There is a lot to be said about not replacing batteries after you forget
to turn them off though.

I have a couple of battery-powered lights in spots like storage cabinets,
they have infrared sensors that turn them on automatically when I show up,
and they shut off after a minute if there is no more motion. But the
batteries are guaranteed to die on that occasion when you most need the
light, it's funny how it works that way. I think hardwired is the way to go
unless it's impractical.
