[QUOTE="witzend, post: 161440, member: 99"] Aren't the flourescent lights ugly though? I don't care how much energy they save, I'd sit in the dark before I'd sit in green light. I have boxes of them from when I tried them in the '90's and got rid of them all because I couldn't stand they way everything looked in that awful light. If I want to look that bad I'll go hang out at K-Mart without any makeup on. Our exterior lights are all dusk til dawn AND motion activated. We had a neighborhood safety meeting with the sherriff's office, and they told us that if the lights are on all of the time, oftentimes it just gives crooks and druggies light to work by. But if the light comes on when they walk into your area, it startles them and gets [I]your[/I] attention so that you will look out the window and see what it is that made the lights go on. My neighbor's back porch lights shine in my bedroom window just so, between the shades and right into my eyes. If the lights went on when someone would walk by, I'd know it for sure and check it out. As it is, they have great light to break into their shed by. [/QUOTE]
