A normal PIR (passive infra red) switch works well for everyone.
Or a pressure switch under the door mat.
Or a photocell/beam across the door.
Or a lower light switch, although I have yet to find one I cant reach.
Or a pull cord one?

Or a day/night sensor - like a street light.
Or

Or I have a little remote control unit that works mine, and it has a dimmer
built in too... Ace when you are in bed.
Or you could combine all of these or none with a simple time switch that is
programmable.

But these are all already available?

I'm baffled, what are you going to design?
