Try Easy to Install Programmable Outdoor Lights

Long dark days of winter can be a little creepy especially if you live alone. But don’t be freaked out by the dark any longer. Head to Home Depot and look for screw in light controls for your porch lights.

Westek makes a screw in light bulb adapter that are available in a motion activated style or a programmable type that allows you to set your outdoor lights to shine for a few hours or from dusk to dawn. It will deter unwanted visitors and keep you and your guests safer. Good lighting really helps prevent falls when black ice covers your entry this winter!

It takes just minutes to install and for less than $10 per light fixture, you can’t afford to skip this safety measure at your home. They are also CFL compatible. Ask for them in the lighting department at your local home center.

Watch this video for a little demo on this easy peasy project.
