Home security lighting
Am I the only person to get rattled about the security lights on houses, that continually shine right into my house from neighbouring houses, sometimes when I get up in the night,which after a heavy night I need to do and my age comes in to question! I do not need to put lights on in my bathroom, my nextdoor neighbours 'security' lights light my bathroom up, so I save on electric!! but honestly it's quite annoying, ther lights are always flicking on and off every evening. There is one light on a house at the end of the garden that shines right into our back rooms,WE are lite up like a Christmas tree every evening. I think it's called light pollution!
I am fed-up with it!

Security lighting should not be so positioned to throw light beyond the property. Try politely asking for the angle to be altered first though, since disputes with neighbours best avoided, if at all possible.

Better still - get an air rifle and shoot the bloody things out [:D]

Kitty Kat I think you have the right idea, when I have approached the neighbours, all they say, "we do not want to be burgled, we feel safe when the lights are on" I think they have a phobia and a big electic bill!

Get a bigger brighter light & shine it back! They should get the message [8D]

Tell them to get a big dog and an air rifle - much more effective that security lights [:D]
