laundry room lights
I have a duplex that I am getting ready for rental.
Each unit has its own laundry room, each laundry room has its own door, entrance lock, and inside is that unit's own washer, dryer, a utility sink, hot water heater and storage cabinets.
Each room is about 66" by 60" and has an old fashion chain pulling light, just a bare bulb.
I would like to switch these out but do not feel like doing the work of running a switch to the space by the door so I am thinking of a motion sensor light.
But most motion sensor lights are outdoor security lights. They are not down lights and often are covering more distance than I need and 150w halogen or mercury vapor is an overkill.
I also don't like battery operated LESs, I have a power source.
I know they sell those socket extension with motion deyecyion for about $20, is this my solution?
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

When I rehabbed the laundry/mud room I installed a ceiling light with a motion sensor built into the fixture. HD had them on sale & it sure avoids tripping over whatever is on the floor before you get to the switch.
