Easy security lights - indoor and out

Thanks, everyone.
Yes, In normal times I am out and about a lot and have very frequent holidays.
I live alone in a small 2 bed modern end of terrace. I’m right at the end of a small inlet of three houses and next to a brick wall. There’s no street lighting there.
I’m not a techie type. I don’t have a phone line either.
I’ll have to explore outdoor solar lights. I suppose they have improvdd over the years. The ones I bought 7 years or so ago seemed rather wimpy.
What’s your take on burglar alarms?

Please also think of your neighbours and check the settings of your security lights. There is a house opposite me occupied by an elderly lady. Her light comes on every time a vehicle goes by. A house at the back in another road has a very powerful back garden light, which comes on frequently during the night and shines over the back of all our houses.

I've got a lamp attached to a smart plug. I can turn it off and on using my phone. It's really useful when we are out as I can turn it on and off randomly.
The security light we have on the corner of our house is powered by the mains. The others are either solar powered or battery operated.

I have a security camera trained on the drive so can speak to anyone who comes to the door without having to get up. Getting up is difficult for me as I'm disabled and it takes forever for me to get to the door. When I moved in I installed outdoor lights at the front, side and rear. I also have timers on lights that face the road. These days I'm home most of the time tbh due to disability so there's always lights on. I'm just glad I installed them when I was fit and able.

We fitted a " ring of steel" around my mums house by using Ring security cameras and lights at the back, side, front and on the door bell. Not only were they triggered by movement, I also got an alert on my phone and could speak/shout to whoever was there!

It proved very useful to get rid of door to door sellers ( scammers mainly) who were pestering her and as we also paid a small monthly subscription to Ring, I was able to record the activity. In one instance, I showed the police a recording of someone trying to get money from mum ( to get his wife's body out of a morgue!) and they used it to arrest him for fraud. They needed to have a clear voice recording to take action.

We have two solar powered security lights. I don’t know who made them and I can’t climb up to see!
But, one is placed on the garage and has quite a large solar panel to power it. I think DH looked at solar lights sold for boats. The other is at the front and was bought on line, but has many more Lumens than those bought in DIY stores.
Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Solar power lights are useful outside. Not sure about inside

Are you out a lot Stoker48?

The first security light I’d choose is one outside at the back that comes on if triggered.
