Germany is pretty strict about "light pollution". You can have lights at night, but they can't spill onto other people's property or shine up into the sky. Personally I think this should be the case in USA as well - you're welcome to light your own lawn, but I should be the decider of whether my own is lit or not. Let alone security lights that shine directly into neighbors' windows...
