Please turn on your porch lights every night. If everyone’s porch lights are on, the neighborhood will be much more illuminated. Illumination deters crime by giving criminals no place to lurk. If you are unable to turn the lights on on your porch each night, consider hooking up or engaging a timer, or even better, a light or night/day sensor as opposed to the motion detection sensor. (Motion detection lighting on interior walkways and behind fencing of course may be very useful.) That way the lights will come on before dusk turns into darkness and will stay on until first light.

Please also consider installing bright LED lights or a directional flood light fixture illuminating the darker areas of your property, while being considerate and not blinding your neighbors.

Make sure your house numbers are easily visible from the street during the day and especially at night.

Finally, try to park in well lit areas. If a portion of your street is shrouded in darkness because of heavy trees/foliage or simply lack of light, consider installing homeowner sponsored lighting through Entergy.
