Motion activated lights, indoors - love or hate?

[ChickensMightFly]

I am planning my new lighting for the hallway of our house which is quite long (bungalow). The electrician has said that if we hardwire multi-way switches it will be a lot of cable (expensive) but if we use motion sensor the wiring will be much simpler (cheaper).
Maybe there are practical advantages of living with them as well as the cost he was talking about...?
My only experience of motion sensor lights were in open plan offices (stand up and wave every twenty minutes if you are last to go home), spaces not used often (creepy warehouses where the light pool follows you round as you walk) and one friend who put them in her kitchen and complained as they never came on / stayed off when she wanted (maybe just bad planning).
Does anyone have thoughts on the matter to help me decide? TIA

Thanks so much for sharing, so glad I asked! I did wonder if anyone would even reply. 😆 But now I've gone from feeling change averse to fully confident. Thanks one and all

Ive just bought a load of usb rechargeable ones. I like them. Unfortunately I failed to ask DS before putting them in a dark corner of his bedroom and he hates them

Glad to have the heads up on the pitfalls too the though, should be able to take the best of the option now. 👌
