Light to the outdoors

I have a deck, and it needs a light fixture next to the door. There's no electricity on the deck, and I can't cut through the wall (mounting a fixture to the siding is fine). Do they make battery-powered, wireless, remote-controlled exterior light fixtures?
I would prefer it act as though it was hard-wired, and have a remote switch that I could mount inside the house. Does this even exist? Most of what I'm finding is little lanterns for camping, solar landscape lights, or industrial-looking security flood lights which would be overkill.
Battery-powered would be best (rechargeable AAs would be ideal). Solar is probably out -- the place I want to mount it gets maybe 30 minutes of morning sun per day, and I can't put a collector on the roof.
Motion-detecting isn't necessary, and it doesn't need to be spectacularly bright, but bright enough to read by would be nice.

I have a couple of these (but without the remote control option) and they're excellent.
