Amazon.com Product Description
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 What's in the Box

This review specifically concerns the polished brass version of this lantern. I have two of these in polished brass. They are, or at least were, available in polished brass, pewter or black paint over brass.
My two lamps were purchased at a local big box hardware store in 1995 and have been continuously in operation ever since. The infrared sensor has a range of at least the 30 feet advertised - except - during mid summer when the ambient temperature is very near body temperature. The sensor relies on a hot body moving through its field of view and when the body is at or near ambient temperature, there is nothing to see and the lamp fails to light. Thankfully this situation does not happen often, especially at night - at least until this summer here in the East.
My two lamps and their electronics work great. The polished brass, not so much. Ever since the standards for release of VOC's during finishing were tightened, it seems impossible to get any finish on brass which actually lasts more than a few years. After too few years the clear finish fails and the brass tarnishes. At that point, the choices seem to be: replace for appearance; put up with poor looking lamp; or do what I do, strip, polish and respray with more clear lacquer. Somehow I suspect that the VOC's added with each refinish negate the improvements at the factory. At least after each refinish the lamp looks good as new, if only for a few more years.
The other reviewer had two lamps fail much too soon. Perhaps the components are now different and cheaper than they were 15 years ago, or perhaps he experiences more power spikes than I. Companies have been known to sacrifice quality in the name of cutting costs. The lamps are barely more expensive than they were 15 years ago so it would appear that manufacturing money is being saved somewhere. It seems to me the only two places are cheaper labor and / or cheaper parts.
As they say; "Your Milage May Vary." Good luck with yours if you choose these.
Please note that the pictures here on Amazon of both black and the pewter lamps look exactly like my old lamps in shape, size and profile. The Amazon picture of the brass lamp shows a slightly different profile - suggesting some manufacturing revisions.

I got two of these for my front yard. They worked nice for about 7 months, until one of them broke. It now stays on constantly, as long as the switch is on. It no longer shuts off by itself, and stays on even during day light.
