Dark houses are more inviting to burglars than houses with exterior lights on. The more houses with lights on, the better lit your street is. There are several ways to automate outdoor light fixtures:
- Replace current light switch with a manually programmable switch to turn on & off at specific times.
- Replace the light switch with a smart switch that can be programmed to turn on & off at sunset and sunrise. (requires a smart phone & possibly an electrician or handyman)
- Light sensor light bulbs (would require an extra sensor outside the porch overhang)
- Light sensor fixtures (would probably require electrician or handyman)
