Switch to LEDs and who cares if they are left on.

Is there a way to add or convert to an occupancy sensor? We have a couple rooms where we've added this. The light automatically comes on when I enter and shuts off after a specified number of minutes when there is no one moving in the room.

One is in the laundry room where the pets are fed. Makes life h*ll on the daschund!

Onthefence, love your idea motion light sensors ;0).

That sounds great, I am going to look into that kind of sensor, is it something a pro would have to install?

Nope ;-) No pro - husband installed ours and I RARELY encourage him to do anything with electrical. It's a matter of getting the right switch at the big box store. The timer has a range of time it will stay on after it senses no more activity. You can go as low as a minute and I think the max for ours is 15 minutes.
