Is your home well lit outdoors or pitch black?

What a lovely perk! I was telling my boyfriend if homes live by the street lamps/light is there - they don't need to turn on the lights, saves some money and always well lit. You're one of the lucky ones hehe!

@infatuatedbby Yeah, often when police car stops someone on our street, they'd choose right in front of our house because it's well lit at night...

@sishy7 Lol, I wouldn't want the police to come by though Even if they're out pulling cars over. Speaking of..... One night when all the adults attended a party, I was home baby sitting my cousins. I was probably 16 and they were 8 and 10? And, my sister & her boyfriend had texted saying they were on their way home since I didn't like being home too late alone, at that time it was almost 9:30pm. And, out in front was 2 cop cars blaring their lights.... I kept texting my sister and no response... I called my parents' and they said they left already and should be home any time and not to worry. Turned out THEY WERE GETTING PULLED OVER Her boyfriend, now my brother in law fought the ticket because he was not speeding and they pulled him over when he was 'in front of the house'.

That's great =) I like a well lit area.

@magallon Don't worry! I am too =) But now I sleep in a pitch black room, I love it! But if I'm outdoors, I like it bright =)

@infatuatedbby I am afraid of the dark, that's why...

@infatuatedbby .....Some had trees and some didn't.

@celticeagle yeah same here..

We didnt put holiday lights, some homes in the neighborhood did.

What would motion the light to go on?? Like birds/animals? =P I don't know how I'd do in the boonies, I'd be too scared, lol.!

@AbbyGreenhill Lol , I am always scared someone will pop out of no where =) But I am sure you're loaded with fire arms?

@infatuatedbby at night any animal passing by - raccoon, deer, coyotes.... Why be scared? There is less to be scared of here than in the city.

That is amazing your area is well lit =) I would prefer that and feel more safer!

That is good it is very well lit there =)

@amandajay Wonderful.

@infatuatedbby yeah... Always...hehe

Oh I see, hows the neighborhood? Is it lit though? =)

@infatuatedbby We have street lights

@averygirl72 thats good then.

Oh in the house we turn the lights on too but for the rooms we use :) But for the street same! The street light isn't near us about 4 homes down .. Do you want people to pick the mangos? :)

@hereandthere ohh I see makes sense. Surprisingly they don't collect the fruit from the tree! Or have friends pick it

@infatuatedbby the mango trees belong to the houses on the left and right of the streetlamp. their leaves and branches are blocking out the light, so the street isn't as well lit as it should be.

We have solar lights in the yard and motion sensors out front.. We keep a light on throughout the night in the home but it doesn't use much watts.

@Madshadi its nice to have :)

@infatuatedbby I am thinking about putting motion sensors our front too. And in the garden, I first need to find electricity source, then connect the light.

I love well lit neighborhoods =) I feel much safer and glad yours is too!

@DianneN I'd surely need lights as well if that was my case =)

@infatuatedbby We live on a street with no lights and woods for a backyard. I need lights!

Does hoa replace the lights for you?

@teamfreak16 Yes maybe you'll remember when you see them :)

@infatuatedbby - We live in an apartment. We keep forgetting to tell the guys about it so they can fix it when they are here.

I am not sure about our watts but its energy safe =) I like the outdoors to be well lit as well.

@sunrisefan lol yeah it is common here too... in some areas. my boyfriends area they dont like to put their lights on or something LOL but holidays they put up lots of lights where my block doesn't put holiday lights on but home lights are! depends on the area

@infatuatedbby When we visited our daughters in NZ two years ago, it's different. Almot all the houses do not have even a single light outside. Some only have the light with motion sensors.

Hows the rest of your neighborhood?

@Jam4321 Oh I see - well hopefully the street lights there are well lit to make it safe. :) Do people turn it off because its to save money or the lights are bright enough? The street lights in my area aren't bright enough.

@infatuatedbby just the streetlights on as everybody else's lights are off.

That is very good!

@Unique_Ananya Yes definitely agree with you!

@infatuatedbby yes.. I thibk roads should be lit during the night. Its safe that way

@infatuatedbby I think so. Normally all of us would be sleeping and the robbers will get a good idea of the surroundings.if the lights are on.

@allknowing I'd think if its dark thats would think you're not home as well & its well lit for them to see where they're going. Regardless I hope no one gets robbed of course =) Even if we have lights on, the blinds are closed so you can't tell if anyone is in the room or not..

Really? It's more safe to be off?

We don't live near main street traffic lights, but every about 4-5 houses there is a light post. The light post isn't too bright.. and we have motion lights too =)

@LadyDuck Yes, same here about every 4-5 homes as well =)

@infatuatedbby We do not leave near a main street, but also our secondary roads have light posts every 5 houses.

That is good to hear your home/area is well lit :) That would be safer in my opinion!

That's good you have street lights out that are bright.. Solar lights aren't too expensive depends if you can find a good deal :)
