See this example of motion sensor lighting control, with manual and off override.

A variety of motion detecting sensors are commercially available, made by such companies as Leviton. I don't know how proud they are of them, but they may be way cheaper than if you made some yourself (and UL approved - useful if they start a fire). Of course, you may want to make one yourself ...

problem with commerical units is that if you don't move around much - the lights go off. Many times I would sit and read a book - ooops - the lights go out - have to move around to keep them on. May want something that also detects infra-red.

They do detect Infra-red. They have two detectors, and they detect a difference in infrared between the two, i.e. movement. The programmable one I offered above allows you to set the delay, and override the motion when needed.
