Noticed the lights on homes on the golf course driving home at night. South of LSL. Some look like a airplane runway. It reminds me of a commercial building lighting to attract you to stop (hence massage pun). Lights are bright enough to see across the golf course and down the fairways

Tacky.

Since it's ON their homes can they be breaking deed restrictions?

We have color changing LED lights, indirect lighting in the lanai, hence you cannot actually see the LEDs, and inside the birdcage on the beams. While I will admit that the ones in the birdcage can be seen from the roads, they are almost invisible to my neighbors. We do tend to change the lights depending on the season or holiday, so yes you will see red, white, and blue shortly, and I may set a slow flashing for the 4th of July. These are only on from dusk to around 11 pm. My neighbors have no objections to the lights, as a matter of fact I talked to them before they were installed. Also, I have actually gotten some complements from people who realize we are the owners of the house.

The primary reason for having these installed was safety when we are having a party or guests over, the birdcage is quite dark at night, and with these set to white and 50%, they provide a very nice lighting level, very close to a bright full moon.
As for the original comment, if these were set to rapid flashing, or chasing type lighting schemes, then I could see where these could be annoying.

Probably lights on the lanai.

I am curious too. Does this break deed restriction rules? Somebody once said, "if you obey ALL the rules you miss all the fun". Anonymous. Maybe so. :popcorn:

There is a time and a place for everything.

Some would like it and many would not. The deed restrictions are good because not everyone has good taste.

Not a single person was forced to buy here. And not a single person need stay if they don't like the way a CDD is run. Their home can be sold and usually at a profit if it is clean, appropriately priced, not smoked in or peed in a lot by animals. People can live in bigger homes nearby and not have to pay the approximately $150 amenity fee levied for all no matter how big or how small their homes are.

Nope. If a person doesn't like it here then they can choose to live elsewhere. The cost of moving is much less here than in any other part of the country.

There is no need for anyone who feels that the Morse family is unfair or getting "sinners back in line" to stay here and feel abused.

Sounds like feuding neighbors. We’ll know for sure when we see searchlights aimed at the house next door.
