Hello everyone,
we would like to install two orientation lights with motion sensors in the hallway that automatically turn on when, for example, going to the bathroom at night.
Ideally, these could be installed flush-mounted in wall boxes, so that when turned off, they look similar to a light switch or power outlet.
Do such products even exist? If so, could you recommend a suitable type? The switch system we use is Jung Series CD.
Unfortunately, I only know devices that are either battery-powered or need to be plugged into a socket. In my opinion, these look somewhat unattractive.

Try searching for "stair lights." There are many options available since you are not the only one with this requirement.

There are versions that are completely flush with the outlet. This looks very good.

There are plenty of options. Staircase or orientation lights.
In my case, they turn on at sunset and off at sunrise (Shelly controlled). I didn’t like motion detection in the hallway.

There are sockets with integrated night light LEDs. They are dusk-controlled. The socket remains fully usable.

One of the best upgrades.

I would also recommend using twilight sensors, not only in the hallway but also in the bathroom. That way, you don’t need to turn on any lights at all, which is very convenient at night.

We also tried motion sensors once. However, they don’t always activate as desired, so you might walk towards them in the dark. When you’re on the toilet, the lights sometimes turn off again due to the timer. Not ideal. And compared to always-on LEDs, they don’t really save much electricity.

We retrofitted these (plug-in lamps) since we have suitably placed outlets. The brightness can be adjusted individually. They cost just a few dollars each.
