Use any other precautions to make it appear that someone is at home at all times. 1 - Spotlights mounted in a corner can light two walls of your home. 2 - Floodlights mounted high on an end of your house provide light for a wide area. 4 - Use a junction box wherever a spotlight is to be mounted or where an extended run is to be made. Such lights are inexpensive, relatively easy to mount and highly effective in reducing break-ins.
Spotlights can be either single or double, although the double spotlight is recommended.
Always mount the light high enough so it cannot be unscrewed easily by a burglar. Floodlights can be either single or double, although double is strongly recommended. Lights mounted on either the corner or end of the house should be set in such a way that they illuminate dark areas behind rosebushes, screens, walls, trees, etc. Mount spotlights or floodlights in any spots around the house that could provide a hiding place for burglars or prowlers. Wiring for floodlights can be tapped into the nearest outlet box.
