Motion detector lights for a small space? Neighbor concerns.
Long story short, last year we had trouble with our neighbors. Things have mostly settled down; we live our lives, they live theirs. They own the lot between our houses as well, have filled it with gardening stuff and buildings.
More and more, there are concerning actions at night. People out in the wee hours of the morning between the houses with flashlights. Their dogs going bananas at night; they don't just bark to be barking. Someone is likely out there, trying to be unseen. Noises by our car and near/in our carport. It might not even be our neighbors; our town has thieving and vandalism problems often.
I would like to put at least one small motion detector floodlight on our house right by the carport, at human level. We have a gate there too. The catch is it has to be just powerful enough to say " Hey, you've been spotted and seen," but not enough that it will reach beyond the property line, and definitely not enough to shine in their windows.
Everything we've looked at seems too bright for that space.
Since the space is so small, should I just settle for something like the "GE Outdoor Security LED Wall Light with Motion & Dusk to Dawn Sensor, Solar Light, 2400 Lumens"?
I'm not trying to sell those, just copied from Walmart's app so you can see the size and range I'm talking about.
I know what I'm asking is tricky, but I definitely don't want to set the neighbors off. We definitely don't have the time or the patience to deal with that nonsense again.
I will appreciate any suggestions, aside from move. That's not happening. Eventually I will expand, but this is a pressing problem now.
Have a good day!
