We are looking at outback yard of the house we are planning on getting and we noticed that its long. We have a small dog and the town says we can only have a 3ft high fence and I dont trust the fact that anything can jump over it, except my dog. I would like to put lights out there and this is what the fence guy gave us as a quote. I am thinking od 2-3 flood lights that aim back and maybe 1-2 that are in the yard facing the house or towards the street. What do you think. # ft isnt hight enough to keep coyotes out.

| well I have lived in alot of places....baltimore in a bad area....IL in a goiod area and NC to name a few........I like the halogen motion lights I bought at lowes ten years ago the best of all I have bought.........a small replacement light vs the big bulbs.....have replaced 2 out of 6 in 10 years.......... Im set up for keeping people out so you cant touch a window without setting off a light........ for your situation trying to protect a small dog Id put up a sodium light that is on dusk to dawn and a motion halogen on each corner.........watch the little dog and buy a big dog that likes the little one so hell fight like hell to protect it.....(roty,GS, anatolian sheperd)......No dog left out at night if you want to keep them safe. |

imo, the best motion detectors on the market now are the rabb STL360 WITH X-10 TRANSMITTER
http://www.rabweb.com/product_line_detail.php?prodline=STL360 there about $95.00 each the stl360 has a motion aiming down plus one going out, alot better coverage than the home depot/lowes box ones that aim straight out also with the stl360 with the x-10 transmitter you can get the chime from x-10 to let you know the motion detector has been triggered. and yes I,m an electrician and this is what i have on my house.
