With winter here in Minnesota, it means that it also get dark very early. Home lighting becomes more important in the winter because of the shorter days. With extra darkness, would-be thieves and home intruders have extra time to do whatever they want to do. One thing that a homeowner can do is to install extra lighing around the outside of the home. This will help deture away the intruders becase they like to work in darkness. And with extra lighing around the home they are more likely to be seen.
One good lighting idea is to install motion dectection lighting. These type of lights turn on when somthing or someone walks in front of the dectector. This can be a very easy fix for the average homeowner, if they are comfortable with basic wiring and can work well with basic hand tools. This fix can be done for between $50 and $100 dollars.
