Aim is important - too many are aimed to dazzle the housholder and

A particular problem if used in a WC used by gentlemen.

Someone very near has recently put up a small, PIR light which spills
over our fence. Walking towards it (as in down the drive to the front
door) night vision is totally wiped out - but it doesn't light the
ground, so doesn't help in safely walking.

And some are "professionally fitted" - "There you are madam - look how it
lights up all the houses across the road!"
