We have one very very old lamp post just 2 doors up from us, it only shines an amber glow and at that is half coverd by the neighbours trees so is rubbish for snow watching. I have worked out though that the sensor light outside the front door is perfect, if downstairs I run take 3 steps outside and volia, if upstairs I only have to open the bedroom window and on it goes. The kids loved it in the January snow, not sure what the nieghbours thought of me running outside and opening and closing the window but I don't really care x
