| Definitely agree that floodlights would be overkill. And with only 7.5 ft setbacks, your neighbors may also complain that your floodlights are encroaching on their use and enjoyment of their own property. There is already enough light in most suburban areas that it is nearly impossible to see any except the very brightest stars at night. Please don't contribute to more unnecessary light pollution! Besides, brighter lights do not always equate with more safety. Overly bright lights can actually create dark shadows that can hide potential attackers. |
