We have motion floods outside.
And we were one of the ones robbed last year, in Feb. '09.

But the main reason we have the lights is that we ALWAYS walk our dogs in our own back yard, and we need to see what they are doing (we think they do too but probably not). And we have to take them out several times after dark this time of year.

We have no house behind us, but do try to be considerate to the one house next door it may possibly bother and to turn the light off if we notice the wind or something tripping it over and over.

I think the 'rude' people may not have any idea of how they are affecting their neighbors, and could easily re-aim the lights so as not to shine so directly into your friends house.

Hope it can be worked out...
