TURN OFF THIEVES: Summertime means vacation. But unfortunately, it can also mean an increase in burglaries when homeowners travel. Motion lighting can be a great solution, but the annoyance of outdated technology and ugly floodlights can turn some people off. Heath-Zenith has launched a line of decorative and stylish motion security lights with state-of-the-art Pulse technology. The technology can decipher the difference between human movement and that of animals as opposed to environmental changes, such as wind. By filtering out lesser movements, the technology ensures that lights activate only when there's a real threat. At the detection of movement, the light turns to full-bright status to shine on approaching guests or startle startle /star·tle/ (stahr´tl) 1. to make a quick involuntary movement as in alarm, surprise, or fright. 2. to become alarmed, surprised, or frightened. potential intruders. To save energy, the lights dim back to stand-by mode shortly after the motion stops. The suggested retail price for Heath Zenith security lights ranges from $31 for the 240-degree Bronze Shielded Wide Angle Motion Sensor Security Light to $99 for the 360-degree motion post. The motion post is available exclusively at Lowe's stores. All other items are available at Lowe's, Home Depot and Ace Hardware or by visiting www.heath-zenith.com.
