Is there common courtesy rule for house lights?
TLDR: upset neighbor, what's common courtesy for lights.
Curfew, brightness, modes, or settings.
I currently just have the LED's on my neighbor's side off and now I'm stuck with plain white lights and I just turn them off at night. Although I wanted all night lights.
I've always been a huge fan of these lights. Growing up every year around Christmas I always thought to myself. " Why don't we leave the lights up year round? " The world always seemed more beautiful with color.
Anyway I finally got my own permanent house lights up yesterday. It felt like a dream coming true. Within one day I had a next door neighbor complain about my lights on her side. Now I am fearing that I might be offending other neighbors.
My house is lit up well and so is my walkway now. I just wonder: what's the common courtesy? Are these lights offensive to people across the street? Should I have them on a timer ? Are they only bright to me because I'm in them?
I wanted to have these all night so I could see out of my window well. I'm also in a bright neighborhood with street lights and a main road. My house is just dark. I turned off all the LED's on the neighbors side. I don't see me turning them back on her side because of confrontation. I just wonder, what's the common courtesy you have learned as long time owners. Thanks in advance.
