Thanks for the responses everyone. We got my mom a ring doorbell which I believe opens up our options if I understand this correctly. We could use a smart light bulb compatible with Alexa and create a rule for it that says if ring doorbell detects motion, turn on the light. This allows us to choose any new porch light fixture without being limited to the cheap ones with built in motion detection in my opening post. Answer from edgevvater on reddit.com

r/Lighting on Reddit: Good ceiling-mounted porch and patio lights with motion activation?
January 1, 2023 -
I'd like to replace my mom's ceiling light on her porch and patio. Ideally it would be nice if it was motion detection or at least had a dim dusk to dawn feature.
So far as I can tell, there are roughly 4 different model lights that fit this criteria under $100 each:

https://www.lampsplus.com/products/benson-black-9-and-one-half-inch-wide-motion-sensor-outdoor-ceiling-light__h7013.html
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-Greenhaven-11-in-1-Light-Black-Motion-Sensing-LED-Outdoor-Flush-Mount-Light-Color-Selectable-Ceiling-Light-830-Lumens-564281011/319392372
https://www.amazon.com/Heath-Zenith-HZ-4300-BK-B-360-Degree-Motion-Activated/dp/B00BC3IPOW
Does anyone have any experience with any of these lights? My fear is that they will be cheap and need replacing in 4-5 years. She's had both of her current on/off ceiling lights for 20+ years. Open to any other ideas as well. :)

June 24, 2010 - While they make some very nice looking wall mount motion lights, for what you are after might be better done by getting the seperate motion sensor switch and wire it to the light fixture that you like. You can tuck the sensor unit up into an unobtrusive corner of the porch. The do make ceiling mounted motion sensors, but I'm not sure if anyone makes one that's outdoor rated with the light sensor so that it doesn't come on during the day.

May 11, 2021 - I do have a few cheap TP-Link Kasa cameras that can trigger on motion and operate TP-Link bulbs and plugs. If a compatible motion sensor is a requirement you may be better off seeking out a smart bulb and matching motion sensor, personally I use Philips Hue which has both indoor and outdoor sensors available, I actually have the cheaper indoor version in my porch.

We Installed and Tested Motion-Sensor Lights to Find the Five Best
August 20, 2025 - The LNC Modern 1-Light Motion Sensing Outdoor Wall Lantern is an attractive light, and our tester really liked the lantern-style look. However, the installation directions were hard to read and poorly written, leading to a stressful installation. The light doesn’t come with a bulb, which was a surprise to our tester, but did allow her to purchase one to her exact style. As a motion-sensor light, this one isn’t ideal—there’s no motion-only setting since the light has to be either entirely on or off.
