Home
Plug in Night lights are a great idea. Especially if you have kids. I have one in the bathroom and in the hallway so when my children need to use the toilet they have just enough light to guide them to and from safely.
Security lights and sensors around the home are a great idea. There is nothing better when you arrive in your car that the lights automatically light up your way to the door and when you get inside.
The other great thing about them is if you have any undesirables around. It lights up the area they are trespassing into. They like nothing more than to have attention to what they are doing.
Sensors placed in areas such as your inside entrance or your hallway are such a good idea. What it does is automatically turns the light on when you come in, with out the need to turn on a switch. Its great if you have your hands full carrying in the shopping.
It works just as well in the hallway. You walk in and the light turns on. You then enter a room and the light then shuts itself off again. No having to go all the way back down the hall to turn the light off.
