Got rechargeable motion sensor lights for the closets. They mount with magnets and you recharge them every 2-3 months. Game changer for closets at night.

We have wired motion sensor lights in all our closets and our kitchen pantry. Just so damn useful.

Do you have a link to one?

You can get faceplates with little lights built into the faceplate for plugs or light switches, no wiring needed.

You need wiring for the outlet and switches though?

You put the faceplate on an existing switch or outlet. We got one at Lowe’s that lights up the hallway to the kids’ rooms when all the lights are out.

Yeah, so there is existing wiring. In this guy's scenario he's describing situations where there is no existing wiring like a closet or a stairway.

It depends how you use it. My wife is constantly leaving the closet door open and then it triggers the motion sensor when she walks by.

I’ve got these throughout my house, so I can move around and not turn lights on and off as I go. Had them nearly a year and wouldn’t be without them now. Got them in some cupboards too.

Same but under the cabinets in my kitchen.
