Outdoor Safety

How are the outdoor safety conditions around your home and property? Do you have adequate lighting that will come on when you need it? Do you have lighting that will shine brightly to deter intruders? I ask because I was just reading something interesting about outdoor light fixtures and how important and instrumental they are in deterring residential crime and keeping people safe on their property. This is something that is easy to overlook…but having it there when you need it is so valuable.

We have one fixture out on the side of our garage that I think needs to be replaced. It has never shown directly and effectively to light up this area well.

Other than this, I feel reasonable confident that we are well-lit outside and deterring prowlers from sneaking around where we don’t want them. This means ‘coons in my compost bin, too!
