Front door has motion light. No yard/street light close enough to light steps very well. Leave light on at back door as security light,(shop is in back yard), and dog run/pen is out back door. 300 watt equivalent LED bulb on 24/7. Bulb lasts several years.

We don't leave any lights on here, do have a street light though
When it quits working I call the power company pretty quick. When I had my knee replacement I did leave a light on inside. Thanks

We do leave one yellow bug light on 24/7, in the back yard, as the switch for that light is in another part of the house that is not ‘on the way’ to the back yard.
Grandparents always left the light on above kitchen sink at night, but off during the day.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Yard light illuminates the front porch enough and where we park our vehicles and the Ring doorbell camera picks up any motion plus a motion detector light on the basement door for the backyard. Too much illumination inside the house from various electronic devices. We have too much light pollution these days.

We leave two small LED's (one on each side) on in our front door entry and a LED yard light at the peak over the garage door. We also have Ring doorbells and several (solar powered) Ring cameras all around the house/garage and a Simplisafe security system.

I truly enjoy our night sky here. On best dark nights can see Milky Way!
