Security Lights? Green We think Not!

This evening Meg and I both got home after dark. Sad to have arrived home and not able to see the progress in the garden. The Spring Peepers (frogs) were calling like crazy and Meg was out in the garden taking in the evening and the frog concert. I noticed that when standing the frogs were nearly deafening and seated the sound was slightly less due to the slope of the pond.

Any there we were in the dark and our neighbors security light was blaring us in the eyes. Our road is private and very safe, there in no need for these d@#m lights. Another neighbor's security light shines in our master bathroom all night, there are no curtains as they are several hundred yards from us.

When we drive around at night there are always so many houses with security lights and accent lights that show off the property, let alone the many businesses and factories with blaring lights everywhere. This is a great waste of energy and just not needed unless one is out in the yard or conducting business. My hopes with all this talk about greening up and the terrible economy maybe just a few of you might just call the power company to come and take down your lights or set up some type of timer/time clock system on the lighting.

We had one of those security lights here when I bought the place 11 years ago. Maybe a month after moving in I called the power company and had them take it down.
