not buy another one of these although the price was certainly right. I need another 300 watt supply, but it will have to be mounted outside. I just don't particularly care for the way Malibu instructs you as to how to mount their unit. Again, it does function for me. I've had other timer units by Intuit that were a little more user friendly.

Heath Zenith SL-4144-AZ-A New England Carriage Style 150-Degree Motion Sensing Decorative Security Light, Antique Bronze Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After spending several hours looking for a Lantern Style lamp with a motion sensor, I found out that the choices as very limited and most of the ones out there available are extremely expensive. After I found this lamp in Amazon at a very low price I was a little worried the product was not going to be of good quality but once I received it I was very pleased with it looks and quality (good materials and craftsmanship). This lamp is a great bargain and looks and works great. Easy to install.

Motion-activated lights are convenient and energy efficient, but they can be a little bulky and awkward to look at-in the driveway is fine, but you wouldn't want to put one on your porch. Unless it's one of Heath Zenith's porch lights, that is. These products give you the best of both worlds, combining motion-activation and traditional lantern design.
The SL-4144 is a four-sided New-England style lantern that includes a hidden motion-sensing device. This device will detect movement in a 150-degree radius up to a distance of 30 feet. You can set the light timer to one, five, or ten minutes, and the 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 antique bronze finish means it's going to look good for a while, too.
This model also features "Dual Brite" lighting, which means you can use it for low-level accent lighting in addition to the full-light effect you get with motion-activation. An included timer allows you to set low-light mode for three hours, six hours, or dusk to dawn (an automatic photocell deactivates the unit in daylight).
If you're looking to save a little money on outdoor lighting by installing a motion-detector, this is a great option that won't look out of place. Requires one medium-base bulb of up to 100 watts (not included).--Josh Dettweiler

American Fluor Corp 14' Rnd Barn/Yd Light Yl108-4 Lighting Security Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought 4 of these for my father for his garage. Not to mention that they were the best looking and cheapest around, I researched on the American Fluorescents website and decided these were the ones I wanted to get him. They went up with ease and look fantastic. They are really the only lights that can give your garage/shed/shop a nice vintage feel. I have also uploaded a photo of how they turned out.
