Hello ardata.... Since you already have it set to low sensitivity your next step is to turn the sensor so that it points more downward or more away from the tree. Joe
Sounds like a problem I had recently where the sensor was detecting it's own light and shutting off thinking it was daylight. I repointed the lights a bit and it resumed working normally.
The problem is described on page 4 of the manual: http://heath-zenith.hcents.com/data/manuals/595-5109-13.pdf
I am in the middle of a discussion with Heath/Zenith over a closely related and perhaps identical issue. I purchased their 5718 model from Home Depot and based on the fact that their brochure stated that "CFL bulbs are only usable on 270 degree units." I purchased the model 5718 unit (270 degree) and used CFL bulbs. It experienced the same problem others noted.
The technician at Heath/Zenith told me that only DIMMABLE CFL bulbs would work with this unit (even if the DualBrite feature is turned off). Standard CFL bulbs will not work.
Their brochure does not make that clear. Perhaps that is the answer to others' problems.
