There is absolutely no need to drown either the inside or outside of one's house with light the way some folks do. There is little evidence that outdoor lighting prevents crime, and considerable evidence that bad lighting can aid crime, cause dangerous glare and loss of night vision, screw up the environment and, of course, also foul up radio communication.
