They've gone to the trouble to put in some small French doors which I imagine will open onto an expanded deck. Beautiful. Strangely, they've chosen to install these two motion sensor flood lights.
What??
I understand wanting to secure your property. Of course! Lighting is a great way to do that and utilizing motion sensing flood lights are an acceptable means to this end. But let me explain the purpose of these dual head flood lamps. They are meant to be mounted in a position which will cover a large area of the dark corners of your home. Not to illuminate your summer grilling party.
Position the lights to cover all the approaches to your house. Just one of these lights could be placed near the corner to catch the motion from the driveway and the heads could then be pointed to illuminate the drive as well as the new French doors. Done. The only reason to do what is shown above is to attempt to blind the offender.
Now, a quick search tells me each fixture likely costs $24.97 from the local Home Depot.
So, for our exercise, we have a budget of $50.
Let's use our budget wisely. Place the one security fixture in the correct position to get the most bang for your buck. Place the decorative fixture to the right of the French doors and call it done.
Well, not quite done. Remove the poorly executed canopy, purchase another decorative sconce to place at the right of the second door. Install the second security lamp on the opposite side of the house to secure that path.
But wait. I then go around to the front. Don't get me started on the canopy that is positioned to dump water on the front door. I'm certain, (I'm hopeful), that this is a work in progress. Just the same as the poorly designed back canopy.
Either way, for goodness sakes, don't use a security flood light as your home's decorative wall sconce. Just stop.
