Default Light sensors for condo/apartment stairwells

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I know in Europe in apartment/condo stairwells it's very popular to have
timers on the lights so that they turn on when there is motion and turn off
after 10 or so minutes.

As I recently bought a condo in a small building, the rest of the owners and
I would like to reduce our condo fee costs by implementing timers in the
public stairwell.

I checked out HomeDepot for something, but they didn't have anything that
applied. I don't know if this will entail changing out the light fixtures or
not but I'm open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance!



If HD doesn't have them (they surely DO), try a lighting supply or
Lowes. There are all kinds of light/motion detecting fixtures. My
guess is that whoever waited on you at HD didn't have a clue.

We have wall fixtures in our condo hallway with motion detectors and
adjustable "on time".

You can also put a timer on the circuit.
