Kitchen Ideas Faqs

Do you leave front porch or backyard lights on at night? Or do you leave a kitchen light on?

Do you leave front lights or rear floodlights on at night? What about a light on over the kitchen sink or in the bathroom or something? Just wondering the norm.

1. Sometimes.
2. Nite light in the hall and bathroom.
3. only leave lights on if someone is going to come home late at night when everyone else is going to be asleep.
4. I would like to leave my front porch light on, but I live in military housing and all outside lights have to be turned off by 11pm. I do leave the light over my stove on so my 3 year old can see when he comes down to our room at night. We have weird floor plan so he has to go from upstairs through the whole house to get to our room.
5. dusk to dawn on the front and back motion detectors both sides of garage solar lighting along the walk ways and built into the decks they generally stay on about 6 hours and recharge daily if i go out of town i plug in the timed lights that have been set to alternate rooms a couple of times
6. I have a 2watt night light in the kitchen and bathroom.No lighting outside.
7. i leave a little kitchen lamp on ...if my 23 yr old is out at night i leave front porch light on.In back we have those lights if something comes within twenty ft they flip onn automatic love those.
8. I don't leave on any exterior lights unless someone is out when I go to bed. I'll leave the front lights on so they can see to come in. Interior, I have night lights all over the house so I don't leave on room lighting.
9. I live in the woods, I turn everything off, If somebody breaks in they will trip & fall because they don't know where everything is. Also if you have mini blinds turn them up, can't see in from outside.
10. I don't leave the outside lights on only when taking out the dogs.I have 3 night lights.
11. I leave the front porch light on. It has a energy saver bulb in it as does the back porch which I use when I hear something. I use 2 night lights one in the kitchen and one in the hallway. I'm afraid of the dark except when camping.
