Hi, You can use IR sensor or ultrasonic sensor for this regards

Yeah, sensors that could be used are IR, ultrasonic, or capacitive/inductive, but IR is most likely the cheapest. Depending how you want to build it, options to turn on light is either what I could now think is latching flip-flop, that is reset, or if you want to make this with microcontroller, sensor is tied to interrupt, gives out boolean, which is then cleared with switch.
