My Lanai backs up to the back tee of a golf course. A neighbor a few doors down (seasonal residents) leave a double spot light on day and night even when they are not here. It shines in our kitchen/living room and I just put up a blind to pull at night.
We have 2 Chihuahuas that we take out of the lanai to do their business and needed a light at night to make sure there are no predators in my back yard. We have seen a red fox go past several times as wells as an eagle, and know there are coyotes around the area.
I bought a clear bulb led rope light and attached it under my eaves and run it off a timer.
This gives enough light to see around our yard, but does not shine like a spot light or motion detector light would. Anyone who has small dogs need to be with them at all times when they are outside.....they can become dinner for the predators!
