When we both worked odd hours we had random cycle timers on several
indoor lamps that contually alternated their schedules. We had sensor
triggered floodlights around the entire perimeter of the house, but
they only turned on if sensing a moving object at least the size of a
child. I don't know if it was good or bad, but I do know we never had
a break-in or theft.
