I gave up on motion lights several years ago, It seems that they will either sense a rabbit or a horse won't set them of with no happy medium. Now that LED's are affordable we had several in key places that are not even on switches, one on the shop by the back gate, one on the basement stairs way, and one in the shop. We use two chandelier bulbs on each side of the mirror in the bathroom and these are on 24/7, the flood light for our flag is LED and is also on 24/7 as well are several lamps on the back deck and stairs. Since the biggest single wattage draw is 7.5 watts for a 60W equivalent, I estimate it costs us about 8 to 10 dollars a months for the comfort of being able to walk around at night without the fear of stumbling or bumping into things. In the last 5 years we have only had one bulb failure and have just about replaced every other type of bulb in the entire house, even our reading lamps with LED's.
Two flood lights on a single base, up high in front, that come on at the slightest movement. They are wired in - no on/off switch, the electrician just showed me the outlet that has the power line. This morning I let the dogs out at 4am, no lights. I went out on the step, no lights. Went further out and walked back and forth in several areas which should have set them off. I can see a tiny red light up there — between the two bulbs - but the regular lights won't come on. Just put new bulbs in a few weeks ago. Checked the outlet and it's working fine. They are so sensitive it's been a bit of an irritation, but it's dark, dark, dark out there without them. I definitely want them back :)
