Lights on Backyard
I have noticed several backyards have flood lights on the back side of the yard. Is there any reason for this? So far I only can think of two:
1. mosqutos will go toward the lights and away from the deck.
2. Lights will point away from the neighbors so it will not disturb them.
does any of this make sense or I am completely of the mark?

3. Security

When my house was burgled many years ago the community police liaison told me that perimeter lighting was the number one most effective deterrent - better than alarms, gates, etc. Mine's on a timer & doesn't go on until 1:30 when I think most people will have left their own gardens.

Actually I wanted to find out why people put lights on the back of the backyard and not on the rear wall of the house.
