I agree with you 100% 🙂 At 3 o’clock in the morning, light isn’t going to deter anyone. It will just make their “job” easier.

This is something my husband and I disagree on. I think leaving the lights on just makes it easier for criminals to see what they are doing, and he thinks it makes the house safer. If this is the only problem in our marriage, we’re fortunate.

Ouch – I guess it’s a good thing you don’t live there anymore 🙂 Hopefully you had them switched to CFLs so that you’d save yourself some money!

They were on a timer to come on at dusk and turn off around dawn. I’m more than willing to pay the extra $100 or so because we had many occasions where there were people trying to break into our car,… only if the lights were off. My fiancé went outside once and there was someone digging in our car because it was pretty much pitch black.

Now where we live we have a motion sensor for the lights and that works fine. I just hate entering a dark porch, ya know?

I really think the best bet for these type of folks is to setup a motion sensor light. You get the security factor or warm and fuzzy feeling when it cuts on. Plus, if you notice it switches on you can go and have a look. Thanks for stopping by 🙂

One of them had their home broken into in the middle of the night (while they were home), so it makes them feel a bit safer I guess to leave them on to illuminate the exterior of their home.
