"Outdoor Lights On, Dusk to Dawn"

Campaign to Light Up Our Neighborhoods

Q: What's the easiest and least expensive way to increase lighting of our sidewalks and street?
A: Get everyone on your block to use their existing outdoor lighting every night, dusk to dawn. (front doors, front porches, garages, etc.)

When people to use their own lights it complements large-scale block and neighborhood projects to increase the number of street lights. Remember: Lights, like locks, must be used to be effective.

Q: Why is this a good idea?
A: It increases pedestrian visibility, makes people feel safer walking in their neighborhood, and deters crime-all for pennies a day!

Lighting a 100-watt bulb every night (average of 10 hours/night) costs about 7¢ a night (less than $26 a year).
