Is it best to install security lights on their own switch, or not?

I am having security lights- with a motion detector that trips the light for 20 seconds- installed on the outside of my home. Should I get the electrician to install them on a switch that I can turn on and off? Is there any reason I wouldn’t put them on a switch, (it does cost more to wire that way). I just don’t want to have to get it done later if it is best for them to be on a switch.

What does the security light in my 2004 monte carlo mean?

My husband and I got a 2004 monte carlo back in January. The car came with no owners manual so now that the security light comes on every now and again, I have no idea what it indicates. I have tried looking on here to find the manual but have been very unsuccessful and not even sure of where to buy one at. So any information anyone can give me would be a big help. Thank you in advance!

Does a security light coming on have anything to do with a car not starting?

I noticed a security light coming in on my dashboard the other day. After about two days my car wouldn’t start. I changed the battery and put on a new one. The car still don’t start at all. No engine sound either. (2003 Oldsmobile Alero) I think it is the starter.
It didn’t make a sound. It didn’t even click. The lights came on the dash. No engine sound at all.

Why is the security light on my Camaro coming on all of the sudden?

I’ve had a ‘97 Camaro for a few months and all of the sudden the security light is coming on when I try to start it disabling the starter. I’ve been using the same key the whole time. I have had no problems with this car until now. I have to wait 3 minutes and then it will start. The key is in good shape. Not dirty or wet. Is there an underlying issue I should check out? Thanks.

Outdoor security lighting?

I recently moved into a house that has no outside light in the back of the house. It is VERY dark to pull into the driveway at night. There is an outlet on the outside of the house. Does anyone know where I could buy sometype of motion detector light that I can just plug into the outlet? I can’t afford to have an electrician come and run wiring to install a regular lighting fixture…
Roadrunner-You’re awesome! I KNEW something like this had to exist! Thanks, I just ordered one!

What is the best type of outdoor security lighting for a home.?

We live close to a major road that gets quite a bit of foot traffic. Now we keep our property dark at night and have a motion detecting flood light. We’ve been told that the exterior should be illuminated. My concern is that if the house is lit up at night…things like patio furnature, bikes and skate boards will be visible…and therefore more of a target.

Thanks in advance for your help…Rob
