What is the best type of outdoor security lighting for a home.?

We live close to a major road that gets quite a bit of foot traffic. Now we keep our property dark at night and have a motion detecting flood light. We’ve been told that the exterior should be illuminated. My concern is that if the house is lit up at night…things like patio furnature, bikes and skate boards will be visible…and therefore more of a target.

Thanks in advance for your help…Rob

    Maybe a dust to dawn light would be good. Also you might get a good watch dog.

    Most thieves do not like to be in the “spotlight”. If one is going to rob you, they will do it no matter what you have. You may want to light the yard area with an all night light and use the motion detector type nearer the house. This would deter someone from walking across the property to see what you have to offer.
