They come with a magnetic self adhesive disc so getting them down and putting back up is easy enough

Right. I like the idea of one low down, could put one at the top of the stairs.

For some reason,my photos are not accepted. Anyhow,here is a link https://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/ele ... -and-bulbs

Scroll nine rows down,and you’ll see the kind of thing I mean. Motion Activated Lights. Battery powered

Cheers. How long do the batteries last? I guess it depends, didn't you say you sometime use them instead of the regular light? I really hate going up step ladders these days, hard enough changing the smoke alarm batteries.

I upload photos I take on my phone to imgur, then post the image link in the . Other photos online I just put the image link in the same as that.

What I showed you is limited. There are other lights available if you search. The one I showed you is stuck on the top of a door frame.

Regarding photos… if it ain’t simple

Seriously, thanks for offering an alternative!

Yeah, found some ones I could stick on a wall near the top of the stairs, will no doubt get one.
Re photos, I notice what I wrote came out funny. I'm on mac so it might be different. If the photo is already online, I open it in a new tab. Then right click on it and select "copy image link" or copy the url in the bar at the top. Then select the image button at the top of the comment box. I say img twice in square brackets. You have to type = and then paste the link in the first one after = so it reads [ img=https...etc ] without spaces. Uploading a photo to imgur is dead easy too.

We have tried several motion sensing lights but I couldn't tell you where they came from as we've had them so long. There is one on the landing and one in the hall so we can climb the stairs safely in the dark (or even find our way to the kitchen from the living room). It is very dark here on nights withought a moon. Before I had my current clock, I needed a torch to find my way out of the bedroom in the middle of the night or Mr A would grumble that I knocked into the bed when trying to get round it.

Well the list would take to long to write but i am making a faraday box a larger size i have small ones but making my own larger size to take 2 mini laptops and drives and a few tech bits that will be needed to read all the ebooks i have stored , we have just got in a few more wind up lanterns the large 12 led size and i am working on more lighting ideas thanks to Yorkshire Andy lol , i have just found a stocker of hand gel got a few cases of that in and other stuff vitamins and so on and we have been upping our foods store we think we could feed a family of 4 for around about a year on fair to good meals , i am also working on water stocks as i suffer from a dehydration issue in the brain and drink lots of water so we always have arouhnd 100 packs of 4 2litre bottles in stock and we now need to sort the shelves move stuff hmm what else lol .
Oh forgot we just did another large lol farm food run getting in some comfort stuff for winter nights and also tinned meat and other stuff because i think this winter we are all going ot struggle and well if a neighbour runs short yup i know you can not feed the world but we try to not see anyone going hungry .

I have also been working on more cooking ways stoves and so on and heating ways to , yes i need paraffin but if it comes to heating one room it will be the kitchen and dinning room .

Wondering if I should buy one of these for Beeglie

Does it provide protection from a flying slipper or ball of socks off the clean washing pile when they jump up on the kitchen work tops too?

Steptoe is not alone. I am absolutely NOT interested in such stuff.
