The new LED External Floodlights are attracting new people to having external lighting. Unfortunately they seem to get fitted by people who think that the centre of the beam should point to the boundary of the property - which leads to
50% of the light spilling over as annoyance light. As they are cheap to run - many seem to be on for longer than the Halogen PIR ones where I think preople were a bit cautious about running times.
And they dont respond to air rifles as well either.

Did they get shot?
You never see moths flying around LED lights like you used to see with good old fashioned tungsten lamps.
Yes one thing I've noticed since winter nights drew in that in my capacity of the local blindy, and since so many idiots, I mean residents have drives across footways with no delineator at their boundaries and a light designed to show their vehicle based on a pir, that as I wander down the road and veer into their garden space due to the lack of a little step to guide me, all the lights down the road come on one after the other and in some cases windows get tapped in some vague anticipation that this will actually do anything to aid my guidance at all. Grin.

I've noticed that and the old sodium street lights. I've wonder whether the moths and gnats are attracted to IR/heat rathe rthan light. Maybe I should try with an IR remote see if I can attract moths, hopefully I won't get charged with grooming.
Ah so theres' my 2 packs of Haribo sweets :-)
