As added security for my home, I bought a 25-watt solar-powered floor light to illuminate my stairway to discourage intruders and alert us if there are suspicious movements at night. I have a lot of outdoor lights on my eaves but they consume too much power so I can’t leave them on for more than 8 hours every night.

I will be returning to Handyman the dead bolt that I bought and have it exchanged for a barrel and chain lock instead. My contractor said my current lock system is already deadbolt so it’s better to have another system for redundancy. I also plan to install solar-powered torch lights for the garden and pathway.

Aaaaannndddd CCTV camera.
