sensor light
Movement-triggered illumination
A sensor light is a light fixture that switches on automatically when it detects motion or changes in ambient light.
Most use infrared sensors to detect body heat from people or animals passing nearby.
Common at entryways, driveways, and security installations: The sensor light came on when I walked up the steps.
Also called a motion light.
