In addition to some motion sensitive lights, I use a couple of these connected to lights: http://www.amazon.com/Honeywell-Econoswitch-RPLS740B-Program...
They have an "away" mode where it will randomize the circuit it's connected to during the normal evening hours after sunset.
If you don't want to go full-blown Home Assistant or anything "smart", you can still handle this with a self-contained switch.
I installed a Honeywell similar to this one [1]. You tell it the date and your lat/long, and it knows the times for dawn and dusk.
I had a previous version of it 10 years ago [2]. Worked great.
