As well as being installed on the exterior of your home a battery operated home security light can be used in an indoor area such as a dark closet, stairwell, loft or cellar. The LED's used are superbright and they will last for thousands of hours without needing to be replaced making these lights very cost effective. Below we have selected two of the best ones for you to consider as.

SE Wireless 10 LED Motion Sensor Light

This LED powered light makes use of 10 superbright LED's which will run for around 100,000 hours without problems. The SE wireless security light can be easily installed almost anywhere with its easy mounting bracket and the 3 AA batteries will power it for around three months.

The LED lights are activated when motion is detected, but sometimes these products can register false alarms. To combat this problem this unit not only uses motion to activate, it also detects heat. It does this using the onboard infrared sensor. You can have the unit off during the day with the daylight-off function and you can also switch the unit to always on which can be great during a power failure. This SE Wireless Motion Sensor Light - 10 Super-Bright LED is available online for less than $10.

Maxxima 18 LED Occupancy Sensor Light

This Maxxima product is very bright, with 18 LED lamps it produces an output of 69 lumens. It would be perfect for outdoor use and would light your driveway or patio very well at night. You can install this product really easily as the removable stand is magnetic so you do not even need to screw it down if you do not wish to. This means it is also very simple for you to move the unit to another location if needed.

This heavy duty product is powered by 4 AA batteries and can be used in an always on mode or with the motion sensor. The Maxxima is weather resistant, but not waterproof and so it should not be placed directly in an exposed exterior location, but rather under an overhang or in another sheltered spot. You can buy a Maxxima 18 LED Occupancy Sensor Light for less than $40.

When you are thinking of installing some safety lighting you should have a quick review of the location you need to light and exactly how bright you need the LED Motion Sensor Light to be. If you want an indoor unit or less powerful then the SE Wireless is fine, but if you need something very bright for the outdoors go for the second choice, the Maxxima product.
