Let there be light! Motel 6 promises to leave the light on for you, and you should do the same for your own house.
Series Part 10: OUTSIDE LIGHTING
Put up sconce lighting on the outside of your garage doors and front door. It adds a warmth to the outside of the house after the sun has gone down. It helps to see the house when it’s darker out, and after a recent trip through some neighborhoods at night, shows what kind of neighborhood you are living in after the big light in the sky goes out.
It’s creepy at night when driving through a suburban neighborhood and no one has lights on the outside of the houses. I am all for being green, but when you don’t have lights on, it sometimes attracts unsafe behaviors from others. Don’t give criminals a reason to break into your house by providing them plenty of darkness to creep around outside.
Beyond the house itself, having lights in well-landscaped areas can be a nice touch. There are several options to provide lights in landscaping which range from spot lights, spot lights in rock formations to blend it in, solar-powered lights, LED lights, string lights (backyard please), or the electricity run underground to an area for traditional lighting solutions.
