security light

Intruder-deterring outdoor lamp

A security light is an outdoor lamp designed to deter intruders or illuminate dark areas for safety.

Most are motion-activated, switching on when someone approaches: The security light came on as I walked up the driveway.

They're common fixtures on garages, back doors, and commercial buildings.
