Going ahead with motion sensor outdoor lighting seems a bright idea. There are however, a couple of points you should consider when buying motion sensor light.
The first thing that you should be clear on, while buying outdoor lights, is the intended purpose for which you are buying those. Generally you need such sensor lighting for the purpose of security and safety, but you certainly can have them for their illumination characteristics for your personal convenience. Statues and landscapes don’t move, so motion sensor lights serve no purpose, remember emphasis is on MOTION.
It might not be a good idea to use motion sensor floodlights if you live near a wooded area. Living in such a place would mean you might have a lot of animal visitors around. Under such a situation, the lights will keep turning on and off the whole night and you or your neighbors are not going to welcome that disturbance. Forget about wireless sensor switch there.
Motion lights turn on when people are around. Sensor lights need to be adjusted in such a manner that they could sense a motion from far away. Otherwise they might prove to be quite painful for you even, for they get turned on and off while you are close to or directly under them. Motion sensor outdoor lighting is ideal if you don’t want to use it for the purpose of highlighting anything outdoors.
You can keep safe with motion lighting while helping conserve and save the environment.
