Outdoor lights have a number of purposes. They increase the safety at night by illuminating sidewalks and entries to buildings, the let people inside buildings see what is going on outdoors, and outdoor lights make it possible to be active outside when it is dark out. Most cities and towns require outdoor streetlights, although in places where light pollution is an issue, people have to light the outdoors using their own. Outdoor lights can use a lot of electricity, and people who want to use their outdoor lights routinely often replace incandescent light bulbs with the newer CFL or LED bulbs. These throw off ample light to keep the outdoors safe and functional in the dark and reduce the amount of electricity that they use. These energy saving bulbs are available in many local and online stores, and besides using less power, they last significantly longer than incandescent light bulbs. People often decorate their homes with outdoor lights to celebrate holidays or string a tree, bush, or patio cover with LED outdoor lights to create a festive and inviting atmosphere. LED outdoor lights are crisp and bright, and unlike the older twinkle lights, will last a long time, saving the hassle of unwinding strings of burned out lights from trees, roof lines, or bushes. Only outdoor lights certified for use outdoors should be used in locations where the lights will get wet. Porch lights or carriage lights are covered and are safe to use in these receptacles. More and more outdoor lights are using power from solar batteries. The batteries charge all day long in the sunshine and these fixtures have switches that turn them on when it gets dark out. Some of the panels are powerful enough to collect solar energy even on overcast days. Manufacturers even make solar operated motion detectors that come on when movement is detected. These lights use solar panels to collect sunshine that powers the motion detector and lights the bulb when triggered.
You can purchase them from home improvement stores and even major grocery chains. They range in price from $20 per light to over $200.
Depends on how long lights were left on unnecessarily. Usually it's cleaners, children, the general public and employees who leave lights on without considering the energy and money wasted. Think about the time lights were left on before installing motion sensors, then think about the energy use and find out the cost of 1 unit of energy. It usually saves 25%.
