Security: Outside lighting, especially those permanently on) will put off potential petty thieves / vandals as they will be seen in action. Sensor lighting will also alert you to movement especially when attached to security systems such as Ring.
Curb Appeal: Outside lighting will improve the look of your property during evening / night time. A well light property will be eye catching and can bring out the valuable features of your home.
