They are easy to read.

A flash on emergency porch light can be helpful.

In our village, we have 3 inch numbers on every house next to the garage door, and most have their number on the lamp post as well.

Don't forget that first responders also use navigation.
Also any number you use to call, the name and info will come up on their computers

I bought plastic adhesive lettering (Tru Value) atop my garage door, in addition to the numbered yard sign on my post light. The garage door lettering really stands out. You don't need a permit to add house numbers on your dwelling.

Our house number is above the garage door and not in a window. We also put the number on the pole sign. You can add a number to your house as well.

ugh!

The developer is being cheap putting stick on numbers on windows -> take those off, they look tacky, and put metal house numbers up over the garage, or some place where first responders will look on the physical house. During an electrical outage, the lighted signs on lamp posts won't be seen at night and most ambulances have lights

I believe that The Villages stopped using stick on reflective numbers on the windows about a year ago. In the new areas we are seeing metal numbers over the garages.

In addition I have always wired a blinking switch to my post light or front entry light so if I need emergency services they can look for the blinking light.

Of course, you can also install a lighted house number sign on your post light.

Lots of the numbers are in the windows so first responders know where to look in an emergency.
