When your arms are loaded with groceries, laundry or such, with no
hand free for a light, the going can be rough. Today you'll learn how to
brighten the way when your hands aren't free to turn on a light. The
answer is motion-sensor lighting, and it is a perfect solution for areas
such as the laundry room, garage or the attic where you frequently enter
or leave with
hands too full to turn a light on or off. Motion-sensor units attached
to standard screw-in light-bulb sockets are sold in hardware stores and
home centers for about $20. Other options include motion-sensors that
replace standard toggle-type light switches. With any type, the light
will stay on as long as the unit senses motion. For more tips, visit our
