sensor lights
Detect-and-illuminate devices
Sensor lights are lights that turn on automatically when they detect motion, heat, or changes in ambient light.
They're common for outdoor security and convenience—illuminating driveways, porches, or pathways when someone approaches: The sensor lights clicked on as we walked up to the garage.
Indoor versions may activate when entering a room.
