Outdoor "decorative" lighting RANT!
Ok, I have four solar lights that I put out near the door to light a pathway in and out to walk the dog. I've got some outside lights that we burn for a gathering. BUT some people are over the top. ...

I have 4 outside light profiles depending on conditions.
I have two "light blubs" these are shaped like about a sixty watt screw in light bulb from a decade ago, but they are LED solar lights, they come on at sundown and go off when the batteries run down. Of course there are but two (Currently hanging on my mirrors) and they are not very bright.
Next is the hose light.. (What you ask is a hose light) This will come on tonight when the temp hits about 35 and may well not shut off tomorrow or Thursday, Can't see Friday's anticapated high (It shuts off at 40 or 45) this is a rope light (old fashing hot lamp (incandescent) string duct taped to the hose to keep it from freezing, lies on the ground again not all that bright.
Then I have my awning lights. Timed, on about dark off 11 pm, on again just before Sunrise when I get up and off about sunrise. IF, that is, I string them (Which I have not done in some time)
And finally the Christmas collection.. Likewise not much but that I did let run all night this year.. If I put up a whole bunch (like I used to) they went on the awning timer.
