Just motion sensors in our long driveway and on two sheds. On, then off when they aren't used.

Motion detector on our truck and in our back yard. Too much theft going on in the neighborhood.

Porch light is a motion sensor. Little solar lights on my back patio. I love to see the stars and it's getting harder with more people here. I agree with reducing light pollution.

We live out in the country, Coyotes, bobcats even cougars, of course I have big lights and I feel it is outrageous that anyone could regulate outside lighting! We are letting dangerous repeat offenders out on low to no bail to kill innocent people and we concerned about house lights? Thats insane!

No OS Lights on at my place unless I need them. Few neibors with "security" lights. Worst offender is Sisters School District. Parking and grounds lights on all night long every night. Forget star gazing here.

Your comment is confusing. You say you don't have more lights on outside, the news article is stating the county wants exactly what you're doing, and you're upset?

I have one porch light that is turned on once it’s dark and turned off once I go to bed. It’s only on for a few hours. Light pollution has direct and negative effects on energy consumption, human health, disruption to the ecosystem and wildlife, and even crime and safety.

There is no clear evidence that increased outdoor lighting deters crimes. It may make us feel safer, but has not been shown to make us safer. Most property crime occurs in the light of the day. Some crimes like vandalism and graffiti actually thrive on night lighting. https://www.darksky.org/

We need that money in our own country to help our schools, Medicare and education. Don’t you care about our neighbors and communities?

That money won't help our neighbors and schools when Iranian nukes start hitting our allies and eventually us! That is their goal as they have stated for years!!

If it even needs saying, the Military Industrial Complex is the MOST bloated budget of the entire federal budget. If our current "completely-in-over-his-head" Def Sec + idiot prez hadn't started a completely unnecessary war, we would not have depleted stores of weapons and this be on nobody's radar!

Ka San, You sound like a radical liberal. Guess you'd rather have nukes start flying around in the middle east and then closer to home in a couple years.

As a tax payer and resident of Deschutes County I am tired of my tax dollars being used to clean up the filth the homeless people leave behind. If this is a deterrent for them living there then we won’t have to clean it up again. Thus saving tax payer dollars and the rocks are a better look.
