Paying a couple of bucks for a green light bulb doesn't support our troops. It just expresses an opinion. If you really want to support the troops, one thing you can do is pester your congressperson about the unnavigable bureaucracy at Veterans' Affairs. Don't have time for that? Donate to the USO. Thank a person in uniform...it means a lot.. Take action beyond screwing in a light bulb.

years ago... red light meant you were OPEN for business.. and the crazy fact, when I bought my house, the Lamp post lite was red and the lani lights were Red.... changed them fast ! Don't know what they mean now? but I do know the Flashing lite on a lamp post means HELP and its easier to spot for the EMT's or Ambulance ....

According to google, “A green porch light is used to express support and appreciation for US military veterans. These lights are often used on or around 11/11 in honor of Veterans Day. They are also commonly seemin May in recognition of Memorial Day “

Especially now it is a fitting sign of support.

I would much rather have no light in my garden, and give nature a break at night when it is supposed to be dark, but well-meaning neighbors replace my bulb if I take it out and I don't want to seem ungrateful.
Solution.......paint the sides black. Neighbors will take that hint!

A prize awarded to the most humorfulest post so far!

My circuit breaker for the lamp post is the same breaker as the lawn sprinklers.

I too give in to the urge to be nonconformist sometimes. As long as people can see your house number at night (which is why the Villages requires them).

My blue bulbs looked green because of the material of the plastic enclosure of the light fixture. After trying a couple of different bulbs I gave up and changed back to bright white

What house number? There was nothing on our house or by our house when we bought it. The same next door. FedEx went around the block twice to find us.

Yes there is a circuit breaker in the garage that controls the lamp post, but there are other circuits on the breaker as well., such as your garage outlets...

Not all houses are wired the same.

I don't think TV requires lights to be on at night. I've seen some that have been out for months...

Wow what a sad state we live in, that if we want to DECORATE by having a FUN color lightbulb in our lawn lamp, people will assume it has to MEAN something.

How about we stop assigning meanings and labels to so many things, and just enjoy a green, blue, purple, pink, red lamp post light just because it's fun. Embrace the difference and stop turning it into a "statement."

I cannot find any documentation requiring a house number or that it must be lit at night?
