Yes, as I said, timers and motion sensors is
another way to go. I have done that in other
areas. If I'm working under the car one evening,
I really don't want the light to go out. Then
I'd have to crawl out in the dark and flap my
arms like a bird to trip the sensor. I don't
think that would be best for this location.
