Detect the Motion

While you're switching your lights to compact fluorescents (CFLs), you can go even greener by also installing motion sensor lighting fixtures. These turn on only when movement is detected and turn off automatically.

Not only is outdoor lighting a big waste of energy and dollars; it can be disruptive to wildlife if your outside flood lights are left on all night.

So save electricity and money (and reduce the chance of getting shocked). Get motion sensors and let nature take back the night. You'll also enjoy the benefit of added security.
