We have motion detector lights where the cars are parked and up to the door.
I like them except little things make them turn on like racoons or skunks! or cats or who knows what. Middle of the night, lights come on and I can't see what's out there. We had to make sure the lights were not shining in anyone's bedroom or at the neighbors. They are quite bright and stay on a while.
One place I worked had them in the basement hallway where my office was. I appreciated that so much! I'd go down the elevator in the dark, alone, and the elevator doors would open and the lights would come on in the hallway leading to the office --- so that I wasn't fumbling for light switches in dark halls. And when I opened the office door to leave, the lights would come on again and stay on until I went up the elevator.
I also like those rope lights you can mount along the floor or a pathway outside. They aren't obnoxious and just enough light so you can see steps and things.
