There are both battery and hardwired lights (bulbs) out there that have battery-powered remote transmitter switches, as well as battery-powered remote motion sensors. Maybe check out the Phillips "Hue" stuff.
The switches typically look just like standard wall-plate switches, and can be stuck anywhere with double-sided tape (usually included) if you don't want to permanently affix them.
Or, maybe a couple of these would suffice:
