A closet lighting system incorporates a light strip that extends around an inside perimeter of a closet doorway and is configured to automatically turn on when motion is detected in the doorway. Motion may be a closet door opening or a person moving into a closet doorway, either walking into or reaching in. A closet lighting system has one or more activity sensors to detect the motion in the closet doorway. A first activity sensor may be configured proximal to the control system or the connected end of the light strip to the controller. A second activity sensor may be configured on a distal end of the light strip and may send a motion signal through the light strip, such as through a data line or through a power line. A motion signal may a voltage signal passed through the power line below a voltage to activate the lights.
