Static Lights
Many homeowners’ first response to home security is to install outdoor lighting. Then they turn on the lights at the end of the day, or maybe take the extra step to place a timer or light sensor, so that the lights will be automatically on at night.
The problem with this plan is that while it does light up your yard, it also creates dense pockets of shadows that make for great hiding spots. A much better solution is to put your lights on motion sensors.
You’ll still have the illumination, but it will come as a shock to anyone prowling around the home, and immediately raise concerns in their minds about whether or not they’ve been spotted. Plus, the motion sensors mean that the lights will be used less often, leading to lower electrical bills and longer lived light bulbs.
