Hello -

In response to local burglaries, some relatives have been advised by the
police to install a dusk-to-dawn low-level floodlight in their small (15
metres across) farmyard., which already has motion-activated halogen lamps.

The police recommend a sodium lamp, but are the CFL-based floodlights also
suitable?
Sodium lamps with dusk-til-dawn sensors seem to be quite thin on the ground,
should I use a separate sensor?
Can anyone comment on whether these might be suitable?

Thanks.

If they've got motion activated halogens allready where's the advantage
in having other

lights that are ON all the time it's dark,is there something wrong
with the MA lamps or

sensors? are they positioned too low down so they can be interfered
with? or is it that

the ON time is too short.
Would they be better off investing in a camera,siren or something else
in addition to the existing lights, or am I missing something here?
