Beacon on Birch Street
A neighbor’s security light is accused of auditioning for a lighthouse.
About the Episode
Security lights make sense until one fixture decides the cul-de-sac should look like a harbor at midnight. Tired parents, stargazers, and the neighbor with blackout curtains all arrived in the comments with different definitions of reasonable brightness.
We walk through lumens like laypeople, acknowledge real safety concerns, and still laugh at the phrase “auditioning for a lighthouse.” Someone posted a photo that looked like daylight at eleven pm; someone else defended it like a sibling.
The episode argues for shields, timers, and neighborly angles—literally and figuratively. Sleep is a shared resource, even if your motion sensor disagrees.
Episode still — wide shot.
