External Security/Safety Lights 💡

[nelsonic]

As a person living @home wanting to safely enter/exit the building at night,
I need automatic lights to light the doorway and stairs to ensure I don't trip/fall.

The additional benefit of having safety lights with PIR sensors is that any motion will trigger the lights which is a good deterrent for opportunistic thieves.

We need 5 of these. (one for each of the 4 external doors) and one for the Garage door.

@iteles is it worth doing additional research to find a cheaper unit or should we just buy
I tried searching for "luz sensor" on Leroy Merlin: https://www.leroymerlin.pt/Site/Home.aspx#q%3Dluz%2520sensor%26npp%3D96%26catl%3D1%26p%3D1
but nothing useful came up in the search results ... 🙄
(I feel this is more of a vocabulary fail, because I've seen the product in the store!)

Another option is to use Battery powered lights: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00DS1H81W

The manufacturer claims 1 Year of use on Alkaline batteries. Obviously we'd use rechargeable ones.
It would just mean that the "housekeeper" would need to keep an eye on them and replace the batteries periodically and means they have to be within easy reach to be replaced.
