*help* Id like to have a light on the exterior of my detached garage?

[JPC Electrics]

I’d like to have a light on the exterior of my detached garage, (which has power), but I would like to turn it on from the house and don’t want to dig a trench. Is there anything around to help with this?

Yes - http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Manufacturers/Luminite/EasySwitch/

Or why not simply put it on a clock or dusk to dawn sensor (if on all night is OK)?

I used one of these:-

As easy as easy gets - no set up at all.

They also do multi-circuit switches if you have more than one light or a light and a water feature.
